I call fake on that. There has been numerous claims that 10a435 was the final build as well. Nothing but fakes

The Version that Ships with the MacMini will be a specific build for the Mini. I guess there will be a different build number for each model.

Look here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159 There are loads of different build numvers for the same os version.

You are correct there, and I have heard that 10a435 is actually going to be 10.6.1

I have ran Windows 7 64 bit under BootCamp from the first build made available to developers after WWDC and never had a problem with it. The 3.0 drivers work very well.

That's good to know.

Must be something I did wrong on my end. Thanks. ;)

That, IMO, would be VERY surprising.

They're not at 10.6.1 yet, they might have just started shipping 10.6 and they have no idea how many builds it will take until it becomes a 10.6.1

Yeah. I'd be very surprised if they managed to get to a minor release in so few builds.

Why? As it happened before. From what I recall there were rumors about the Leopard GM not being the GM and that a newer build leaked. As it turned out the newer build was actually the first beta of the v10.5.1 update.

same, and i remember my MBP had the big 64Bit thing plasterd all over it, but still have the 32bit memory limitation and 32 bit EFI. got it from Apple direct. because of that and refusing to fix my iPod touch w/applecare that dies in 30 min. refusing to buy another apple branded thing again.

feels like Obi-Wan and Yoda concerning Truth from certain points of view

i am still kinda peeved at the fact my macbook won't run the OS in 64 bit mode even though i have 64 bit CPU...
Yea, that's what I was thinking. And I did check: Finder does have the option just like all the other 64-bit apps in Snow Leopard. We'll just have to see if it helps .Neo any.

Can't get the Finder to start in 32-bit mode even when ticking the checkbox. According to Activity Monitor the Finder still runs in 64-bit mode. :/

Could it be incompatible with 64bit Safari/FF? You should be able to change the preferences from what I understand (Haven't touched Snow Leopard yet), to start Safari in 32bit mode.

Also, can try to see if this is the case and boot into 32-bit mode to see if it works using the tool found here. It says for 10.5/10.6 but surely 10.6 at this point. :)

Even if you kill it and restart it?

Even if you reboot?

Yeah, maybe it can be a beta of 10.6.1, but it cannot be 10.6.1, it would be just 3 builds away from the official release and it'd be released like ... before the official product ships. I would accept that a security fix is out before the product is out, but a 10.6.x version, never.

Spanish site Applesfera reports [Google translation] that a Tumblr/Twitter user by the name of pedro10 has received a retail copy of Mac OS X Snow Leopard in advance of Friday's official launch.

After installing Snow Leopard, pedro10 reports that the retail disc does in fact contain Build 10A432, which had been rumored to be the "Golden Master" version sent to manufacturing for retail distribution. Some unconfirmed reports in recent days had suggested that a different build might have been the shipping version of Snow Leopard, but this appears to not be the case.

that doesn't mean that there couldn't be an update waiting for release day and they just used 10a432 for GM as to make sure they didn't miss the release date

Incase anyone would like some help with 64bit or 32bit modes here is a neat free little app i found

There will be some updates, but I don't think a "build update" would be one of them. Any time the OS gets a build update, it always comes with a 10.6.1 or whatever update, which probably shouldn't happen on the first day.

If I remember correctly, Leopard was updated to 10.5.1 within a few weeks of release. Any bugs discovered over the past month while 432 has been floating around, will most likely be addressed in a 10.6.1 upgrade before Thanksgiving.

Also, I suspect Apple made a decision to not enable the 64bit kernel for a reason and will make that change in a 10.6.x release in the near future. While many will argue back and forth about releasing this early (just look at the past 80 pages), they did it for a reason. :p

  • 10.5.0 9A581 26 October 2007
  • 10.5.1 9B18 15 November 2007

So about 3 weeks, hopefully its quicker than that :p

The 64-bit kernel isn't buggy. If it was, it wouldn't be default on Xserves. That'd be a very bad idea.

No, the reason is that the 64-bit kernel can't load 32-bit kernel extensions, which a few third party vendors use (mouse drivers, webcams, etc). They'll wait quite a while before flipping the switch (if they ever do).

Right, all I was getting at was, Apple did it for a reason, not as an oversight. They will switch all the kernels to 64 when they feel it will be beneficial to the avg. user.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
