iTunes 7.7.1 …And Apple’s QC problems keep on comin’!
Apple released iTunes 7.7.1 this evening (via Software Update). According to Apple, the update: iTunes 7.7.1 includes fixes to improve stability and performance. I consider myself a big fan of both stability and performance in general, so I’m all for this update. Unfortunately, the improved performance doesn’t seem to include cutting down on my insane backups times... Read More
Why so “critical”, Microsoft?
Let’s do a little free-association exercise. When you hear the words “Microsoft” and “critical update“, what do you think of? I know personally, my first thought is “OMFG another Microsoft security exploit!“. Given this knee-jerk reaction I assume I share with many, why do you think Microsoft would label the latest Office Mac update 12.1.1... Read More
I think my Software Update is a little confused…
That’s either one hell of a secure Camera Raw update, or the most photo-centric Security Update I have ever seen. (A restart set things straight). Read More
Apple begins 10.5.4 speculation by releasing 10.5.3
Apple today released the highly rumored 10.5.3 update for Mac OS X Leopard, which means we can now begin looking for hints of a 10.5.4 update. According to Apple, 10.5.3 includes a laundry list of fixes, far too lengthy and boring for me to bother copying and pasting. If you care, you can read about them here.

Why you probably shouldn’t check this box
Ever since getting my MacBook, my Mac Pro has been sitting in the basement, a bit neglected. Its sole job these days is to record Howard Stern off Sirius and throw bookmarkable audio files into iTunes for me. I use Audio Hijack from Rogue Amoeba to handle the recordings, and I had read last month that apparently the latest 10.5.2 update and/or Leopard security update were causing... Read More
WTF!? Nothing new from Apple.. on a Tuesday.. on its Anniversary?!?
Well this sucks. I was all set to wake up to find the Apple Store post it note. Now my day is ruined, and I might as well go back to bed until next Tuesday. Apple has done pretty well this year, announcing a new product release on about 78% of Tuesdays since Macworld 2008, and today seemed like a prime opportunity to get that number up over 80%. After all, it is a Tuesday, AND... Read More
Safari 3.1 released – HTML 5 CSS Animations
There are a bunch of improvements listed, including support for HTML 5 specs and CSS Animations, but my two favorites are “Stability: Improves Stability” and “Compatibility: Improves Compatibility”. The Leopard version weighs in around 35 MB, while the Tiger is a slim and trim 25.7 MB. So, does anyone else find it odd a Safari point release requires a... Read More
