iMac Software Update 1.0: Apple new iMacs, which debuted last Tuesday, already has a security patch available from Apple's Web site or through Software Update. Apple doesn't say what the patch fixes.

 

Mac Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.1: If you have a Mac Pro, you should know that that a firmware update is available. According to Apple, the update adjusts the fan behavior in the Mac Pro.

 

Boot Camp 1.4 beta: Apple released a new version of the Boot Camp beta. The update has upport for MacBook Pro keyboard backlighting, Apple Remote pairing, updated graphics drivers, and more.

 

Download iMovie HD 6: Apple has made iMovie HD 6 available for free, in case you rather use the old version instead of the new version. It's a 155MB download.

 

iWork vs. Office: A BusinessWeek article reveals that Microsoft Office has a Mac market share of 97 percent, which could be one of the reasons why Apple wants to take on Office for the Mac. It might be a good time to take on Office, since it won't be available until next year, and Mac users are sick of the second-class treatment from Microsoft.

 

Blame the iPhone: In a perfect example avoiding personal responsibility for your actions (or perhaps it's just a ploy to drive Web traffic), one guy blames his iPhone for causing a treadmill accident. Unfortunately, the Flickr account that had pictures of the accident have been removed. We won't be surprised he makes like SP Technologies and sues Apple.
