Apple Unleashes Snow Leopard Fixes and Leopard
Security Update, but Tiger Loses Out
The Register's Rik Myslewski comments that Apple's 10.6.3 update
(below) to Mac OS 10.6, a.k.a. Snow Leopard
aims to fix issues with QuickTime X, OpenGL, Windows compatibility,
printer and USB-device problems, and more with 48 updates and bug-fixes
that, in Apple's words, "enhance the stability, compatibility, and
security of your Mac" - along with security updates for Mac OS X Leopard and Leopard Server
versions 10.5.8.
But if you're still running either the client or server version of
Mac OS X 10.4, a.k.a.
Tiger, you're out of luck as far as security updates go, and your
operating system appears to have been dropped from the update
queue.

Unleashes Four Dozen Free Snow Leopard Fixes but Tiger Loses
Out
10.6.3 Update Makes Snow Leopard Blood-Free
TUAW's Chris Rawson reports:
"When you compare the snow leopard that graces the front of the Mac
OS X Snow Leopard box with the same picture that's in your Mac's
built-in desktop pictures, you'll notice a very subtle difference
. . . assuming you're running a version of Snow Leopard prior
to 10.6.3, that is. In earlier versions of Snow Leopard, the big cat in
the OS's desktop pictures has some slight flecks of blood on its lower
jaw, and its lower teeth are also slightly visible. The same picture
has been 'cleaned up' for the front of the Snow Leopard retail box, as
well as the install disc itself; the blood has been removed, and the
snow leopard's lower teeth have been Photoshopped out...."

Apple Value: Macintosh Portable Cost $11,000 in
2010 Dollars
VoucherCodes' Helen Evans says:
"On the eve of Apple's iPad launch, we
thought it would be interesting to see whether the cost of the iPad
really is an 'unbelievable price' compared to previous Apple product
launches.
"Looking back through the archives, to the launch of the first Apple
computer in 1976, we've worked out how much it would cost to buy each
of Apple's new major product releases today - accounting for
inflation.
"So, is the iPad as good value as Steve Jobs would like us to
believe? We'll let you make your own mind up."
Examples provided include the 1983 'Macintosh prototype' Apple Lisa, which launched at
$9,995 ($21,745 in 2010 dollars - the equivalent of what 43 iPads would
cost today) and the $6,500 Macintosh Portable from 1989
(equivalent to a whopping $11,356 now).
Other interesting prices in 2010 dollars: Original Macintosh, $5,205;
"low cost" Macintosh LC, $3,708;
original iMac,
$1,594.

Are Third-party Printer Inks Worth the
Savings?
Macworld's James Galbraith notes that printer makers recommend you
use their inks, but third-party inks cost less, and with money in short
supply these days, everyone wants to find a way to trim costs, one
expense that could be on the chopping block is ink prices and if you're
looking for deals on ink, you can find them on the Internet.
In real-world testing, Galbraith determines that by dividing the
cost of black ink cartridges by the number of pages each printed,
third-party ink cartridges from Silo for an Epson printer calculate out
to of 2.5¢ per page as opposed 11¢ per page for Epson's own
black cartridge. With color cartridges it was 43.5¢ per page for
Epson inks and 9.5¢ per page for the Silo product, although
quality using the off-brand ink suffered in some instances, although
good enough to more than satisfy 90% of users out there in Galbraith's
estimation.

Third-party Printer Inks Worth the Savings?
Major Printer Types Explained
PC World's Melissa Riofrio says:
"Want to buy a new printer? You have some decisions to make. Do you
need only monochrome printing, or color capability? Do you prefer
laser, LED, inkjet, or solid-ink technology? What about extras, such as
wireless networking or multifunction copy/scan/fax features? Your
choices will depend on what you want to do with the printer, how much
printing you do, how many other people will also use the printer, and,
of course, how much you can spend - for the printer itself and for the
replacement ink or toner.
"We'll help you figure everything out. In this article, we'll
describe the major types of printers available, so you know what your
options are. In another portion of this printer buying guide, we'll
explain important printer specs to help you figure out which models
would best fit your needs. And when you hit a brick-and-mortar store or
a Website, our printer shopping tips will make your purchase
easier."
Editor's note: Inkjet printers will eat you alive with the cost of
consumables. At Low End Mac, we're huge fans of laser printers -
monochrome or color - for everyday work and dye-sublimation for
printing snapshots. dk

