post from The Apple Blog on 05 November 2007 11:23:12 PM. © The Apple Blog

Separate from the BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death - it’s generally a Windows term, if you’re somehow unaware…) that some folks experienced after upgrading to Leopard, there’s word of a new bluish, or greenish tint that’s occurring on some user’s screens.

Mail 3.0: Links in subject now clickable

post from The Apple Blog on 05 November 2007 10:28:42 PM. © The Apple Blog

So either no one has emailed me with a URL in the subject line since I’ve been a Mac user (a little over 3 years), or Leopards Mail 3.0 has a new “feature” (if you want to call it that).No, I don’t send emails to myself. Someone emailed me and in the subject they [...]

Quicksilver

post from Daring Fireball on 05 November 2007 08:19:00 PM. © Daring Fireball

Wildcard is Intel-only, at least for now. Also new: the source code for Quicksilver (and Wildcard) is now open.

Data Loss Bug in Leopard When Moving Files
Between Volumes

Tom Karpik:

Leopard?s Finder has a glaring bug in its directory-moving code, leading to horrendous data loss if a destination volume disappears while a move operation is in action.

Safe workaround: When you wish to move a folder between volumes, do a copy in the Finder (by dragging with no modifier keys held down) and then delete the original on the old volume manually.
