There’s a lot of news out there, and try as we might, there are stories and articles that we don’t get around to covering. We’re pretty discerning about the news we choose to post, though, and pride ourselves on unique content and stories that we know will be of interest to our readers.
So, after last week’s debut, we’ve decided to include a new feature on our blog and in Kibbles & Bytes: a recap of all of the Apple and tech news found ‘round the web. This week, however, we’ll feature some feedback and will get back to the pressing news in next week’s issue (after all, we’ve got Valentine’s Day and looooove on the brain).
Reader Steve A. wrote to us regarding the two Apple updates featured in the article, mentioning that there were major issues for some users that we should have addressed. He writes,
“You mention two updates coming from Apple: AirPort Utility 6.0 and Mac OS 10.7.3. The one you don’t mention is the one that’s causing all sorts of folks big problems, including me. That one is the Security Update 2012-001 for Mac OS 10.6.8, which is actually part of the Lion update. This separate Snow Leopard update is causing Rosetta apps to crash upon opening, saving, or printing files. I have confirmed this myself on a Mac mini I have yet to upgrade to Lion, simply because the users of that machine still run PowerPC-era applications to get their work done. Having applied the update before the warnings started emerging, I must now admit that I jumped the gun on this one for none of the users of that machine can get their work done.”
He makes a great point! Hopefully, many of you didn’t experience the same, but if you’d like to read more about said issues, check out Tuesday’s edition of Tech Tails, where Glenn goes further in-depth.
