Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.7 Released

ByMike Moffit

This morning I walked into work and saw I had the Software Update screen up. I thought it said I needed to update my PowerBook to 10.3.9 (quick glance, don’t ask! I am still waking up.) but then I realized it was to Tiger 10.4.7!

– The 10.4.7 Update is recommended for all users and includes general operating system fixes, as well as specific fixes for the following applications and technologies.

It includes fixes for:
– preventing AFP deadlocks and dropped connections
– saving Adobe and Quark documents to AFP mounted volumes
– Bluetooth file transfers, pairing and connecting to a Bluetooth mouse, and syncing to mobile phones
– audio playback in QuickTime, iTunes, Final Cut Pro, and Soundtrack Pro applications
– ensuring icons are spaced correctly when viewed on desktop
– determining the space required to burn folders
– iChat audio and video connectivity, creating chat rooms when using AIM
– importing files into Keynote 3
– PDF workflows when using iCal and iPhoto
– reliable use of Automator actions within workflows
– importing and removing fonts in Font Book
– syncing addresses, bookmarks, calendar events and files to .Mac

Update: It looks like Apple also added the abilty for the 15” MacBook Pros to use the 2-finger right click in this update.

  • Google + Nest = Nest+?

    You may have heard that yesterday, Google acquired “*Nest,*”:https://nest.com the company most known for its smarter, simpler thermostat design. Reactions to the sale have been largely negative, at least according to “*fans of Nest on Facebook.*”:https://www.facebook.com/nest/posts/10152167824360681 What would this mean for your privacy? For device support (especially non-Google devices such as iPhone)? ARE WE ALL GOING TO BE WATCHED IN OUR HOMES?

    I’ve been intrigued by Nest’s thermostat design since it was developed by Nest Labs in 2011, and still believe that it has set a standard for innovation and what it means to have a “connected home” — a term that has proven to be highly sought after in the past few years. I mean, you can leave the over-the-top “smart” tech products at CES (except for the WeMo-enabled “*Belkin Crock-Pot*”:http://www.macrumors.com/2014/01/07/belkin-slow-cooker/ … I think I’d love that guy), but Nest makes a lot of sense for the average home.

    Recently, Nest Labs introduced a smarter “*smoke and carbon monoxide detector,*”:https://nest.com/smoke-co-alarm/life-with-nest-protect/ taking on another mundane household staple that they determined significant improvement (for the annoyance factor alone). That brings the total number of products to two. Two. For which Google paid 3.2 billion! Obviously, they were viewed as game-changers.

    So, what do you think Google plans to do with Nest? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
