Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
According to widespread reports, Apple released Mac OS X 10.5.8 build 9L30 to developers earlier this week, just a few days after build 9L29.
The only documented change relates to a problem with waking from sleep when an external monitor is connected.
The fact that there no outstanding issues are listed for build 9L30 has led to speculation that 10.5.8 will be released shortly to the wider Mac community.
Apple has announced that Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard will ship in September, so it seems likely that 10.5.8 will be the last release of Leopard before the new operating system arrives.
But that doesn't mean we won't see any more updates for 10.5. There is precedent for an update appearing after the successor major release (10.4.11 followed 10.5), and in any case Apple's normal practice is to release security updates for the current and previous versions of Mac OS X.
The other side of that coin is that users of Mac OS X 10.4 (essentially those with early G3 and older hardware) shouldn't expect any further security patches after September.
As for Snow Leopard, work is proceeding apace, with developers receiving three builds in the space of two weeks. Judging from most reports, the latest changes are largely cosmetic.
