  1. Snow Leopard can’t get here soon enough. It’s become apparent that Apple is a bit overwhelmed, given that it’s taken them nearly 3 months to patch the serious DNS flaw, the stability issues with the iPhone/iPod Touch 2.0, and Leopard being less stable than Tiger, among other examples. Jobs knows this, luckily for us, and that is why Snow Leopard is what it is. I’d much rather have a fast, snappy, stable system than one that has new features galore. Here’s hoping Snow Leopard delivers and restores Apple’s image of stability and security.

    I second that. AAPL seems to have way too much on its plate as of recent. I’d much rather have AAPL be a company that produces a few amazing products that have a diverse set of good products.

    Slim back down AAPL. Cut the fat and get back to making a few amazingly breathtaking devices.

  3. I always appreciate software update notifications on MDN. Why? It’s easier and faster to download standalones once and apply them to all four of my computers than to use Software Update one at a time. Keep up the notices MDN.
