I wish..
They are seporate, but the question is: Should Messages and FaceTime be seporate Apps?
On Mobile it kind of makes sense to have them be seporate. Performance necessities, and the layout of the apps lend them to being seporate.
But on the desktop I feel like Messages and Facetime should be combined into the same application. It feels cumbersome, and can be confusing to many users to have them seporate. In this case (though not in Firefly) I am for unification.
My guess is that because FaceTime was originally going to be an open standard for any platforms to take advantage of, they wanted it to be separate for the brand awareness itself.
Who knows what's going to happen now given the patent issues in FaceTime.
Now they have pulled safari 6.1.2 for lion from their mac app store server.
The mountain lion one is still up though.
Unfortunately apple have not put this one on their website, so you will just have to wait till apple repost it on their server before the mac app store can see it.

Don't see this listed as a fix, but does this address the issue with external firewire drives not spinning down?

Hate to tell you this, but you may want to consider the following as your problem:

And I hope the thought of this is as chilling to everyone else as it is to me. Comcast is already too powerful, and the feds seem to be Hell bent on making them more so.
ridiculous commentary..
was thinking yesterday when viewing some of these ridiculous comments re how long it's taking, how critical people are, and how silly... CHILL.. go out and smell the flowers, play in the snow.. Apple will fix it. So it took a few days. Unless you work for Apple no one has an any idea what was involved in the time frame from discovery to the released update this AM.
28 years a Mac user-- first time this has happened! If you think you can do better with Windows, go back to windows.. You'll do a lot of waiting and worrying if your information was stolen, if you caught a virus..
Thanks Apple for getting this done. Instead of whining go to the test web site for go fail and see if your computer gets the all ok sign. Mind did.

yes, keeps crapping out for me too.. will wait until later when things calm down
I saw no mention of a fix for the SSL bug/majorfail in the list of changes in Software Update when I updated. Following the link to the update description doesn't show it either, but the link referenced in the OP in this thread does...

WTF is going on? Why are Apple seemingly selectively reporting/publicising this bug fix and aren't reporting it in their regular online change logs that you get to when navigating from the home page? Is this a case of trying to downplay the bad publicity they're getting?

Security fixes generally get reported separately and appear at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222 about a day or so after the update has been made available (to give some time for at least some people, if not a good number to update before the security issues are publicly listed--in quite a few cases the fixes are for things that haven't been publicly discovered/disclosed).
When the flaw started and when Apple learned of it is two different things.
Can you link to something that demonstrates when Apple learned of the flaw in iOS, and when they learned of it in Mavericks?
We know the flaw started with iOS 6 and with Mavericks, but when did Apple learn of it?
I'm not saying you are wrong, I really don't know.

On a separate note -- my App Store app is broke. The top buttons like "Top Charts", etc is greyed out. I know it is connected to the servers, but you can't click on any of these.

It works as usual for me.Anyone else having problems with Spotify application? Mine starts and closes right away
If your tools of the trade are that critical you'll be paying Apple for immediate hotfix support with a short SLA then. Otherwise, belt up.
Yeah, I think that would more than likely be your Internet connection's fault (or somewhere in-between you and those places). Netflix and even Skype are designed to "snap back" to SD if your connection can't maintain the speed required. Otherwise, it would go blocky and/or stutter or even just pause instead. In short, I think you're barking up the wrong tree. My Netflix on AppleTV stays in HD just fine as does Netflix on both.
Personally, I like Mission Control (didn't think I would at first). It does two functions in one mouse hot spot (i.e. spaces + expose all in one). It's a nice time saver, IMO. Spaces by itself has a bit less clutter, but then you'd have to activate expose separately requiring either a key press, hot spot or gesture). I'm not against them offering preference OPTIONS to make it behave differently, though. One person's garbage is another person's treasure, etc.

Looks like Apple will have to sneak in another backdoor for the NSA, although more than likely their are a few more exploits we don't know about.
Actually it does seem to work better, before you could hardly zoom in or out using the 2 fingers 'scroll', seems to be working again in FireFox.
But another issue not fixed is the loss of scroll if you swipe to go back a page in FireFox. You have to quite FF then go into the Trackpad settings and un-tick the 'swipe between pages' function.
Seriously this is still happening for such a basic function, either FireFox or Mavericks is at fault here.
Hope they are working on retina UI lag too.
Initial impressions are that the Launchpad scrolling bug is fixed and the super annoying Preview scrolling bug where it pulled way beyond the start and end of a document is also fixed.
As is usual the 10.x.2 update is where you can feel comfortable upgrading from a previous major version of OS X. 10.x.0 and 10.x.1 versions are always for early adopters and beta testers.
I'd say Mountain Lion and even stubborn Lion users can feel pretty safe to upgrade now.
