I could be seeing things but my dock looks different to me. It seems like the icons have slid back on the dock surface and the blue dots look larger and easier to see. I dunno, maybe I'm crazy.
You could be right about the blue dots looking bigger under the icons. I didn't notice it earlier, but they do look a bit bigger now that you've mentioned it.

It amazes me that some people would rather ask than READ.
The thread's right here man .... just read some of it.
Did anyone see the Mac OS X Leopard Intro?
After the 190 MB update on my early 2008 iMac, Setup Assistant launched, played the mac os x leopard introduction video and then asked me for my apple id. did anyone else experience this? Why did this happen?

Is it static or sparkly? We just had a problem like this on a laptop. The Apple store first thought it was the logic board. We changed that but the problem persisted (though it improved). They next tested different memory and the problem went away. We are currently just living with it as it got a lot better.
What we see (now mostly when the machine first wakes up) is that random bits are flipped on both the laptop and the external monitor. You can make them go away by causing a screen refresh so it is not stuck pixels in the display.
If you have some third party memory you might try pulling that temporarily and seeing if that improves things.
I have the time. And how often does point releases come out? Every 3-6 months? I just like having a fresh slate every semester
I have teh same issue. See all my replies prior for my thoughts - I think it's a partially downloaded update masquerading as a full.
So, i'm quite worried now and not sure what to do. I don't have backups (I knowI know, I'm an IT guy and should know better, but In just don't so don't jump on me there), I'm just curious as to what YOU would do, I'm still going to wait through lunch, but my confidence is waning and I feel a little sick to my stomach.

Well, since you READ the thread, I'll reply.
I have no idea why this happened, but its not a big deal is it?

it is not a big deal but i was just wondering why it only happened to me. is it normal to see stuff like his after major updates?
Since your computer HASN'T restarted, and I had the same thing, I killed it by power switch (NOT RECOMMENDED), and notice that the pkg file downloaded by software update (in /Library/updates) was only 20 or 30 MB big (depending on the downlaod - I tried twice already), not the 190 MB it was supposed to be.
IF you choose to kill it (don't blame me), then check in there to see if you have a partial download.
That's what I love about Time Machine...unless I've made any important changes recently, I don't have to backup before an update, because I'll already HAVE a backup from within the last hour!
Personally, I don't understand why people modify TM to not back up so often. Hourly backups usually tend to not be too big, and I never see any performance hits while it's running. I guess maybe if you're backing up wirelessly, when backups might take longer. But at the same time, the less often you back up, the bigger the backups are gonna need to be when you do. I dunno, I just prefer it the way it is.
