Mac OS X 10.4.2 is coming

This is Martey Dodoohttp://www.marteydodoo.com [This is Martey Dodoo] My negative mindset toward Apple on this issue is probably the result of the inherent superiority that many Mac users have (I constantly hope one of these “Mac-Uber-Alles” people will comment here, but so far, all I have gotten are the reasonable people) toward everything else. This colors my perception of Apple and raises my expectations; if they are really so much better than Microsoft with security and usability (as the rabid Mac hordes claim, ignoring the facts that Windows’ security problems are multi-faceted, and Apple’s control of the hardware OS X runs on is important to its stability), why the problems?

Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.

Radio.weblogs.com[Radio.weblogs.com] Ken Bereskin's Radio Weblog: To accomplish this, Safari works in concert with "Internet-Enabled Disk Image" technology introduced in Mac OS X v10.2.3. An internet-enabled disk image is one that can clean up after it is downloaded. For example, if you have a Mac OS X application packaged as a single icon, stored in one of these disk images, all you need to do is download it in Safari and the image will be downloaded, decompressed, and the application package will be copied out of the disk image and placed in your default download folder (usually your desktop).

Apple.comhttp://www.apple.com [Apple.com] Apple Announces Mac OS X Server “Tiger”: CUPERTINO, California—April 12, 2005—Apple® today announced that Mac OS® X Server version 10.4 “Tiger” will be available on Friday, April 29, at the same time as the Mac OS X version 10.4 “Tiger” desktop version. The next major release of Apple’s award-winning, UNIX-based server operating system, Tiger Server integrates over 100 leading open source projects and standards-based software applications with easy-to-use management tools that make it easy to deploy for Mac®, Windows and Linux clients. Tiger Server has over 200 new features including native support for 64-bit applications, ideal for high performance computing; iChat Server to deploy secure instant messaging within an organization; Weblog Server that makes it simple to publish and share weblogs (blogs); and Xgrid™ to make it easy to turn a group of Macs into a virtual supercomputer. 

[Whiterabbits.com] Mac Net Journal: Although I may be jinxing myself by saying so, it appears that upgrading my 12-inch PowerBook G4 to Tiger tonight has come off without a hitch. My applications continue to work - after downloading an update here and there. The biggest surpise - it seems that the fan is running a little less than under Panther, and for some reason I am seeing much better AirPort reception - a full four bars while I work in the living room compared to the three bars I have always seen since I started using this PowerBook more than two years ago.

I’ve been struggling to find the time to write posts, and so rather than watch this weblog die a slow death, I’ve decided to knock it on the head.
