What?!!! ANOTHER beta? That's exactly what I DID NOT WANT to happen. This has to be the LAST beta before public release. Maybe I could afford to wait one more week, but I CANNOT WAIT two more weeks.

:mad:
What precisely will happen if it takes them more than two weeks?

I have forgotten what 10.8.3 was even supposed to fix.

I'm hoping this won't wipe out my jailbroken Mac.

Were it up to me, these kinds of issues would be relegated to the 10.8.4 pile of crap nobody cares about. That said, these kind of useless "eye-candy" issues will probably move to the top of the list since OSX is now all about flash, glitter and nauseating animations that serve no purpose.

Luckily it is not up to you.
