Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.5.6 (9G21) to Developers
Apple has started developer seeding and testing of the next update to their Mac OS X operating system. Mac OS X 10.5.6 (9G21) was seeded to developers this morning and offers the usual laundry list of bug fixes and improvements across a variety of services.
Trackpad Preferences on new MacBook Pro (10.5.5)
The new update appears to move notebook trackpad preferences into its own preference pane in the control panel, just like on new laptops. However, the update does not bring the newly-introduced 4-finger multi-touch gestures to existing Apple multi-touch laptops.
There are also no hints or indications of Blu-ray support. While there were some early rumors that 10.5.6 might incorporate Blu-Ray support, recent comments by Apple executives indicate support is not coming soon.

I heard a rumor that Blu-ray is already incorporated. It's just a big secret to frustrate the tech-lusties.

Why are the bugs that Apple fixes seem to be the ones that never affect me, yet the ones the one they leave untouched do?

I'd be nice to give us with "old technology" a bit of multi touch!
Ah well, still good to see that apple looks after their customers with updates.

I'm more interested in hardware acceleration and SLI support as previously rumored. New MacBook Pro owners, what say you?

I just want to know where the new 10.6 seed is. Rumours expected it weeks ago.

I hear that Apple is in a pissing match with the blu-ray consortium about licensing fees.

I noticed the new Trackpad preference pane in store today. 10.5.5 isn't that old yet but I welcome a new version that will support the just released models as well for the rest of us.
Where does one find the above-mentioned laundry list of bug fixes?
You're going to need to be a developer for that.[ Read All Comments ]
