Mac OS X 10.6.3 Build 10D573 Seeded to Developers

Yes, there are a lot of people here who don't value patience.

Presumably, they will walk through life being constantly disappointed because the things they feel they are entitled to aren't waiting for them on their doorsteps first thing in the morning.

Sad, really.

Or perhaps, just perhaps, people have issues with 10.6.2 like video driver bugs that they are hoping to see fixed in 10.6.3 since many developers are reporting more stable video results in the seeds. But by all means, paint everyone with the same broad brush...

...and also, Intel being constrained on the bleeding edge chips Apple needs, and is rightly allowed early access to. Apple needs more than they have obviously.

Interesting use of "bleeding edge" and "early access", since Best Buy shows

  • 10 Core i7 laptops - 6 of them shipping next day or 2-5 days
  • 21 Core i5 laptops - 7 of them shipping next day or 2-5 days
  • 29 Core i3 laptops - 26 of them shipping next day or 2-5 days

Go back and read my post carefully. I specifically wrote "lots of people" not "everyone".

One thing I hope this 10.6.3 update will do is improve reading comprehension of some MacRumors forum commenters.

But by no means do I want to paint everyone with that same broad brush...
 
Oh wow. So we'll soon get support for OpenGL 3.0, which was already released in July 2008 (!) and Windows already supports since Vista, even though most Windows apps won't use it and rely on DirectX instead. :eek:
 
Yes, yes, rush your goddamn software updates. Do a sloppy job in the name of just having more updates.

Some of us feel appreciative, perhaps even entitled to those sort of shoddy engineering practices.

Forget QA. If it compiles, ship it.

Yeah, that's the ticket. GIGO, baby, all the way.

And for the 95% of all the whiners on here, when they finally update it, won't notice a damn thing different.

Many of them will actually find new things to complain about.

I've noticed that the volume of whiners (both amplitude and frequency) here has increased over time, so this is one plausible explanation for the change.

Some of these people would probably be happier if they took a break from Mac rumor sites. Some will never be happy; they have set unrealistic expectations of the world (including Apple Inc.) and these people will probably enjoy a lifetime of disappointments.

As for AAPL stockholders, there is little to whine about. The stock closed at $229.37 after briefly trading above $230 during the day. I'd still like to see the stock split, just to pump up the volume from retail investors. The lack of a stock split is my main beef with Apple at this time. I'm so ungrateful. ;)

Maybe, just maybe yes. Can't say I've ever had any of theses so called issues with driver 'bugs' personally though.

Who is more qualified to judge when the update is ready for release - Apple themselves or a few impatient anonymous posters?

It hasn't been released for one reason only - it isn't ready ;)

:D
 
Optimus support?

Does this version support Optimus yet?

I'd like the MacBook Pro 2010 to support Optimus because Intel killed the NVIDIA chipset.

which giant memory leak is this?
Click to expand...
Probably the leak in some forum commenters' frontal lobes. You know, the section that governs logic, critical analysis, patience, the understanding of the economics of consumer electronics manufacturing. Stuff like that.

Is this going to be the last update to OSX?
Click to expand...
Doubtful.

There is probably another team already working on 10.6.4 plus another group working on 10.7.

It is highly unlikely that we are witnessing the end of software development of OS X. As a matter of fact, what would lead you to believe it?
 
I know exactly why 10.6.3 is taking so long:

Apple is going to release a new version of Time Machine which, instead of just going back through your files, actually brings you back in time.
 
Anyone know if the problem with the desktop background changing after connecting to an external monitor is fixed?

Is the problem where after coming back from sleep or coming back from putting display to sleep and trackpad is non responsive fixed?

Is Safari snappier?;)

These are the only major problems that annoy me.


Anybody know?

Really? I think there's only a handful of people working on OSX altogether. I think everyone is working on iphone OS.

There's something going on at Apple. Lack of new hardware and stagnating OSX development...something's up.

They dropped computer from their name for a reason.
