Getting ready for the iPhone Update 4.2? It is supposed to be ready tomorrow, possibly Nov 12, 2010.

Friday the 12th for the release of an update…?

iTunes 10 will also be updated to 10.1 during this update.

Update:

Apple has released Mac OS 10.6.5 Wednesday evening. The update comes weighing in at about 520MB. It address a number of issues such some graphical performance and the pesky rendering of Wikipedia content in the Dictionary app. However, we have yet to see the iTunes 10.1 release that the sources have mentioned would be showing its face on Thursday. We have also see further confirmation that the iOS 4.2 update is very near as developers have been administering updates to address issues with their software on the platform.

I have just installed Mac OS 10.6.5 and so far it appears to be stable.

On Wednesday, Apple released OS X 10.6.5 and Security Update 2010-007, patching 131 vulnerabilities across both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server.
About 40% of the fixes involve Adobe Flash, is the Flash plug-in as buggy as people claim?

Here’s a list of the update readme notes:
