Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.6.5 Build 10H555 to Developers
Apple continues to list no documented known issues with the update, and asks developers to focus their testing on 3D Graphics, Printing, QuickTime, Time Machine, and USB Devices.
Mac OS X 10.6.4 was released in mid-June, and the first developer version of Mac OS X 10.6.5 was seeded in mid-August. With two months of developer testing and refinement under its belt and a continued lack of documented issues remaining in recent builds, Mac OS X 10.6.5 may be nearing a public release. Apple's development schedule is unpredictable, however, and it is consequently difficult to say with any degree of certainty when such a release might occur.
Apple of course appears set to begin discussing the Mac OS X 10.7, the company's next major update to its Mac operating system, at a media event scheduled for next Wednesday. A public launch of Mac OS X 10.7 is, however, likely quite some time in the future.

Persistence... OSX is the persistent pursuit excellence...
Here is an interesting place to continue the effort... Mail/preferences/rules
What should be a simple fix...
When 25 or more rules are entered the Rules window will extend off the bottom of the screen taking the control buttons out of view... (return key will active Accept which closes the unruly window)
This problem has been verified repeatedly by Apple Geniuses, Apple phone techs and many of you readers since OSX 10.4 release date.
Persistence will penetrate Apple's consciousness to get this nuisance fixed.

All I want is the improved graphics drivers.
Edit: It would also be nice to get some alternate account support in iChat (for Skype and such).

"I wish FaceTime in iChat would be one of the updates."
I'm so far from being a lawyer it isn't funny, BAM . . . but can Apple legally add such a sweeping new feature to an existing product (for "free") without running afoul of Sarbanes-Oxley?

Hurry up, need Safari to feel snappier.
I need Safari not to crash all the f*&#$%^& time, keep getting the spinning beachball ever so often in the last few weeks.

I wonder if there's going to really be an improvement in 3D performance, I seem to remember someone saying that it was just the same drivers as from the Snow Leopard Graphics Update.
