Aperture 2

Apple have released Aperture 2, it be faster.

There be updates

A flurry of updates today:

Security Update 2008-001 - An update that includes us mortals still on 10.4

Mac OS X 10.5.2 - The one that's probably been most awaited. Yes, you can finally turn off that menubar transparency, what more do you want?

Leopard Graphics Update 1.0

iPlayer downloads for Mac 2008

BBC have announced (again) they'll bring a download version of the iPlayer for Mac by the end of 2008.

That nonsense over developing for every platform, ohh really there's only 3.

I wish they'd stop announcing and start delivering.

QuickTime 7.4.1

QuickTime 7.4.1 for Leopard, Tiger, Panther and Windows.

Fixes some stuff.

Software Updates

Check that Software Update and see what appears:

iPhoto Update 7.1.2

This update addresses issues when publishing photos to a .Mac Web Gallery, improves overall stability, and fixes a number of other minor issues.

ProKit 4.5

This update improves reliability for Apple's professional applications and is recommended for all users of Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Express, Aperture, Logic Studio and Logic Express.


Braille Display Update 1.0

Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard includes a powerful screen reading technology for the blind called VoiceOver that supports a variety of refreshable Braille displays. When you have a supported Braille display connected to your computer, VoiceOver automatically detects it and sends it information about what is displayed on the screen.

iPhone & iPod Touch get bigger

They get bigger in the US store at least, there's no mention of the new sizes on the UK store.

So, in the states for now you can pick up an iPhone in 8GB and now 16GB.

The iPod touch now comes in 16GB and 32GB.

I guess it's wait and see if and when they appear here.

The iPhone size still seems a little small, at least 32GB is more where it should be.
