Hmm.. I’m always game for updates, but Apple sure has been sloppy for the last couple years.
I installed everything, and immediately started having problems with iPhoto losing focus to where I would have to click on another app and then back so that I could get any of the menu items to work.
Hey, Mike Buonorotti:
Cut your retarded semi-political ramblings, man–nobody comes to this site to hear them, and they spoil it for many of us.
Thanks for nothing, you chimp.
Macbooks are here!! Check out the apple site. Black ones too.
The MacBooks are here!
Does this update take down the login screen too…?
iWeb may be the biggest mistake Apple has made since Aperture 1.0. When I got my MBP 17″ last week, I immediately reinstalled the OS and left iWeb off completely. How big is the installation of iWeb? Its frickin huge. What a waste.

“Ical on line is a bit confusing when room 1 is in light blue and room 2 is in light blue too. It’d be easier to work out if one was in blue and the other in red or something.”
This user interface design is less than optimal, because it relies SOLELY on color to impart important semantic information.
This is a serious problem, for example, for the ~10% of males who are color blind or cannot detect color differences easily.
In addition, not all computer users may have color screens; think of kiosks, mobile phone users, libraries, and certain home users, for example.
It is certainly appropriate to use color to SUPPLEMENT semantic information, but to use color as the SOLE means to convey semantic information is at best inconvenient and at worse exclusionary.
I agree with Jeff, iWeb is HUGE and so are the locally stored sites, if they’re big ones. Look in ~/Application Support/iWeb and there is a file called ‘Domain’, mine is +670MB and I only have 2 sites with about 4 pages on each.
