MacDailyNews Take: Snappy!
But will it be…
Oh, I won’t say it.
Oops, looks like MDN already did!
Scrolls like butter.
Wow! The combo update is 1.12 GB! Is that some sort of record?
The “combo” update includes every component that has been modified for every previous “dot-dot” update, so it should get larger each time during the run of a major release. Since we are up to “dot-dot-seven,” it should be pretty large by now, and that IS pretty large.
But will it blend?
There’s an app for that.
Wow, the Combo Updater is 1GB in size.
Mail 4.5 breaks “letterbox” plugin.
there’s an update at harnly.net
The combo is 1.12 Gigabytes! I love it. Gonna fire up my Geoport Modem and download now! 😉
how come mine only 313 MB?
Probably because it’s the “incremental” update, versus the “combo” update.
Harnly was faster than I was. Fix for letterbox here:

Does it fix my Wi-fi connectivity issues with my 1st gen MacBook?
Macs get the snappy updates while PC’s get the slappy headaches.
May Ballmer and his one sided state of affairs continue in perpetuity.
I hope they fixed the folders position that get messed all the time.
I’ll wait a few days to see if any reports of problems emerge first.
In the meantime, I haven’t restarted my system since the last update. Can any Windoze losers ay that?
Or them Android losers. Rebooting weekly. lol
My Macbook smells like a sunny Spring day now! Even thought we had snow here today! It’s like….MAGIC!
Guess I need to update a little more often…
I used the manual “combo” update this time, instead of letting Software Update do it incrementally. Everything feels just a little smoother and more “snappy.” It’s (almost) a shame that when things are working REALLY nicely, I’ll feel compelled to install a brand new “big cat” in a few months, as soon as it’s available. 🙂
Wireless is still broken!
Maybe it’s broken, period (as in physically due to a hardware problem). Try booting from your Snow Leopard installation disk and seeing if it’s working when you start up from a minimal unaltered system?
Wireless is still broken! Back to my Ralink adapter.
I wonder if this is going to fix the problem I’ve been having with my work PC.
Only 186 hours to go on my Geoport landline connection. Awesome!
Made the Mail app useless again by stopping the WideMail plugin from working.
“Computerworld – Apple on Monday patched 56 vulnerabilities, most of them critical flaws that could be used to hijack machines, as part of 2011’s first broad update of Mac OS X.
Among the fixes was one for a vulnerability that four-time Pwn2Own winner Charlie Miller didn’t get a chance to use at the hacking contest earlier this month.
Of the 56 bugs patched in the update for Snow Leopard, 45 were accompanied by the phrase “arbitrary code execution,” Apple-speak for rating the flaws as “critical.” “
Update. My MBP is booting up much faster from a cold start. Nice update Apple.
