This is why I still run Leopard. No unwanted social networking crap: all I need for notifications are icon badges. Really, who would need any more than that? Once the universal binary restriction gets too great for me to do my work, I'm just going to upgrade to Snow Leopard. And hopefully stay there for another couple of years; it's Apple's Windows XP right now.
There's this thing I loved about older OS X releases, and really older operating system releases in general: everything felt more raw, more accessible. 10.5.8 is just so pleasant to use. There's nothing getting the way of my work. It seems that newer releases always try to make diving down into your files, folders, and work much harder and more difficult. GNOME 3; Mavericks; and Windows 8... they all just have too many abstractions between you and the software.

The magic of iPad." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Apple_Inc._slogans#Mac_OS_X http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Apple_Inc._slogans#Mac_...
