DiskWarrior X 3.0 (Mac OS X)
So I guess this means they are making a download available to new customers, but not to upgraders. Oh well, at least we know it is shipping. I have high hopes for this version, but my upgrade CD isn't here yet... [alert admin]

VersionTracker 6.0 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
Just about all the bugs I posted yesterday are fixed. Thanks guys! I particularly appreciate Show All working now. Most of the enhancements I'd like in my original post still stand. "Alert admin" is still hopelessly misplaced (put it below where all the other links live; it gets in the way when it appears to flow with the review text). Authors shouldn't be allowed to self-rate postings, and given that it's easy to skip a review field such as "used product for", the review submitting error messages should be more specific (i.e. red highlighting on what you missed). And most importantly, you should show older version feedback instead of a blank page on less well known products that may have few or no reviews on the latest version. But overall it's working well now. The database lagginess finally seems cured, and the bug fixes are appreciated too. And the improvements to comment posting were long, long overdue. Congrats on another nice update! [alert admin]

Apple iTunes 4.0 (Mac OS X)
To answer various questions (DRM/protection, font jagginess, previews)
There is no DRM or protection of any kind on ripped tracks, whether MP3 or AAC. Protection applies only to Music Store tracks. Let me say that again - the 3-Macs and 10-playlist-burns restrictions apply ONLY when you purchased the tracks from the Music Store. (Apple KBase article that backs me up on this)
The solution to the font jagginess bug is to go into System Preferences: General and change the "smooth text below" font size option to 8. Then change it back to wherever you want.
Some of the previews appear to be erroneously posted at bad quality. Don't assume the track you will get sounds bad, even though the preview might. Also, don't assume 128kpbs AAC must be bad/inadequate; it's not equivalent to 128kbps MP3. It sounds as good as 192kbps MP3 or better. Try some tests (preferably double-blind) for yourself ;-)
International users, please realize that Apple may not be to blame; they have pretty strict distribution agreements with the labels.
iTunes is Carbon (but does it really matter?)

Apple QuickTime 6.2 (Mac OS X)
Ripped AAC files have no DRM, just like ripped MP3 files. Protection applies only to Music Store tracks. Also, no existing AAC or MP3 files will be modified to add any kind of protection. Don't believe me? See the Apple TIL article that explains this. [alert admin]

PGP 8.0.2 (Mac OS X)
How to update 8.0 Personal ($50 version) to 8.0.2
Just download the 8.0.2 freeware installer and install it. It will recognize your Personal license code and keep the Personal features enabled. [alert admin]

iCab X 2.9.1 (Mac OS X)
standards? This has barely got CSS1 in an age where CSS2 is 5 years old! That compliance is really the least that could be expected of a modern browser. It has great potential - if the developers adopt WebKit for rendering. Until then... [alert admin]

Rio 800 1.56 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
you talkin about? iTunes 3 has Rio 800 support built in. Were you having trouble with the default plugins installed with iTunes 3? [alert admin]

SimCity 3000 1.0.5a57 (Mac OS 9)
no OS X version. I would be interested in other reports as to whether this works in 9.2.2 (or Classic)? [alert admin]

single non-5 star review! Well, I'm not going to be the first. Great little app. Weird that you can do First Class and Media Mail from this app, but not even from USPS's own website. Address Book integration would be cool, and let's hope USPS enables online paid postage as well, soon! [alert admin]

full Corporate Desktop 7.2 (for OS 9, including PGP Net) with purchase of PGP Personal from store.pgp.com. Note however that I don't think PGP Net will work in Classic, only in pure 9. OS X has a built-in firewall and VPN, if that helps. [alert admin]

Just because it uses the same engine doesn't mean it runs at the same speed. There are plenty of other factors that go into both actual speed and user responsiveness (perceived speed), such as network access code efficiency. 4.5 "felt" much slower than Safari - and it used the WebCore engine too. 5.0 is much better in this regard, though still not quite Safari-speed, and a lot of the features you mentioned make it worth…

I'm not sure where you're getting the 28k figure. The scan.dat file alone is 2.9M, and the entire virus data directory that gets updated is 6.3M, so I think 4M for a compressed update isn't bad at all.

Does it really update the apps?
The Jaguar Finder caches version data so you may need to log out and in (or restart) to see the change take effect, but Excel, PowerPoint, and VBA (and probably some of the Office shared libs) should appear updated to 10.1.5. Word and Entourage weren't affected by this particular update. They'll stay at 10.1.4.

As the description says, it's stability improvements for Excel, PowerPoint and VBA, so Excel and PPT should be at 10.1.5.

It's been shipping for about a week; VT just didn't pick it up until recently.

Actually, I think some prefer this behavior — it'd probably be best as a preference.

Are you sure? My copy of 6.0 did not delete my copy of 5.1.

Installing the freeware 8.0.2 over your existing copy will work too, if you don't have the original order confirmation email handy. The freeware 8.0.2 has the Personal features "hidden" in it, and if it recognizes that you've already authorized Personal 8.0 it'll unlock those features.
