Another Great Mac OS Review by ArsTechnica's John Siracusa

John Sirasusa@ArsTechnica - Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Review

I already included his review in my list of resources, but his articles are so good, I thought I should make a separate entry. Good stuff.

AppleInsider In-depth Articles by Price McLean (Daniel Eran Dilger)

Some Great Articles on Apple's Upcoming Mac OS X 10.5 Release, Leopard. (And is Prince McLean also Daniel Eran Dilger?)

Here are some great articles at AppleInsider where they review features of Apple's new OS X release Leopard 10.5 . I really like this turn to analysis and in-depth reporting. I guess it qualifies as rumor, since Leopard has not been officially released.

The writing of Prince McLean seems very much like Roughly Drafted. Could Prince McLean be Daniel Eran Dilger? The more of these I read and the more McLean cites Roughly Drafted, the more it seems obvious. I do think the in-depth style fits a purely factual article better than a part fact, part conspiracy story.
