– Resolves an Exposé issue that may result in only a subset of windows being shown.

[Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader “John F” for the heads up.]
Just downloaded and installed.
No issues thus far. Smooth.
And I just updated the machines at work!!!! more work aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!!!!!
Ok, I’ll live
is it snappy????
can someone say mobile me hidden updates?
mobile me hidden updates.
“I’ve got the snappy feeling..
oh that snappy feeling…”
Once again, MDN beats everyone to the news.
MacDailyNews. Where “Where Mac News Comes First” isn’t just a catchy slogan.
By the way, a MacBook and an iMac updated, so far so snappy.
Wrong, MacRumors posted it about 15 Min Before MDN did !
I’m scared of updating big updates like this, as they can go wrong.
I always wait a few days, to see if it goes wrong, for some people.
Working Great.!@@!

The updates can tell when you do this and they don’t like it.
Sometimes they’ll work just fine for everyone else because they’re trying to lull you into a false sense of security. Then, once they’ve got you trusting that everything is okay, you install them, and BAM! Everything goes to hell.
Oh.. no, wait a minute, that’s Microsoft.
Its snap-tastic!
is your mom’s cooch ya fucking retarded snappy dipshits.
Mmmmm, taste that Apple goodness. You see, when Apple bakes a pie, it’s just right, with sugar on top, delicious pastry, and a proper filling. With Microsoft, you get a weird transparent plastic pastry, which for some reason is not transparent, but actually blurred and clouded. I assume thats to hide the out of date, rotten innards of the pie. The Microsoft pie is also huge, and bursting at the seams. The Apple pie is always a trim size, just large enough to carry everything you need, but small enough to fit inside the tiniest of ovens.
And, that was a good one, Oh no my shorts. I LOLed.

MDN Magic word: a controversial “free”. Our updates are free, Microsoft’s Service Packs are sometimes a little bit more? Debate please? Any Microsoft fanboys ready to rally against me and defend Bill and Ballmer? Please, take a shot. I’m sure I’ll get a good laugh out of it.
Firstly, yes, MacRumors did have this announcement first.
Secondly, I have updated (smoothly) and I still don’t see any MobileMe service logos or anything, so I guess there might be one last update before the set release date…? I only mention this because it seemed to be widely reported this 10.5.4 update would activate the hidden code for MobileMe. Oh well.
There’s a guy on Version Tracker writing about OSX upgrades and how rotten is the Apple core. He should regress to windows and then he could really bitch.
Don’t yet see the 10.5.4 Combo Updater on the Apple D/L page as of 1539 MDT.
Any shutdown hangs like were reported with 10.5.3? I haven’t even installed 10.5.3 because of said hangs and because of Firefox incompatibilities. I guess I’ll wait a few days again and see what happens.
MW: I’ll wait to see how “others” do with this update.
Has anyone else had any issues with the EFI Firmware update 1.3??
it was release on April 8th, and i’ve had issues with it (or System Updater) ever since. It constantly says that I need to install the update even though i’ve done so 3 times.
Yay! Fixes Safari’s issue with loading some secure sites. I can finally access my bank’s site again. I was insistently blaming this on my bank for 2 weeks.

Does it solve the Photoshop 7.0 issues?
And it’s not even Tuesday…
CS3 issue has been fixed… I guess we can go back to bitching about the ridiculous price Adobe charge for CS3.3.
God do Adobe charge crazy prices for CS 3. Over here in the UK we have to pay double what you folks in the US do. I say have to, instead of updating to the Master suite like I originally planned, I just got Illustrator and picked up the Apple equivalent when it comes to video production. Good times.
