"My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'll be showing you some of the new features in Mac OS 10.5 Leopard. Ok the next thing I'm going to show you is a couple of the new Dashboard features. So I'm going to hit F12 which is my Dashboard shortcut, and I'm going to go down here to the bottom left hand corner and hit the little plus button. That's how you install the new widgets to your desktop. There are two new ones that are packed in. One of them, let me scroll back here, is going to be the movie widget with the ticket on it. I'll click on that, it's going to pop on the desktop, and I'm going to drag it right over here and out of the way. The other new one is going to be webclip which is right here. I'm going to drag that one over here, and we'll deal with that one in a moment. I'm going to go back to the movie widget for the time being. Let's go back over here. Now we're going to go over here to the actual movie one, and let's see I'm going to click on Saw 4. It's going to show me where it's showing at, once you put a default in. Since I just installed this there's no default, so I'm going to hit info, since I live here. I have to find my zip code, so I'll put in Austin, Texas. There we go. Hit done. Flips it around. Now it shows me every theater that Saw is showing at. I can choose to watch the trailer by clicking this button here which is a pretty neat feature. It actually shows it on Dashboard. I don't really care to watch this, so I'm just going to go back. Or I can actually click on, if it's available to buy tickets from that particular theater, let me find one where I can, you can click right on this to actually buy the tickets which is a really nice feature."
