And for me too. I hate flash video sites.That's what any Flash based video site has *always* been like for me

Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.6.1

Screensaver authors need to fix their applications to work with the 64 bit control panel for screen savers. There's nothing Apple can do about it.
seems like the update has brought some new bugs...
...can someone confirm not being able to view pictures in mail reviewing sent / or received messages. composed messages are showing the pictures via export from iPhoto and video clips seem to work ok for me too.
...yikes now I'm in trouble. No time to re-install everything.
Nope, mine works fine, do you have mail plugins installed?
Mine is a retarded 9.8MBs, but I've been told that it depends on what type of configuration you've picked during the installer. I've picked a few things here and there and deselected some others. So... it might be that.
Maybe we've already got what they need, it's just a minor update to something.
Probably the SMALLEST update ever. But then it has to be serious since they sacrificed a full number on the update. O_O
I really don't quite understand where all the hate is coming from. I've got 10.6 running on several machines and they are all working great. Some of you need to realize that it's not Apple's responsibility to make sure every peripheral and 3rd party application in the world work with their OS. It's not their fault if developers and printer makers are lazy bastards that don't update their software.
I installed the 10.6.1 update (only 9MB on my 2009 iMac so I'm guessing no new video card drivers) and notice Safari launches almost instantly now. VMWare Fusion is hella fast too, cut the start time to launch Windows 7 desktop by at least a minute.
I haven't had any bugs that I've noticed, but I guess I'm not a 'power user'.

The problem there lies with 64-bit Safari. If you open Safari in 32-bit mode the flash cpu usage goes down considerably. You just have to wait until Adobe gets off their lazy asses and actually makes a usable version of flash for 64-bit Safari. Or OSX in general for that matter.
I think if we did comparisons we would find that the difference in update size has to do with something like video card drivers, not the system configuration choices at install time.
Great! It repaired my horrid DVD player problem. All is good there.
Trying out my PS from CS3 to see if that problem of saving is working better now. It seems to be better already... time will tell. Vanilla 6 was absolutely crap!!

So it was only 9.8 on my June MBP. It also disabled Candybar so it doesn't work now! Anyone else have this problem?
FTR as far as I know Apple *recommends* doing an upgrade install with SL, and it's definitely the method I'd try first. why cause yourself extra trouble with re-installing all your apps and setting on an OS that has been designed to be installed as an update?
Surprised people just come straight out and say "clean install" without considering that SL has been designed with upgrade installs in mind. Makes me even wonder if they tried it before formatting their HDs and making a ton of extra work for themselves....
Hrmm, another random shot in the dark -
Do those people with the 75mb install all have the Developer tools installed? I'm thinking perhaps Apple added some extra support for iPhone Os 3.1 to the dev tools or something?
Edit: ahh, I just saw a post saying there's new gfx drivers in the package. This is prob it.

I feel the same way! I want all that plus a lava lamp and a puppy!
Or im going to get a pc and a zune!
Well I guess Tiger isn't quite dead yet. Seeing how quite this 10.6.1 release was, I guess it's still possible for Leopard to get 10.5.9 with the next 10.6.2 since Tiger got 10.4.11 when Leopard got 10.5.1.
Can anyone report if the update fixed the overactive fan/heating issue when video chatting in iChat or playing flash video? (when using the last point releases in leopard, I didn't have the fans amp up much at all). It would really suck if this is perminent in SL because of GPU usage.
Digidesign are super fussy like that. I'd probably wait til they officially support 10.6. Can't offer you any 1st hand experiences though I'm afraid.
It's that step 3 that seems ripe for user error to me.
That would be my game plan, if and when I upgrade.
System crashes/hangs, applications suddenly terminating, noticeable wifi dropouts, long pauses or lags in system operation, that kind of thing.
I sympathize but hey, we've been over the same ground about a dozen times since June '08, when the first 10.6 developer release showed up as Intel-only. At this point everyone has known for a long time that Apple has made this decision for better or worse, right or wrong, inconvenient for loyal customers or not. And I'm still stretching my PM G4 out as long as I can, currently running Leopard, but it's time to start moving into the next phase ...
Yeah, more painful for G5 owners, I agree. But it's not going to change.
Well, there was a known problem with the flash version that 10.6.0 shipped with, so let's hope the update fixes that problem.
Meh, it's the internet... and yes, that's life... time to buy does make a difference and so does knowing when it's time to upgrade. Tech isn't gonna stop changing and it's not with it to any corp to support antiquated/dead end tech. I too cling too PPC in the depths of my heart... but I clung to 68k too... it's just a non issue when it comes down to it... not worth complaining. Upgrade once per year or every 6 mo. Saves you from purchasing
care and if your smart and patient with selling your machine... it costs less in the long run.I spend $400 a year on new computers and I buy a new laptop every 6 mo.
If I waited and saved that money over 3 years I would only have $1200... not enough to replace the machine that I bought in the first place for $2700
There is my upgrade vs. 3 year antique rant.
40,000 MSofties!!!
Have just flooded the streets in Seattle after the yearly Ballmer Presentation (showed Zune sales going straight up) and are now rushing home......TO INSTALL 10.6.1.
Sad but true.......MS is just too "90's".
Ballmer revealed that Gates was so embarassed by the Seinfeld ads that he couldn't face the troops again and quit.
Now back to the real news.....time to buy SL and take the plunge.

I know I'm going to get slammed for this post by the INTEL masses again (and there won't be any PowerPC people here to defend me because they've stopped reading about Snow Leopard mostly), but so be it.
....
excellent observations snipped...
This is a very poor way to treat your loyal hardware customers Apple IMHO.
Yep.. Apple truly sells toys now, not computers. Once they have your money, you're useless.
It's Stockholm Syndrome.

Actually yes. For heavy computer users, there is a definite performance advantage of running a 64-bit kernel over a 32-bit kernel even when running 32-bit software. It appears to be most prevalent in I/O intensive operations where the OS itself is faster. Presumably, Mac Pro users, especially those importing audio/video/photos would most benefit from the 64-bit kernel so it's disappointing that 65nm Woodcrest and Clovertown Mac Pros can't enable the 64-bit kernel.
