Apple today released Mac OS 10.3.7.  The update brings improvements to graphics card drivers, Firewire device compatibility and numerous other bug fixes.  Weighing in at a mere 17.1 MB this is a small update in comparison to older ones.  But I suspect it may be an important one for a lot of people who had some problems with 10.3.6.

Apple has officially announced the opening of the Canadian iTunes Music Store. Songs cost 99 cents Canadian, or roughly 84 cents US, which makes �the cost-per-song the lowest of all available localizations of the store.�, according to MacRumors.

News.com.com reports that Apple is opening a retail store in Toronto in 2005, their first in Canada.  There’s no word on other Canadian locations, but it’s a step in the right direction.  I just wish there were one on my side of the continent!

Aspyr has put up the preliminary system requirements for Doom 3 on it’s website. The most interesting of them is that it will require at least a 1.5Ghz G5. This means that only the iMac G5 and Power Mac G5 can run it, with all apple portables being left out. For more info visit the Aspyr Website.

The Coding Monkeys have released version 2.1.1 of their collaborative text editor SubEthaEdit. I suggest you download this app as it is a very good OSX app with many great features. It’s also what I wrote this site in if you are interested
