Safari Updates for Snow Leopard, Leopard and Tiger - (Not installed them yet personally. And I prefer D/L installers vs SU)

"Safari 5.0.2
This update contains improvements to compatibility and security, including the following:

  • Fixes an issue that could prevent users from submitting web forms
  • Fixes an issue that could cause web content to display incorrectly when viewing a Google Image result with Flash 10.1 installed
  • Establishes an encrypted, authenticated connection to the Safari Extensions Gallery

    System Requirements: OS X 10.5.8 or later"

  • The download button on that page just goes to www.apple.com/safari/download/ which has options to D/L leopard or SL version. Here's the page on the Tiger version update:

    "Safari 4.1.2 for Tiger
    This update contains improvements to compatibility and security, including the following:

    Fixes an issue that could prevent users from submitting web forms.
    For detailed information on the security content of this update, please visit this site: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222
    System Requirements: OS X 10.4.11"

    Here's the specific doc About the security content of Safari 5.0.2 and Safari 4.1.2.
      

    2 More Mac Mini eSATA Card/Mod reports (w/photos, tips) - Friday's news had a request for other Mini owners that had done the eSATA mod reported in last month's news page after getting one report that the card wasn't recognized. (That may have been due to using the non-RAID drivers as some others have said you must use the RAID drivers with the Mini-PCIe card. However 1 report from user with a different card/setup said he used the non-RAID drivers OK.)
    Anyway, over the weekend two other Mini owners wrote they'd also done this mod successfully - one running OS X 10.5.8, the other OS X 10.6.4.
    I've added their reports/photos, etc. to a separate page on Mac Mini SATA Card Install/Mods. (Updated again at 9PM for more info from the mini owner that used a Mini-PCIe to (standard) PCIe card adapter and a different case. The other 2 mini owners are using just a Mini-PCIe SATA card.)

    BTW - As mentioned earlier, I suspect this same mod would work with intel-based iMacs but no reports on that yet. If anyone tries it, let me know.
      

    iWeb 3.0.2 Update - I don't use it but spotted this at apple today:

    iWeb 3.0.2
    This update refines comment and search support for blogs and podcasts published to MobileMe. It also resolves some issues related to publishing sites to MobileMe.
    System Requirements: OS X 10.5.6 or later"
