Ars Technica’s Sublime Leopard Review
Updated: Ah, John Siracusa. Is anyone else capable of such sublime operating system reviews? His Leopard manifesto (17 action-packed pages) is sublime:
That’s the Downloads folder on the left, and the disk image file on the right. It’s slightly bigger.
If you are not shaking your head, uttering something profane, or taking some deity’s name in vain right about now, congratulations, Apple may have a position for you in their user interface design group.
He’s complimentary where Apple got it right, mean where it got it wrong, and always insightful and funny.
Did he change his name from John while I wasn’t looking?

Pssst, it’s John Siracusa. Not Robert.

Come on, well I agree that it’s an excellent review and very well written, ’sublime’ is simply the wrong word.

Perhaps “superlime” then?

Perhaps “superlime” instead?

That guy is just great. Everything I’ve learned about Mac OS X is because of him. He’s the only one that can write like that.

Glad to see John Siracusa getting the respect he has deserved for many years, and many OS X reviews.
Simply setting the standard for all others to aspire to. Yes, sublime is the appropriate word.
