A quote from LoopRumors.com...

"Rumors of Mac OS X 10.2.5 have been floating around for a few weeks. We learned early this morning that 10.2.5 will be available for the public in the first two weeks of April. Codenamed Plaid, Apple reveals that the update will include improvements to AirPort, Bluetooth, Classic, FireWire, graphics, Image Capture, Mail, and OpenGL, as well as AFP, web services, dial-up PPP connections, Windows file services, audio disc recording, and printing."
 
10.2.5 is not a news.

6L11 was out 'ages ago' and the official release will be out there fast.

I like your quote :)
 
you said there will be improvements to mail.....

i hope this isn't that rumored 'metal' version of mail i've heard about.
 
Looprumors is a joke. They don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. They have been wrong on just about everything they've reported.
 
The battery killerfix *should be* in it - or a lot of people will anywayz crawl for the 10.2.6
 
I agree with kendall: all I know of LoopRumors is that they're the worse rumor source around.
 
Would macrumors.com have been so much better? I'm still waiting for the tuesday and the new (video) ipod releases.-- :D .. = what they have been rumoring since december. :p
 
Isn't Looprumors a rumors site? Does that mean they can't make up gossip?

All of the rumour sites I've known have been a mixture between disclosed information, intelligent guessing and plain gossip forwarding. (macnews.net.tc is no exception, of course.) How good is a rumour site then? Well, it depends on the signal:noise ratio as well as the background knowledge (technical, historical etc.) that the journalists have. Some sites have a long background that give them some credit (in the public view) even when the authors have changed and the noise gets too loud.

There was a time when macosrumors.com was, along with O'Grady's PowerPage, almost the only source of Macintosh rumours on the web, apart from the underground warez networks, where you could not only get info on unreleased betas but also the betas themselves.

The only _new_ kind of rumour site is actually macwhispers.com, which tries to get information from third party hardware suppliers (to Apple). It's an interesting project that has both succeeded and failed in gathering important information.

From time to time, Apple also gives out irrelevant, false or old information as 'rumours' to people who then might post it to the rumour sites. I have one case in my archive where that could be confirmed (but macnews.net.tc is not that old yet...).

Now, looprumors, in my opinion, is a bit of everything. But the authors are sadly lacking (technical and historical background) knowledge, which is one third to a successful rumour site.

Sorry for the long post.
 
Okay so the Safari v66 as a public release was one more of those faulty rumors but at least I knwo where the rumor came from.. :p
 
since i got 10.2.4, it takes sooo long to start up (the white background with grey apple in middle screen). It's there for about 3 whole minutes! I hope .5 will fix this.
video ipods?
 
Androo: hold Command-V as soon as you push power so you can see what it's doing, and maybe troubleshoot it.

And no, there's a whole post on why video-enabled iPods, etc., won't come out.
