Review: Apple OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
Apple's happily admitted from day one that Snow Leopard was to be a better Leopard, building on the foundations of Mac OS X 10.5. The thinking was to make things better, faster, easier - an upgrade about refinement rather than revolution. This approach, coupled with Snow Leopard's rock-bottom ...

Apple Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
DarkVision Hardware Articles and Review from around the web — ... coupled with Snow Leopard's rock-bottom £25 price-point, has led many to yell 'service pack', but that's pretty ignorant when you consider what Snow Leopard claims to offer. Sure, there's no Time Machine or Spotlight this time round, but there are still dozens of new features, big and small. More importantly, the OS has had large chunks of its guts ripped out and rewritten, which Apple claims should speed up your Mac and even return hard-disk space to you post-install. Link: TechRadar

Review: KDE 4.3
TechRadar: Computing reviews — You might wonder why we've chosen to look at the 4.3 release of KDE and not 4.0. The answer is that 4.0 should never have been released – it suffered from instability and a much reduced feature set. After 18 more months, 4.3 is the release that 4.0 should have been, and it's now stable enough for critical use. KDE is also now stuffed full of eye candy. There's a new desktop theme called Air, but we weren't too keen on it. It's all light grey and washed out, and we preferred the higher contrast of the Oxygen theme. It's also a crime that there's no WebKit integration for KDE's web browser. WebKit started life on KDE and it's staggering that the developers can't ...
