- unloud, on 10/11/2007, -4/+74And so the debate is settled! It IS .10 after .9!
/geek> - winnch, on 10/11/2007, -3/+35Of course it is. Anyone who thinks differently (or different) isn't being very logical.
10.1 is an incremental change to 10.0.
10.1.1 is an incremental change to that 10.1 revision.
10.1.1.1 is an incrementral change to that 10.1.1 revision.
Therefore.... 10.4.9 becomes 10.4.10 if they are still improving on 10.4. 10.5 doesn't show up until they have made dramatic enhancements to the entire project.
10.4.9.1 would be a small tweak specifically to 10.4.9. - griz, on 10/11/2007, -2/+25Who the hell cares what they call the next version as long as it makes my machine snappier.

Sounds like you need to reset PRAM, where time-zone information is stored. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R before the grey screen appears. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time. The clock settings should all reset and they should be able to be changed and hold. Also make sure to do a permission repair. - fribhey, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13there was never a debate. the "." is not a decimal point and the number that comes after 9 is and has always been 10
- MacParrot, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11Looking forward to seeing the sdlvx OS any day now. Well, once he finishes that Half-Life level
- jeriqo, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14Which?
- threemagic, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11I had no idea bluetooth keyboards had OSes let alone the ability to boot into single user mode...
- notcarsondaly, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11I guess you like something more along the lines of this "Version 5.2 (Build 3790.srv03_sp1_gdr.070304-2232 : Service Pack 1)"
Bonus: Anyone on the U.S. East coast who knows what that means has my permission to leave work 15 minutes early today. :) - pinkgreenblue, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10@doctorsax: I have the same problem but only when I'm restarting after running Windows XP (in Boot Camp).
- DirkVanAss, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Does anyone elses cursor disappear sometimes in safari?
- wvannus, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9I thought "a" was after 9?
- griz, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9Those would be called security updates.
- bradleyland, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Of course it is. This is dot notation, not decimal notation.
- mmcwhorter, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5@fribhey
fribhey Sayeth: "the number that comes after 9 is and has always been 10"
Not always. Sometimes the number that comes after 9 is A or 0x0a or #0A - sansri88, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5@ notcarsondaly
ummm...that looks like windows server 2003 with service pack 1 installed
upgrade to sp2 dude - AlmostEvil, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Can you elaborate?
I've had no problems on my Macbook at all with 10.4.9, the only thing that made me worried at all was after installing the update my macbook took a while to boot up afterward. But then went back to booting normally after that. - dkm201, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5What is a tounge? Is that like a lounge?
- longbow486, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Lion?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Holy crap, sdivx. Talk about insecure. Blocked!
- robojames, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5more like once he finishes grade 7
- bedrock, on 10/11/2007, -6/+9you can classify apple news & rumours as a type of masturbation. so it never really changed.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3OS XI
- chrisxkelley, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3@ dirkvanass:
I've wondered about that too. I believe it happens when you're on a page with a flash embed, the best example i can think of being google finance. if you scroll that up so the flash would be right underneath the back/forward buttons, then mouse over them, it happens. it has something to do with flash making the cursor invisible and that safari doesnt do too well with overlaying stuff on top of flash. - threemagic, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4It's not the content of the article that matters, it's who posted it that determines it's front paginess...
As a Mac lover, even I see that a front page story about an OS X patch is as silly as someone posting a Vista patch that is too be released in the near future.
I guess I could understand if millions of users couldn't do something (like use their ipod) until this update.. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Oh oh, the sensitive Microsofties are upset again.
- notcarsondaly, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5I think the negative reactions to the version number just show the difference between old and new mac users. New mac users are still tainted by M$ ways of doing things and like versions of OSes marketed with dumbed down, catchy phrases (and they probably have never seen the output of the winver command, yikes). Not that Apple isn't guilty of the same names with the stupid big cat naming scheme but I won't go there, yet. Old mac users, at least the ones that I have known over the years, are generally more well versed in how versioning works in software development and how to track that through version numbers. At the very least, they understand that there is a common versioning scheme Apple uses and they can follow it past the number 9.
