Snow Leopard Can Upgrade Tiger

A few months ago Walt Mossberg from the Wall Street Journal stated that the thirty dollar Snow Leopard upgrade disk can upgrade Tiger systems. If this was true then all Tiger users could simply skip Leopard and spend thirty dollars instead of over one hundred for a Mac Box Set. Being a curious soul I decided to see if this upgrade disk could upgrade Tiger, because I already had iWork 09' so buying it again in the box set was just not going to happen. So I bought the upgrade off of Amazon and tried to install it on my three year old Intel Tiger. To my surprise the upgrade actually worked! I was a little stupefied about why Apple would not check to see that I have Leopard installed because I kind of broke the EULA and saved more than 100 dollars. Then I got to thinking that maybe Apple is just throwing in the towel and giving in to privacy. Apple might as well get thirty dollars off of someone instead of getting nothing. Apple also does not prevent users from installing a single license Snow Leopard disk on multiple computers which is what the family pack is for. Maybe Apple is just trusting it's consumers a bit too much to make good choices. But then again who could ever be mad at Apple?

Proof: Here's me upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard:

iPods for Everyone!

According to Apple's music event there has been a lot of changes to their iPods. All older iPods will have a price drop and become a bit more reasonable in pricing. They will also be releasing new versions of iPods with more memory. The shocker of that event is that the iPod Nano will now shoot video. They have also released a commercial about the new iPod.  It seems to me that this doesn't make any sense. Why can't the iPod Touch get the camera. The iPod Touch is the same as the iPhone except for the calling capabilities.  Do you think this made sense? What are your opinions? Post your comments below!
