Was curious if this update included that new, rumored Software Update engine? I saw it talked about at various rumor/discussion/OS X sites.
Any dice? |

Enhancements
These are some of the enhancements that are delivered with the Mac OS X v10.3.4 Update. Mail and Address Book - Addresses a Mail issue in which a long address (URL) in a Mac OS X Panther Mail message may not open in your Web browser when you click it.Networking and .Mac - Resolves an issue in which automated (scheduled) syncing between iSync and .Mac would sometimes not work as expected.iPod and peripheral devices - iPods connected via USB 2.0 are now recognized by iTunes and iSync.Finder - Addresses an issue in which a writable disc might not appear in the Finder after you burn it.Printing and faxing - With this update, you can now print shadowed text from Preview to HP DeskJet 970 or 990 printer without a black outline appearing around the text.Other - Includes recent Mac OS X Security Updates. Lots of things changed, eh? Don't know about the Software Update Engine though. It's version 1.6.1 now. I'll check after restart. |

Working so far for me, although I think there might be a hang-up between 10.3.4 and the Paranoid Android utility from Unsanity. After reboot, the installer (presumably) was cleaning up stuff in the background and it caused both PA and ShapeShifter to pop up warnings, which in turn locked my Wacom mouse.
I had to plug in the optical mouse in order to dismiss the dialogs. We'll see if it happens again when I restart / boot up next time. ...into the light of a dark black night. |

Yeah, I was worried if Apple's fixes for the recent Mac OSX bugs would conflict with DIY ones. I followed Daring Fireball's advice and used RCDefaultApp.
Anyone discovered a conflict with 10.3.4 and the RCDefault settings Daring Fireball suggested? bouncy bouncy |

Safari is fast as hell. It did take a small chunk of my HD space. Now I will be doing disk repair permissions.

(afaict) 1215/234215 (top .51875%) People really have got to stop thinking there is only one operating system, one economic system, one religion, and one business model. -EvilTwinSkippy (/.) |

Network performance seems much better when pulling files from ADC via the Finder... browsing seems a little faster but I don't know that it has anything to do with the update necessarily.

Noticing that some important apps (office, Adobe) are launching a bit faster the first time around than they used to. This may have to do with the non-prebound thing because Adobe has stated for each new system session, their apps write some type of plist file when launched for the first time... then every sucessive time you launch them they are faster because said file is there already.
Well now that seems to have gone by the way-side, at least as far as the time required to move from launch, through splash sequence to being able to use the GUI. I think this may be the first ever point release I've seen that actually qualifies for the "snappehª" emblem on non-laptop hardware. ...into the light of a dark black night. |

Perhaps. Believe it or not all of my iApps seem to launch more quickly now, although GarageBand is still a lagger in that regard. Even iTunes has seen a boost. Whatever Apple did, this is one of the better updates I've seen....

Same here. My parents had no trouble with 10.2.8 with their 400 Mhz Powermac G4.

I've never had a problem with any Apple update (excuse me while I knock this piece of wood silly). I always wait 12 or so hours (except for today, since I heard nothing but good things) and see what the general consensus is.
If it's less than 25% bitching/complaining, I'll go for it. So far, so good. Can't tell much that's different with 10.3.4, but that's okay. |

It's a good rule of thumb. If you were in a mission-critical environment, though, then I would give it more like a week. |

Also, I believe the botched and butchering update you're referring to, was 10.2.7, not 10.2.8, which was the final 10.2 update. |

10.2.7 was actually never an update, but rather the version that shipped with some Apple computers late last year -- mostly powerbooks. The final update was 10.2.8 and the first (later-pulled) version of it was what caused all those problems for me. |

OK, I just opened PowerPoint to work on an ongoing project, for the first time since the update, and then clicked Safari on the Dock to post this, and I have to say, with all flameproof attire ready if needed, that this fucking thing is SNAPPY.
OMFG!!!1!1!!1 and all that... Really!!! PowerPoint opened so fast it almost made me dizzy, and I've been using it frequently lately for this project, so I have a pretty good frame of reference. |

Is the security hole closed with this update?

Two reasons for not using Paranoid Android: 1) They don't say what *exactly* it does, i.e. which exact settings it changes, and how exactly it interferes to protect the user. 2) It's not open source, so 1) becomes a stronger issue. Not that I don't trust Unsanity, but maybe their software actually adds new security holes? |