Hey, new mac users, go check out some emerging open source projects with version 0.x numbers. "OH MY! How could something be version 0? Does that mean it doesn't exist?" - rdoger6424, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2People like you are why I don't use a headset on my Xbox360.
- dagamer34, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2As a new mac user, I find that kind of insulting. Just because we finally saw the light doesn't mean you should still call us idiots. Some of us DO know how versioning works.
Anyway, I'm just wondering what 10.4.10 will provide. - 666dorado, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2what is it you can do that we can't do? crunch numbers? write code? be specific. and then tell me which 95% of real world people give a *****.
us mac users are spending our valuable time actually creating and producing interesting stuff (web design, photography, music, films) instead of deleting viruses off of our machines daily and searching all over for our files and making sense out of a discombumbulated operating system and 3rd party hardware that's incompatible.
your anger doesn't hide your true envy. - Jeezoflip, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2i dont see why people are complaning that it will be 10.4.10. Be happy apple is actually caring enough to make a new update for your system in the meantime instead of just leaving you hanging out to dry waiting for october to roll around and still being stuck with 10.4.9 for those 6 months.
- jer2eydevil88, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Since 10.4.9 I get kernel panics on my MBP when I unplug any USB mouse and the machine is on, if I put it into sleep by closing the lid and then unplug the mouse everything works fine when I reopen the lid. Hopefully 10.4.10 can fix this significant problem... I'd hate to have to reinstall everything just because of my mouse.
- WiseWeasel, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2What he's saying is that the bluetooth driver is no longer loaded early enough in the boot process to be able to use the key combo to boot into single user mode... That does seem like a problem for people without a USB keyboard handy (becoming increasingly prevalent).
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1OS X has had so many advancements over the years...but, I guess OS 11 doesn't sound as cool as OS X.
- WiseWeasel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+110.4 is perfectly stable. Just don't install any 3rd party kernel extensions (Symantec, I'm looking at you), and don't use cheap RAM... I haven't seen a kernel panic in a long, long time (years?), both on my PPC and Intel systems.
- MacParrot, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Is this the only way you can get people to talk to you? That's so sad. :(
- dackerman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Amen.

"@doctorsax: I have the same problem but only when I'm restarting after running Windows XP (in Boot Camp)."
This is a common problem with Windows machines that dual-boot. It has to do with the fact that Windows XP changes the system clock rather than its own internal clock. There was a time a few months back where my Linux/XP machine was having the same issue. Not sure how I fixed it though... - regeya, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Wow, I've not seen that lame a flame get this many responses in quite some time. Incredible.
For the record, the desktop that 's eyecandy-heavy with almost no users would be Enlightenment. - pinkgreenblue, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I should add to my earlier reply that the clock doesn't go forward one hour but instead if off by quite a bit. I'm not sure if it is the same amount each time, but it's many hours and minutes off.
- koregaonpark, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Actually, I do. :P
- longbow486, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Version 5.1(Build 2600.xpsp2_sp2_gdr.061219-0136 : Service Pack 2)
gotta love it when you can tell just what patch you are running at with these numbers - TheNameless88, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Whole-heartedly agree.
Hopefully they sweep up the rest of the MoAB's flaws. - bbardlbradd, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1 Well let's see it already.
It better include:
(List of features expected to be in OS 10.5 Leopard) - boomshakalaka, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Ocelot
- freezermeat, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1OK, come on then... what is "Version 5.2 (Build 3790.srv03_sp1_gdr.070304-2232 : Service Pack 1)" all about, eh?
- HerrEisenheim, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0The clock problem with BootCamp is a known issue. Because it doesn't have access to the BIOS (because there is none) to get the time, it reports it wrong. I suspect the issue will be resolved eventually, but will likely require a firmware update. In fact, it may have already been addressed in a previous firmware update, so make sure you have that.
If everyone is having this problem, then it's still a known issue. If it works for some and not for others, it's likely that it was already addressed. I'm not sure myself, because I don't run BootCamp. - CountBrass, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Perhaps you should ask Samsung? It's their problem.
- 666dorado, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1reminds me of microsoft's retarded Longhorn (pre-Vista). can't they think of something original for a change, or will they always be copy cats?
- longbow486, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0i would have thought apple would use that one first.....
