Apple seeds another build of 10.6.3 to devs
Apple seeded another build of OS X 10.6.3 today. This latest build number is 10D558. This is just nine days after Apple seeded build 10D552. iPhoneinCanada is reporting that the current build focuses on Apple Filing Protocol, AirPort, Graphics Drivers, and QuickTime, as well as the following: Performance improvements for 64-bit Logic Addresses compatibility issues with OpenGL-based applications Includes changes to QuickTime X that increase reliability and enhance security Improves printing reliability and compatibility with 3rd party printers Addresses issues that cause background message colors to display incorrectly in Mail Issues that caused machines using BTMM and Bonjour Sleep Proxy to wake unexpectedly Issues with recurring events in iCal when connected to Exchange servers This is the fifth build of 10.6.3 Apple has released since January. While no time frame for release is ever given, generally the closer in time the builds come to one another, the better likelihood that a release is imminent.
Chrome OS 'Diet' version fits on a 1GB USB key, brings more WiFi support
Not everyone has a 4GB USB key or SD card just lying around, which was required to run Hexxeh's first build of Chromium OS, and we'd say that 8GB keys are exponentially more rare, which is what Dell requires with its build of the Chrome OS open source variant. Well, you can cancel that Fry's run, because Hexxeh is back with a Chrome OS Diet flavor, which cuts the fat and gets the OS onto a 1GB drive. It supposedly doesn't cut anything features-wise, and actually improves WiFi support since it's based on a newer build -- check out that compatibility list source link for the full story on that.
