Makes sense, altho I doubt 10.4.3 will be the first public released Intel version.

very doubtfull as well, it's not a horrific code change that needs to be done as you can already hack OS X to run on x86 but chances are it's going to be big news when it's done.

God forbid you have a few files in your Trash on a restart. :no: :p

Fact is that something wrong is causing this and it should have been fixed 6 months after Tiger's release. And yeah it's annyoing.

So God/Apple should forbid it. Take a pick, I don't really care as long as the job gets done. Altho help directly from God would probably be more effective. ;)

Have you looked to see whats inside it? when they show up for me its from sending images back and forth from people over iChat.

The update hasn't introduced any new problems...it hasnt fixed all of them either though.

I read through the release notes as I was downloading (I had the 98MB updater) and was glad to see that a few problems I was having were listed on there.

I WASN'T happy to find that they still haven't cleared up the logging in from sleep issues. Sometimes I don't even get the password prompt, sometimes i get it two times before it lets me in...its kind of retarded ;)

Is anyone running FrontRow on 10.4.3? Does it work as it did before?

mine didnt work so i got rid of everything related to it, then just reinstalled the stuff, aka just the app, xkeys and the airclick mod and used a new modified script for 10.4.3 to launch and well last night i enjoyed laying in bed watching south park and controlling it all with my remote. good stuff, lol. DVD's still don't work though...

Same here, the booting time is longer.

The second "Mac OS X" bootscreen has become kinda pointless in 10.4.x  don't you guys think? More of an eye-candy thing than a requirement.

Considering it's just a movie of a progress bar now instead of a real progress bar, yes.

Actually, it's just giving you a graphical front-end to the startup of core system services like the Apache HTTPD and other UI/networking daemons. While it doesn't show you each individual process like it used to in 10.3, it's still doing the same thing.

In that case it isn't pointless. I was under the impression that is was just eye-candy in 10.4.

I wanted to know this for a very long time:

What does "Keep Item Visible" do when right clicking Safari's Address Bar?

586791569[/snapback]

When you make the Safari window small enough, horizontally, buttons start dissappearing to allow more important items in the bar to show. You can override this behavior by checking "Keep Item Visible."

The boot load bar has been changed. when you boot up it times how long it takes then edits a file, the next time you boot up it accesses that file and looks how long it took then makes the load bar appear the same amount of time. If your computer now boots faster then the last time it executes a terminal command to quickly end the loader.

it is absolutely useless.

You can even run the boot loader inside OS X without booting up and view the little "movie" or edit the file yourself and make the loader appear for a million years - bet that would be fun next time you boot up. The malicious uses of it are endless.

Precisely right. It is utterly pointless now, but I'm glad that I rarely see it, being one of those inclined to leave my Mac on for months on end (thank His Steveness for Sleep Mode).

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
