Beware the Comcast TiVo
Comcast is finally getting around to rolling out their perpetually-delayed version of the TiVo. The unit is actually a firmware-modified Motorola HD DVR. The product was announced at CES last year, and hit delay, after delay, after delay. But, Comcast appears to be ready to offer a “significant rollout” of a few markets in time [...]
Security Update 2007-009 Re-released
Apple today pushed out Security Update 2007-009… again. Version 1.1 apparently fixes some issues with the initial release. Apple won’t say what, but you should re-download and re-update, even if you have installed the original update. Tune-Up Updated
Introducing the Mac OS Tune-Up
Today, I’ve rolled out the Mac OS Tune-Up, which is a collection of every Mac OS Software Update, as well as updates for software bundled for Mac, such as iLife. The goal of the tune-up is to allow you to copy all the available Mac OS software updates to a flash drive, DVD, or even [...]
QuickTime 7.3.1 & GarageBand 4.1.1 Are Out
Apple Software Update now lists QuickTime 7.3.1 and GarageBand 4.1.1. Looks like the QuickTime update fixes that nasty RTSP exploit that was demonstrated on Second Life. Update away! QuickTime 7.3.1 QuickTime 7.3.1 addresses security issues. This update is recommended for all QuickTime 7 users. For detailed information on this update, please visit this website: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61798 [...]
HP AiO 4.0.1 Drivers on Apple Software Update
For some weird reason, Leopard ships with HP AiO 4.0, while HP AiO 4.0.1 has been available since October. Even weirder, some Leopard systems pick up the update when running Apple Software Update, while some don’t. And, that’s even taking into account an HP all-in-one printer added to the systems. Finally, weirdest, Apple doesn’t offer [...]
My Offer to Micromat
Last time on the latest Micromat saga, I wrote about how Micromat refuses… yet again, to offer a downloadable update option for TechTool Pro 4. After the “one time” Intel upgrade (version 4.5), which cost $25, Micromat is wanting users to pay another $25 for a DVD update that will keep TechTool Pro 4 working [...]
Codec Day… DivX for Windows 6.8
Seems to be a codec-filled day… First Xbox 360 adds DivX, then Adobe Flash adds H.264… now DivX has updated DivX for Windows to version 6.8. Run the Check for Updates… app in the DivX menu to grab it if you’ve already installed.
Xbox Update & Crash
So, I updated at 2:30 AM (hey, I was up… no, I don’t stay up for Xbox Live updates). And, sure enough, my tester bones were ready to ask the question “how fast can Christopher crash the new Xbox update?” And the answer? Well, considering there’s a blog post… it shouldn’t surprise you that it [...]
Privacy Alert: Xbox 360 Update Reveals Friends
One thing that irks me, is when social networking features change privacy settings without notice. Microsoft has done some campaigns to alert users, but honestly, they should prompt post-update if they want to do these kind of things… What are they doing? The December Xbox 360 Update, set to be released at 2 AM Pacific [...]
Micromat Taxes TechTool Pro 4 Owners… Again…
Micromat has come up with a crafty way of taxing TechTool Pro 4 owners to keep using their software… refuse to offer the updater online. Granted, I’ve butted heads with Micromat in the past on their practices, but like I’ve said in the past, I do buy and use their products, as there isn’t anything [...]
