Apple releases a bunch of firmware updates

Black MacBook keyboard.
Apple has released firmware updates for several Macintosh models, including MacBook Air, MacBook, MacBook Pro, and iMac, as well as a firmware update for aluminum keyboards. As usual, the release notes for all firmware updates cryptically state that they "fix several issues to improve the stability" without detailing the actual fixes. Apple has also released a firmware restoration CD to use in emergencies if a firmware update fails. read more

Steven Riggs updates TimeTable to Version 1.1

Description unavailable
Frankfort, Kentucky - Steven Riggs is proud to announce TimeTable 1.1, a major update to his time tracking and billing utility for Apple iCal. Why not use iCal for more than just scheduling? With TimeTable, users can view, analyze and total the hours recorded in their iCal calendars, offering an easy way to list the amount of hours scheduled. This makes it particularly suited for tracking and billing without keeping a second record outside of iCal.

iPhone PwnageTool released!

The “DevTeam” would like to announce the release of the OS X version of the PwnageTool application. The team (and especially Wizdaz) have been working hard to bring you this release in as short a time as possible. The plan (4 weeks ago) was to release a Mac tool only. This was decided because of the lack of reliable Mac filesystem tools on Windows, and the fact that the task of porting them would be too time consuming. With that in mind the genius that is “cmw” stepped up to the plate and offered his services to the DevTeam. He proposed to provide a tool that would give the same functionality and User Interface as the Mac tool. cmw has done an almost unthinkable task and ported the almost complete Pwnage Tool to Windows in a little under a week, and we would like to thank him for this unbelievable work. He is currently in the final test stages and hopefully this should be finished within the next 24 hours (but even he needs sleep and family time occasionally!) We’ll post a link as soon as the testing has finished. cmw’s site is at http://www.iphonelinux.org The Mac tool is available at http://www.iphone-dev.org Thanks to Sal Iovine for the awesome Steve parody image, this is copyrighted material and is provided to the DevTeam under a Creative Commons Attribution No Derivative Works 3.0 Unported license, you can see more of his work at http://www.saliovine.blogspot.com/
