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. :)

    • The better these AI models get, the more this is going to happen. It's gonna turn into government versus government in regards to using proprietary and unavailable security research models to basically find flaws and vulnerabilities in other governments or companies systems. It's basically turning into a cybersecurity arms race. This is actually a good thing. The better AI gets, the more restricted and expensive it's going to become, making it far less mainstream. This is good 👍
    • Crazy. The government fired everyone who was capable of actually understanding this. More security theater. Just checked it is gone from Claude.
    • bring trump to the board, then apple will have some innovation to talk about

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm
