Control the new 10.5 iTunes visualizers | Macworld
http://www.macworld.com/article/132822/2008/04/itunesviz105.html
-
Not rated yet.
- Details
Turns out there are new visualisers in iTunes that are actually Quartz Composer based. Coo. Actually, I vaguely recall hearing that as a WWDC style bullet point, but I'd forgotten, so this is good.

AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow 4.2.5 | Apple
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportadminutilityforgraphiteandsnow425.html
-
Not rated yet.
- Details
If you have old hardware (hello!) then you'll want this, as the admin utility that comes with 10.5 won't talk to the UFO-shaped access points. I'm not sure what needed fixing for Leopard; the previous version works for me.

"After yesterday's Airport updates, folks starting noticing that USB drives plugged in to Airport Extreme Base Stations were suddenly recognized by Time Machine as valid backup drives." Hurrah! Not that I have an Extreme. Ah well.

A PDF on the history of AppleScript, including tantalising descriptions of the never-released Professional Dialect, amongst other things. (I referred to this back in September 2006, but keep needing to find it.)

About the Safari 3.1 Update | Apple
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307467
-
Not rated yet.
- Details
I was half-expecting this lot to have to wait for 10.6, but apparently not; perhaps Safari's new life as a dual-platform app has led to lots of releases. Fun toys, including a Developer menu and local storage (using the HTML5 API).
