Snow Leopard: Software Update finally makes sense
August 29, 2009 by Juergen Specht · Leave a Comment
Apple’s Software Update dialog always nagged me, because the confirmation screen was so ambiguous.
Snow Leopard finally fixed it!
When there was an update available, it looked like this dialog, which is ok:
However, after you downloaded the update and it was installed, the dialog shown was practically the exact same:
The only difference was the small green check mark and the easy to miss text below. It still said “New software is available for your computer” and the only way to close the dialog was the small red dot in the top-right corner. Talk about ambiguity.
Since Apple issued software updates at least every 2 weeks in the last year and I have an unusual high amount of Mac’s, I saw this dialog about 100 times in the last year alone.
Snow Leopard finally made it right, see below:
Ah, thank you Apple. Was this really that difficult?

You have to start somewhere, so I start here. My first blog post. Mhm, this is not entirely correct, because I maintained a blog already in 1995, just we didn’t called it blogs back then. But this is another story for another day.
My name is Juergen Specht, I work as a photographer, as a technical consultant for (mostly) the photo related industry and starve as an artist while living now since almost 10 years in Tokyo, Japan. Why do I start a blog now when most people already abandoned theirs? It’s a long story, but since a very long time I was mostly busy in non-public forums and mailing lists, for example in D1scussion, a mailing list I founded in 1999. I wrote 4590 posts since its inception, which translates into almost 450 posts per year, or ca. 1.2 posts per day. But D1scussion is just one forum I am active in, there were more. In fact, I am practically always online since 1993.

While I also have a nice web site, I felt too limited to talk only about Nikon cameras or post my pictures without much commentary to my site, so I hope this blog gives me the flexibility to write about just everything which is in my mind. Lets see how it works, I give it a while.
