This update does not appear to be for 1G MBPs with Core Duo processors, as it does not show up in Software Update. There is no info on the Apple site to either confirm or deny this. I'm gonna wait and see if it does indeed appear later in SU. |

Same here at almost 2:30am. I'll give it until tomorrow to see if MS wakes up, otherwise I'll have to d/l it manually on this MBP running 10.5.2. |

You don't need to, as Apple will add the necessary CUPS update to a future Software Update. Doesn't mean the developer can't announce the immediate availability of updates though (this is for Unix too after all). Trust Software Update. As long as you don't do something stupid like delete Receipts from your System, Software Update will usually know what your system needs. |

If you don't know what you're doing with this, do not install it. Apple is good about adding the necessary improvements to the printing infrastructure (and now in Leopold, apparently, printer drivers too) via Software Update. My advice: if your printer is working, you don't need this. |

For me, Netscape lost all relevance after version 7 when they fired all of their developers and closed up shop (or shall I say AOL). Granted, anyone has the right to be in business, but their comeback was less than stellar. Version 8 was outsourced to some Canadian company, was never Mac-compatible, and lacked the features that made Netscape Netscape: integrated mail/address book, HTML composer, IRC, etc. So Version 9 is cross platform. At this point, it's all about ad revenue, getting you to use Netscape Search. The old Netscape's legacy (and most of their employees) lives on in Seamonkey and Firefox/Thunderbird. The Mac browser space is already crowded with excellent choices. If NS9 came back as a true internet suite, that might be something exciting. But another browser? Who cares... |

Strange how the screenshot of the MU website is displayed on the left side of the page, when in my Camino and Minefield builds it is centered/dynamic. |

Just to add, WMP has been EOL'd (end of life) by Microsoft. You should be using Flip instead of WMP, removing all traces of WMP from your machine. |

Would love to see a UB version of this wonderful program. Colloquy is nice but it's always buggy. Will we see an update, or has this become vaporware? |

Is a developer not allowed to improve on his code? The end result is still the same, he's just refining the process. |

2.1 doesn't add anything. It's just a change in the script itself. "Nothing to add" means exactly that. |

CamiSession conflicts with the built-in session-saving now included in Camino. CamiTools is no longer supported and breaks post-1.0.4 builds, which is why you had to trash prefs.js. UnifyCamino and GrowlCamino should pose no problems, make sure you have the latest versions of both. |

Are you using 1password? If so, make sure you've got the most recent version. Also, make sure you are not using any unsupported 3rd-party plugins like CamiTools. |

My MBP saw the QT and Airport updates earlier, but is not seeing this one in SU either. I think I'll wait until it does. |

Did you even read the product description? If it's not something that interests you, then move along. Ben has a great track record of creating extremely useful little apps, plugins, and pref panes that do one thing well and fill important niches for many Mac users, and the OSX developer community is lucky to have a guy like him. Keep up the great work! |

I, too, have a MacBook Pro and a Citibank account. I just paid my bill with no problem. Granted, that's the extent of my needs for the Citibank site, but to call it unusable would be misleading. If you're up to doing some troubleshooting, the first step would be to create a new profile (move the Camino folder in ~/Library/App. Support to your Desktop, then launch Camino) and see if the problem still exists. Make sure ad blocking and Flashblock are not causing your issue. Also, make sure you don't have any 3rd party Camino plugins or input managers that are causing issues (CamiTools, CamiFlash, etc.). Don't just remove old pref panes, be sure to look in the Input Mgrs folders in both /Library and ~/Library. |

I used an OEM version of Win98, the applied the XP SP2 updater to that. Be persistent, it'll work. |

This plugin used to receive regular updates, but since the Intel transition, nothing. It would be nice to know one way or the other if the developer intends to create an Intel or UB version. If the answer is no, that's fine, but just let us know so the speculating can end. |

Exactly. This is why the "Delete Preferences" script is included with every d/l of VLC. |

Current users can just launch NeoOffice, and have it direct you to the Patch 7 page. As for it being less responsive than Office, remember: it's using java to draw its windows. |

Make sure you've got your product key handy. This update sent me to the Parallels product registration webpage. Just go to the menubar and re-enter your key and you'll be good to go. |

If I listen to that same stream using Whamb (www.whamb.com) I don't get that drop. No output to Console suring the drops either. The ogg stream at http://www.thedividingline.com/listen-high.pls seems to behave a little better, but I've still had the drops after a period of time. That one uses a different broadcasting software. I'm not sure what they use on their server, however their live DJs use Winamp with a plugin for broadcasting. BTW, the AAC+ stream I listen to works very nicely ;-) |

The station uses SAM Broadcaster from Spacial Audio. It seems like when the track changes, FStream tends to get hung up at times, like it will remain in a state of buffering. I've been playing around with the preferences to see if certain settings work better than the others. This station also does live shows, and the stream seems to hang when the DJ goes to talk as well. If I go into the streams menu (top-right button) and click on the stream in the list, it starts playing again. Performance seems to deteriorate after time. This is on a MBP 2.0GHz with 2GB of RAM. I've got a PPC eMac here, I'll see if there's any difference on that machine. One thing I did notice in a crash report was reference to Application Enhancer. I've since added FStream to the Exclude list in APE. |

Getting better. I like the new engine. Still some stability issues with ogg-based Icecast stream, like this one: http://boa.mediacast1.com:9288/prog1.ogg |

After using for a while, I'm noticing CPU usage going through the roof as the buffer percentage drops, currently at 102.6% CPU with a 35% buffer, this on a MBP 2.0GHz with 2GB of RAM. |

When you go to Adobe's site, you'll see 2 d/ls: a UB for Intel, and a PPC only, which is 1/2 the size of the UB. Why, if Adobe is going to release 2 versions, don't they make the Intel version Intel-only, to reduce the redundancy of unnecessary PPC, which would make the plugin much smaller. Come on Adobe, you can do better! And yes, I did send a note to Adobe as well. |

Downloaded piecemeal engine-only updater on both machines. Version now showing properly in the ClamXav application window; however, still getting the out of date warning on both machines (Intel and PPC). |

Excellent program. Make sure to install engine before trying to launch ClamXav for the first time. Engine still showing as v. 0.88 on first install on MacBook Pro, and after running the engine updater on PPC. |

If you Check For Update from the application, you will bypass all the b.s. that everyone is complaining about and be taken directly to the download page. |

Just to add, the stream played for about 20 minutes. Further attempts to restart the stream would result in extremely sluggish response of QT menus and occasional beachballs. It's a start, but there's more to do in this area. |