Updating your system
You should back up your system before installation; you can use Time
Machine.
Don't interrupt the installation process once you have started to
update your system. You may experience unexpected results if you have
third-party system software modifications installed, or if you've
modified the operating system through other means.
Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for the latest
Apple software via the Internet, including this update.
If your computer is not up-to-date, other software updates available
for your computer may appear, which you should install. When Software
Updates states "Your software is up to date," you can be sure that all
available updates have been installed.
Note that an update size may vary from computer to computer when
installed using Software Update. Also, some updates must be installed
prior to others, so you should run Software Update more than once to
make sure you have all available updates.
You can manually download the update installer. This is a useful
option when you need to update multiple computers but only want to
download the update once. These versions of the standalone installers
are available from Apple Support Downloads. [Note: this is my preferred
method regardless of how many computers there are to update. See
download link below. CM]

Belkin Introduces Apps in New 802.11n Wireless
Router Line
PR: You can now do more with your photos, music, and videos
with Belkin's new wireless routers. Featuring fun and powerful
applications, the Surf, Share, Play, and Play Max Wireless Routers
enable you to play music, games, and HD videos as well as share photos
and print wirelessly from anywhere in your home.
PlayMaxRouter.jpeg
More Households Cut the Cord on Cable
With the explosion of multimedia content, people are looking for new
and richer experiences with their photos, music, and videos. In a
recent IDC survey, 72% of respondents own a digital still camera and
use it at least once a month in the home. As such, we can expect that
more people will want to share their photos and videos in more places.
According to Forrester, the digital music market has grown
substantially in the past few years and stands at $3 billion in the US
in 2008.* Similarly, as reported by The Wall Street Journal, almost 1
million homes in 2008 eliminated their cable TV to rely solely on the
Internet for video entertainment. In recognizing these burgeoning
needs, Belkin aims to create richer multimedia experiences to empower
people to do the activities they want.
belkinusb.jpg
With apps designed to enhance your wireless experience, Belkin's new
line of routers are easy to set up and will keep you online. The
Self-Healing app automatically detects and resolves network problems
and runs routine maintenance scans to give you the clearest wireless
channel.
The Share, Play, and Play Max Routers offer the Print Genie app that
lets you wirelessly print from any computer on the network in your home
while Memory Safeô automatically backs up your photos and files
to an external hard drive (sold separately) so you can rest assured
that your precious memories are protected.
With advanced Dual-Band N technology, Belkin's Play and Play Max
Routers provide the best speed and performance. Simultaneous networks
eliminate interference and allow you to optimize performance for
media-intensive activities, such as streaming HD movies, gaming online,
and downloading large media files.
Apps on Play and Play Max let you do more with your music. Music
Mover can play your entire music library on smart devices, like the
Xbox or PS3ô, making your music just a touch away. The Daily DJ
app serves up daily personalized playlists to match your mood. By
analyzing the musical DNA of your music, Daily DJ creates playlists
around three mood mixes: High-Energy, Steady Groove, and Kick Back. You
can also create your own playlist by choosing a song and letting Daily
DJ offer a new take on your favorite music.

Quotes
Kurt Scherf, Vice President and Principal Analyst at Parks
Associates:
"Belkin's approach to studying user experiences and
how people are interacting with their digital content is evident in how
they've designed their new wireless routers. Features such as Easy
Setup and its Music Mover app help people do the activities they want
to do, and Belkin is communicating these benefits in a simple way such
that people can understand."
Jim Wagner, General Manager at Belkin:
"The explosion of digital content is heralding new
opportunities, and this in itself is exciting. Using our consumer
insight research, we learned that people want to do more with their
photos, music, and videos throughout their home and across their
network. Further, we found that while people had high aspirations for
their network and media, unfortunately they were not buying routers
capable of giving them the best of those experiences.
"With that in mind, we created a line of wireless
routers based around the activities people want to do most. We made our
Surf, Share, and Play Routers powerful enough to give great networking
experiences, and we added easy-to-use apps to enable these activities.
Now, even the most novice of consumer can create great experiences in
their home and across their network."
