iCal: Better syncing with the iPhone - different categories for iPhone as well - would be nice.

iChat: MSN protocol would be nice. ( video conferencing with msn contacts )

I don't know if we're allowed to make suggestions here but those are 2 things which bother me.

Thanks for the notes Cara.

iCal: Better syncing with the iPhone - different categories for iPhone as well - would be nice.

iChat: MSN protocol would be nice. ( video conferencing with msn contacts )

Support for different calendars on the iPhone would be on my list, aswell :)

Better support for syncing with Google Contacts. Some of my contacts come up with no internal info (name yes, but no email or anything) in GMail

and MSN protocol on iChat... i don't see this happening. they have to license it from Microsoft and i don't see Apple NEEDING that protocol for anything.

MSN Supprt on Ichat would be awesome, but would render Adium and other clients obsolete in a single stroke.

Adium is highly customisable where as iChat isn't. Not as much. I'd still use Adium for all my chat needs but I'd use iChat for video conferencing as I sometimes need to.

Point taken, I must admit for just chilling out online talking to friends though many users I feel would just use ichat and have a single client to do everything rather then two.

Why would Apple need a license to use the MSN protocol? There are loads of IM apps out there that connect to the MSN/Live network and none of them are licensed.

if you looked at the MSN protocol, you'd know that it has a "client challenge" negotiation to make sure that the client is approved. if you don't reply with a proper answer, then the server kicks you out.

current 3rd party MSN clients use the challenge answer of an approved 3rd party client (in other words, a leaked code). i HIGHLY doubt that Microsoft would let Apple get away with using that, as well after all, 3rd parties don't make a profit out of it... Apple would.

I don't know this, so this is what I'm thinking, I could be completely wrong, but... most third party IM apps are free, iChat only comes with OS X and Apple is making money off of that. So Microsoft could be allowing free apps to use the MSN protocol for free while Apple has to pay to use it because their product isn't free.

Just my thoughts, but I could be entirely wrong on that though.

If that's the case surely they could get around that with making it a downloadable extra for iChat.

Can't see it making an x.x.x release. More of an x.x thing.

Man - they're really not letting up on these Leopard updates are they! Incredible!

Thanks Apple! :)

Hate to start up another debate here, but someone brought up a good point on another board... It seems that when Apple releases updates, they are well received. Yet, when Microsoft does the same thing, it's met with boos. "Ugh... more updates!" or something to that effect.

The point they were making was that Apple makes such a big deal about how their OS is so bulletproof and "light-years ahead," yet it seems to require just as many updates as Vista does.

Typically speaking Apple updates make improvements as well as bug fixes to features and are not required to insure system security. If you are running 1 or 2 .x releases back you are still normally fine on security, however if you fail to apply Microsoft's patch tuesday critical you can find your system compromised in a major way. Add that to the fact that Apple releases aren't every week and you can start to get a feel for why Apple patches are better received.

Cara, do you know if there are fixes to Spaces scheduled?

+1, Spaces is horrible now, when I change space it dosnt automatically move to the active window on that space. Annoying when I double click a movie in Finder, it switches to VLC on Space 3, then somebody comes in 10 minutes later so I press the spacebar to pause it but because Finder is still active I just get a quicklook Window. Sure i'll get used to it, but i'd rather there wasnt any massive functionality change like it

Did you have something specific in mind? At this build they aren't but I can gladly pass something up.

Some glitches specially with the Adobe CS3 suite. Some toolbars are invisible when you change from space to space. Most of them were fixed with 10.5.3 but sometimes the bug attacks again.

There are some more Adobe fixes in 10.5.4. :)

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
