Is it wrong to be excited about updates??...... What have I become, it all started with my iMac arriving after leopard was released. Now I am an apple fanboy... HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That said my 5th gen video ipod has just died, so my fan status is wavering.

Did it have any remaining warranty?
 
Seed 9C23 is now out, expect this very soon.

UPDATE: You can't watch or burn CD/DVDs via remote disc.

With the Air being launched on Tuesday, it would seem like 10.5.2 will be released Tuesday too. :)

They'll probably try to push it out Monday, and it's rumored to be 450MB.

I have 1500kbps, so it'll take me a good 45 mins to download :(

I've told the mrs' that when we get kids and move, we're moving to a cabled area so I can get decent net speeds.

She laughed, but she knows she'll get my way :D

*adds MagicBoy to hate-list*

My guessing update is pushed to Tuesday now..
 
I'd have believed it if he'd said KaZaA tbh :p

Maybe the devs finished the update Friday, had a nice weekend off, and thought "if there's no issues Monday, we'll push it Tuesday"

Mac OS X 10.5.2. 9C27 Seeded.

Despite hopes for an imminent release, it appears Mac OS X 10.5.2 is not yet ready for public consumption. Last week, Apple released a couple of seeds with "no known issues", but apparently has continued to work on the latest Leopard release.

Today, Apple provided developers with the 9C27 and the seed notes indicate that there are still no known issues.

Apple released the first Mac OS X 10.5 update (10.5.1) only 3 weeks after Leopard's initial launch. 10.5.2 has been particularly anticipated as it introduces a some interface changes along with the usual bug fixes.

Of note, the just-released MacBook Air ships with a version of Mac OS X 10.5.1.

Mac OS X 10.5.2 Not Quite Ready Yet (9C30 Seeded)

Apple has fixed some issues with Time Machine and AFP X Client and bumped Mac OS X 10.5.2 to build 9C30. The latest Mac OS X seed was released to developer's today, only four days behind 9C27. There are "no known issues" in this latest seed.

It seems clear that Apple is putting the finishing touches on Mac OS X, with accelerated developer releases in the hopes of reaching the final build. Due to the continuous bug fixing process, it impossible to predict the release date of the next update to Mac OS X. Historically, however, Apple has released the final build as quickly as one day following the last developer seed (9B18 seeded, 9B18 released).
 
OS X 10.5.2 (9C31) Seeded, Safari 3.1 Beta Incorporates Latest Webkit Features

Not long now.. 1 day since the last seed :)
 
Safari has been stable as a rock for me.

If they can tweak the speed even more then I'll be happy.

Saying that, Leopard has been fine for me all the way.. I just want 10.5.2 so I can use the new stack option (List) and the other tweaks it'll bring :)
