You know that bottling off stage I was talking about, Mitch?

And we know what the bottles are full of, Gary.

I tried shades on my other iMac, it works well but mucks up the colour calibration I found.

That's not normally a great concern to me, but the Mac is sited in a position where ambient light can vary quite a lot over the day. So ease of changing the brightness takes precedence!

Thats annoying, like having your TV overwelmed by light in the day, if you game thats really a pain, so you have to keep adjusting the brightness, the sensors on TV's tend to be a pain as they dim to much at night so I always turn them off.

Flash player 10.3.181.34 released.

Parallels 6 for Desktop v 6.0.12092 just released. Essential if you have upgraded to Mac OS X v 10.6.8. I spent this morning trying to resolve issues with 100% constant CPU, no menu bar and Safari 5 crashes. The problem appears to be Parallels 6 incompatibility with the precursor OS upgrade to Mac OS lion. Other programmes also have issues with 10.6.8 as reported in Apple Discussions. Not a good week for Apple coming after the Final Cut Pro X PR debacle.

[Gary]

Some peoples 10.6.8 issues seem machine related as well, I guess Apple concentrate like any manufacture on their own ends, how many times has MS service packs broken programs... As to Final Cut pro...never be the first to update a new program, that goes without saying for all manufacturers, I wont be in a hurry to update to Lion...

iMovie,iPhoto and Garageband updates available,which incidentally appeared on the App Store first.

[Steve]

iWeb and iDVD out as well , expensive month potentially for downloads. I was thinking that these releases were a prelude to OS X Lion release later this week,however Apple has only just asked for submissions to App Store for OS X Lion compatible software.There are two hardware updates this week I'd be surprised if they didn't come with Lion though.

I think they're more likely to come with SL and the free upgrade.

[Gary]

I'm holding off Lion for a while to see what happens to others, by all accounts its very stable but a few point updates never hurt. Also servers are going to groan under the weight on release day. Bleeding edge just is to painful these days.

Firefox 5.0.1 update for OS X Lion to stop severe crash bug just popped up and for a bug with ff and os x java update.

[Steve]

I seem to be running FF version 6

Just 5.0.1 here. 3.6 being phased out in August possibly for the people sticking with it thus far.
