Nearly two months after Valve reported that some of their games ran poorly on 10.6.4, Apple update their graphics drivers:
The Snow Leopard Graphics Update contains stability and performance fixes for graphics applications and games, including fixes that:
- address frame rate issues occurring in Portal and Team Fortress 2 on certain Macs
- resolve an issue that could cause Aperture 3 or StarCraft II to unexpectedly quit or become unresponsive

Recently, updates have been few and far between for our good ol’ desktop Macs. The Mac Pro is 484 days since an update. Yikes!
Tired of the wait I emailed Steve Jobs. To my surprise I received a reply:
Stay tuned. Steve’s ambivalent comment will both sooth and annoy those waiting for a refresh: Apple haven’t given up on Macs, you’ll see some soon.
Is Steve’s comment enough for you or is the Dark Side calling?
Where were the computers, Steve? And by that I mean the boring, traditional, on a desk computers? I know they’re so 1999, mentally beige, but damn it I want to see a new Pro, a new Mini, a new iMac, a new Air and a new xServe!
