I’ve heard there are some wildlife groups trying to get Apple to do more stuff with the actual S.L.’s lol. I don’t know- people are saying it’s good PR for Apple- they should jump on that.

I had a chance to visit The Ski Channel which is having all sorts of contests where you can win 3 nights in Crested Butte, lift tickets, and much more.

“They hide behind their tails”

You say that like it’s a bad thing. Sounds to me like it’s a smart thing–using what they have to protect themselves.

But does any of this really matter?

I once, many moons ago, worked at a zoo which had a snow leopard breeding program. They are beautiful animals native to the Himalayas. I once saw a zoologist give them some cat nip. It was fun to watch. They could roll a bowling ball as a house cat rolls a toy.

It would be completely awesome if Apple took a cue from MacHeist (aside from the new iPhone ad), and designate something like 5% of gross (or net?) sales for the quarter in which they launch Snow Leopard.

I’d pay off my lingering debt in jiff to buy a new Mac and “contribute.”

They are notoriously hard to observe in the wild, disappearing into their environment (behind their bushy tail) and incredibly fast and stealthy. I sorta like the analogy: perfect for an update but not a full release.

Snow Leopards are not closely related to Cheetahs. The are in the same subfamily as leopards. Cheetahs has their own genus and different from most big cats.

Steve should start using small cats then. Go Ocelot 1.0!

It would be nice, however, if he would use this naming as an opportunity to shed some light on them. But maybe he’s leaving it to Mangesh?
