After installing, I was able to drive the Rubicon in my two wheel drive Yugo…
My useless dock stacks aren’t any snappier.
Tested it on the glossy iMac’s, yep, screen is still shiny.
This won’t take the shine off Christmas. I like shine, sunshine, shoe-shine, Mac-shine.
@ ron
How about moonshine? MMMMMM
MatteBoy:
Apple MacBook, iMac screens too glossy? Apply inexpensive non-glare film
With continued reassurances from MDN that Macs are NOT subject to any security issues, bugs, worms, snakes, trojans, or other nasties… I will ignore this ‘update’ like I have all the others before.
Hey, MDN… why do you think Steve keeps putting these things out? Is he crazy or something!
With A Name Like Peterson, You Know It Means Stupidity™
Oh geez. Looks like it’s C1’s time of the moth again.
By what logic to you get from:
Macs are far more secure than Windows
to:
Macs are 100% secure?
If I told you that my car gets far better gas mileage than a Humvee fully loaded with passengers and luggage, would you assume that my car could go for thousands of miles on a gallon of gas?
What the hell kind of name is “ChrissyOne”. I know… proudly stands for Ball Buster. Pathetic.
Some moths are worse than others.
with a touch display
MatteBoy – If you don’t like the screen, why did you buy one?
There are other options.
@Peterson
What?
Call the papers! There goes Moth Boy again!
What was wrong with 2007-009 1.0?????
There was a bug in the Safari that came with it.
@ Peterson
“What the hell kind of name is “ChrissyOne”.”
Sorry, I forgot that you can’t count that high. >.<
Seems like this security update is updating a lot of the same things as the last recent update. I wonder if they figured out that their last fix wasn’t perfect? They are so picky on details, for our benefit.
Anyone who doesn’t install Apples software updates doesn’t trust Apple, and therefore, should not buy one.
@C1… I think this version of peterson just might be an innocent bystander, and not our original peterson. He doesn’t carry the same vitriol as the original, or the same bite to his sarcasm.
‘Course he could just start talking about “trusted computing” and then it would settle things.
You might be right… my idiot detector might need calibrating. I’ll go test it over on CNET.
What’s is like installing the fixes for the patches that patch the updates which fixed the patch on you MAC? Wait another day and there will be another fix for updates. Typical Apple—rushing incomplete and poorly tested products on a vulnerable and unsuspecting public.
Oh well, back to my xBox.
Your potential. Our passion.™
The security content of v1.1 is the same as v1.0, but there was apparently a Safari issue introduced with v1.0 that v1.1 fixes. That’s all the technote says.
My iPhone feels snappier!
The best gets better.
Now I feel more secure than ever.
Thanks Apple.
My peanut butter is crunchier. And my jar of Nutella automagically refilled itself. What an update!
The Moth Confesses.
ChrissyOne,
I have just one question:
(1) Is there a ChrissyTwo?
(b) Do you Samba?
I know that’s actually two, but I’m pretending I’m Peterson.
Unfortunately for Hm…, his peanut butter is the smooth variety. I wonder what was added.
Peanut butter and honey sandwiches ROCK!
Messy but oh so yummy.
@Zune Tang©
You’re saying Apple does this!? Have you seen, uh, the last million updates to Vista, which was basically a gigantic horribly delayed rush job?
@ LorD1776
If you really want to know where the name comes from, I’ll tell you.
When I signed up for HotMail a bazillion years ago, I tried (a bit naively) to get Chrissy@hotmail.com. Those were the early days of Hotmail, but not THAT early, so of course I didn’t get it. They had a screen that gave you alternate suggestions, and they were things like “chrissy2758”, etc. I’ll be damned if I’m going get in line behind 2757 other “chrissy”s, so tried ChrissyOne and it worked. I used it everywhere after that and it was always available.
-c
And no, I don’t samba. I try not to connect to Windows in any way.
Who would have thought? ChrissyOne actually answered a question without any hate, profanity, obscenity, or ball bustin’.
What’s going on?
Wow, Just Wow
@ Peterson
You’re an idiot.
(better?)
ChrissyOne,
Thanks Darlin’.
Peterson,
ChrissyOne has never been anything but cordial and polite to me and most others. Do you think, maybe, it could be you?
Just a thought.
@LorD1776
Yea, you’re probably right. But, I get to be here too, unless MDN spikes me.
And, guess I should also say thanks to her for putting me onto Carbon Copy Cloner – great app!
You see, my problem is this: I’m interested in one thing and one thing only:
Best, fastest, most reliable, secure, robust, and totally stable Mac Pro that Cupertino can produce and I don’t want to have to wait through Steve’s mindless marketing manipulation to get it.
And, same thing for Mac Book Pro, oops, that’s two things.
I could absolutely not care any less about cutsy music players and fun phones. I hate those things – they are sucking the life from Apple’s reason for being.
Do I make myself clear?
