Thank you, osm. Apple's updated iPhoto page reads
This update addresses several issues with using multiple text rules in Smart Albums and it also eliminates some problems with creating iPhoto books in the German and Dutch languages. Additionally, 4.0.3 keeps users informed about new version of iPhoto that have become available.

Anonymous Coward writes "The IBM PowerPC 970 CPUs are well-designed, high-performance chips that ship in millions of end-user systems under Apple Computers' Power Macintosh G5 moniker. These CPUs greatly lower the bar for 64-bit computing on the desktop and on small servers. Currently, Terra Soft's beta Y-HPC is one of only two 64-bit Linuxes that run on G5s. As their names imply, the G5-enabled betas -- both 32- and 64-bit versions -- are for evaluation only. This article is an early look at the promise of Linux on a G5 and is intended for developers interested in trying out this combination in anticipation of production-ready releases to come."

Mike Rose writes "DealMac is reporting that Delta's low-fare Song carrier is offering a "50 Years of Rock" promotion; fly one qualifying round trip & get 100 iTunes song downloads, fly three round trips and get an iPod Mini. (Two trips gets you a Les Paul Junior Guitar.) What better excuse to take the family to Florida? Many restrictions apply, so read the fine print."

Anonymous Coward writes "I have just finished the first OSX GUI tool for Asterisk, the open source telephony server and a download link to the pre-release can be found on the Wiki. Much like Apple's setup assistants, this is an Assistant for newbies to add new extensions and phones to their Asterisk configuration when running Asterisk on OSX. Information on that is also on the Wiki above. For the curious, the assistant will be released as open source under the GPL. "

Jerry Tuttle writes "There is a fascinating essay titled Convergence Kills claiming it is a matter of time until the iPod is replaced by mobile phones, but the real Apple strategy is centered around their iTunes store and Fairplay digital rights management software becoming pervasive. His claims may or may not be bolstered by a Motorola agreement and the announcement of new 1" hard drives on the way for mobile phones."

bedouin writes "Just passed by Google News and saw this Reuters articles. In an E-mail sent from his hospital bed, Jobs writes that he has underwent surgery for a cancerous tumor in his pancreas. While this sounds potentially fatal, Steve's cancer is a more rare form, that can be surgically removed. While he recuperates Tim Cook will reside as an interim CEO. Mr. Jobs is planning to return to Apple next month." On behalf of all the MacSlash staff, we wish a speedy recovery to Steve!
