Apple Releases Patch to Fix Power, USB Problems in MacBooks
Apple quietly released an update for recently released MacBook Air and MacBook Pro devices.
Simply called the "MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 1.0", the 77 MB download for OS X 10.7.4 addresses power consumption and USB compatibility issues that have affected buyers of notebooks that were released last month.
Apple maintained its tradition and remained secretive about the changes and possible effects, and simply stated that "this update fixes an issue that can lead to increased CPU power consumption, and it improves compatibility with some USB devices."
There was no information what may have caused the power problem and how much the fix will improve the power consumption performance of the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. Apple Insider noted that there have been several complaints about USB port failures with "certain" external hard drives.

Of course to be honest that really isn't saying much since I'd also use an abacus before I gave Apple any money towards a computer and two cups and a string before I gave them anything towards a phone.
And yea, I realize that's a little over the top but, that's just how deep it goes!
NOT.

Smells like a service pack to me! =D
I find it disgusting how they don't even state what exactly was improved and by how much.
On the bright side, at least they actually did something about it.
NOT.
Dude it's the economy. Importing Unicorn dust from Rainbowland is expensive and their looking to cut costs. Paying Indian programmers to fix the problem is cheaper then importing Unicorn Dust from Rainbowland. So sad when you've gotta actually resort to fixing problems rather then making them magically go away. What's the world coming to, next they'll be fixing security loopholes and antivirus software, the shame of it.
Anti-apple holy war on the forums by a bunch of sexless, pubescent, teens...

"And yea, I realize that's a little over the top but, that's just how deep it goes!" LMAO!!!!
Next, we'll have updates about my roommate's Dell Optiplex and it's power supply.
Can we have real news updates that don't appear a week before on other sites and less of this crap. Tom's, I love you, but this isn't news (Unless your planning on posting this for every hardware company). My Belkin USB hub had a firmware update this week, why didn't you post about that? LMAO
LMAO
