“With Apple’s recent introduction of the fast and extremely powerful Power Mac® G5, 39% of visual effects and dynamic media studios and 26% of broadcast stations and cable systems in the United States now use Mac as their primary system for production/editing workstations” That’s awesome!
Any news about 64 bit migration? They should try to beat MS to it! Its going to be a big deal from a marketing perspective as well as an interesting technical improvement especially when it comes to databasees.
Ed, you took the words outta my mouth
Why is this news?
that thinksecret is, far far far more often then macosrumors.com, accurate. Their accuracy rating is tremendously higher.
rumors boring.
Why is this news?
For the same reason that those terrible articles that claim Linux is “good enough for me” are considered news.
An hour after it was announced here I got an email that it was released and available. Message had to be relayed, of course.
Haven’t bothered. I have to have my work machine useable, so I can’t confirm/deny what has changed.
Apple stop selling a crippled OS. Give users the full power of lunix, give us the C>prompt cli and whine and lower your prices then we’ll talk about buying your computers!
i hope that was some kind of lame attempt at a troll.
Do we really have to hear about every damn build of the Mac OS? THIS IS NOT NEWS. Sheez.
Imagine that… a website called OSNews talking about a new build of an OS. I personally like to read comments about builds because I want to avoid doing an upgrade that may give me potential problems.
listen Sooyoung and others. this is news for apple folk who own apple computers. so stop being a bitch and complaining about what others think is news or not. if you don’t like the story, why waste your time reading it, and then waste your time commenting on it???
Ya, isn’t hard to believe? A site called OSnews reporting on a big update to 2003’s OS of the year. WTF were they thinking.
Please take your nonsense elsewhere. I, like many others, look forward to any and all OSX news.
Isn’t this a news site about Operating systems? Don’t we see things abot “new release candidate for Fedora” or even for Opera? If MS was releasing a new WinXP service pack, wouldn’t you expect to read some notice of it here?
For Mac OS, a x.x.1 update isn’t HUGE, but sometimes contains significant fixes, closer to a x.1 update for a lot of other OSes. Mac OS X is a respectable OS, and the OSX userbase is growing. Get used to hearing about it.
First off… I own a Mac and my job is troubleshooting and fixing Macs, but really… who gives a damn about a developers SEED?!!! I will agree that a points update should be news (but not major news) but a freaking SEED?
Give me a break…
if you don’t want to hear about it- don’t read it. It’s quite simple
So please refain from wasting valuable comment space which could otherwise be used for constructive discussion.
This isn’t even a point release. If you read the Thing Secret article, it’s clear that the build is nowhere near release quality. When was the last time you read about a bunch of random people testing the next release of, like, CUPS or Fluxbox? That’s what this is — a build that’s being tested. By a bunch of random people.
I read the article because I’m a Mac user and developer. And if it isn’t newsworthy to me, then I don’t know who would find this of interest.
I find it of interest, I want to know how OpenGL is coming along, and of use; I want to know if the full-screen colour bug has been fixed. It may surprise you, but you’re not the only developer that exists and your opinion isn’t definitive.
No-one complains when information about Windows service pack betas are posted, and that’s exactly what this is but for Mac.
