Leopard lags behind

First of all, time machine doesn’t connect with wireless hard drives. So, not only they cripple airport extreme (no air tunes for you) but they don’t integrate its coolest feature with their latest OS.
.
iPhone and leopard’s notes may share the fonts and the yellow background, but that’s about it. Mail notes won’t sync with the iPhone.
.
Visually, Leopard is a middle-age man dream of the future. Like the 5th avenue apple store, but with more rainbow colors and twirls. Damn sixties.
.
The new front row sucks. Not only the commands (volume, time display) lack subtlety, but they also lack transparency, so for every small movement on your remote control those blocky grey/blue boxes comes back to haunt you. You’ll learn to hate it, too.
.
And the videopodcast option is gone from the movies selection, now it’s all under music, podcasts… And you can only get audio, no video! Is apple tv as shody?
.
Certainly, the iphone development left apple strained: That’s the only reasonable explanation. Now apple is the new microsoft not only in business practices, but in aesthetics as well.