Zune, you’re lucky… i had to send My xbox 360 in for the second time… oh, wait! I’m lucky too! Microsoft is paying for it! Again!
I’m so glad they set that 1.5 billion aside for that up to date, great product repair!
Peterson,
Yeah, I hear ya loud and clear. I agree. Apple probably does play us like puppets with all the incremental upgrades. I’ve been wanting them to come out with a tower model that would compare to a decent PC rig for some time. I mean, it wouldn’t have to have SLI or CrossFire, but at least accept a modern graphics card.
The MacPro is alright for a workstation. But how many of us need or want that? We don’t need dual processors or fully buffered RAM. Dual or quad cores and standard RAM are just fine.
At least if you’re a gamer you can build your own and use XP.
But I guess we will just have to take what they throw to us.
But I must disagree about the iPod and iPhone. Whether you approve or not, these products have given Apple a vast amount of influence and power. I don’t know where the company would be today without them. They might not exist, at least not as an independent corporation.
Only the future will tell. Come on MacWorld Expo.
On my Mac, Safari performance is definitely a little sluggish after this update. Am I the only one having this problem?
@Alex
“You’re saying Apple does this!? Have you seen, uh, the last million updates to Vista, which was basically a gigantic horribly delayed rush job?”
You can always spot a “noob” by the way he responds to Zune Tang©
Thanks ZT for fleshing out the new guys!
Now, what can be done about this “Peterson” idiot (or is it “Petersen”? I can never keep it straight).
El Guapo,
Nothing need be done. They set themselves up as whipping boys. They are actually providing a public service. This is a necessary evil.
alansky,
I have not installed it yet. But have you tried one of the other browsers to see if they are affected?
These updates are forcing me to restart my Mac more than once a month…!
If Macs take over the world we might have to do it everyday. Would that suck, or what?
snappy very snappy now
Stacks are only useless in their default configuration. If you drag your Applications folder to the dock, you have quick access to all your applications without having to go through Finder. Ditto for the Utilities folder.
Also, if you use the terminal command: defaults write com.apple.dock mouse-over-hilte-stack -boolean YES
then icons in your stacks get an awesome mouse-over effect.
If you use the terminal command: defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add ‘{ “tile-data” = { “list-type” = 1; }; “tile-type” = “recents-tile”; }’
then you get a “Recent Applications” stack that shows you your 10 most recent applications. Very useful if you’ve got a gigantic Applications folder like I do.
Peterson and LorD1776. Two nerds in love. What a beautiful thing, and just in time for the holidays. Warms the heart

If Peterson were a nerd he would never have written:
“With continued reassurances from MDN that Macs are NOT subject to any security issues, bugs, worms, snakes, trojans, or other nasties…”
Every nerd knows that no system can ever be 100% secure. The fact that there is a huge difference in security between OS X and Windows doesn’t mean that the Mac is not subject to any security issues. Nerds, however, can see the value in having something that’s perhaps 90% secure vs something that’s maybe 10% secure. They recognize that the 90% secure system will stop more than 90% of hacker attempts to break in, where the 10% secure system will only stop the casual attempt.
gzero,
Wanta make it a threesome? The more the merrier. Ho Ho Ho !!!
Stacks are much worse than useless. “Useless” means without useful purpose. Stacks is a giant step backwards that removes a very useful feature of the Tiger Dock. Somebody at Apple really missed the boat on this one!
@ LorD1776
“Wanta make it a threesome?”
Well now this is getting interesting…
@ Peterson
Didn’t mean any harm, honestly. I was responding to the old, satirical luddite Peterson, and if that’s not you, then mea culpa. But calling the iPod/iPhone ‘cutesy’ is to miss the point. You have to look at where this stuff is going.
Every computer company (if they’re smart) wants to build a handheld, fully functional computer. That’s the next growth vector in this business. There is some growth left in desktops and laptops, but not much compared to what they’re going to sell when they’re smaller and everyone can afford one (or more).
Problem is, almost every handheld has been a screaming failure. Palm Pilots didn’t last long as stand-alone machines, and now phones are getting better, but none of them comes close to a real computer. I never bought a Pilot because I had to ask myself – when would I use this? What would I use it for? and I came up with very little.
But if you get people used to buying a cutesy music player by the hundreds of millions, you’ve slipped that new paradigm into their pockets much more easily. I don’t think many people would tell you that having thousands of songs and movies in your pocket is a bad thing. It’s an easy sell. Now add email, and web surfing, and it starts to get interesting. Apple is learning how to make a small computing device easy and slick to use and live with, and they are doing a fantastic job, especially considering what else is out there.
If this new tablet happens – an iPhone-like device that’s maybe 8 or 10 inches across, and can do most everything a real laptop can do – I’ll tell you right now that it’s going to launch a new form factor where tablet PCs have had only tepid acceptance at best.
ChrissyOne,
Uh, I meant that in an entirely platonic way. I guess I should have reread it for content and not just typos before I clicked ‘submit’.
You have a kinky mind. I like that.
