Apple put the questions to rest of when Mac OS 10.5.3 update is coming out by dropping it on Leopard users today.
The Mac OS X 10.5.3 Update and Mac OS X 10.5.3 Combo Update are available via Software Update or by visiting the support page and downloading. Either way the download will be a rather hefty 420 MB package. The update boasts over 70 changes and fixes to the system, Mail, iChat, iCal, AirPort and more. The full scoop on what’s changed is also available on Apple’s website.
Any time Apple updates Mac OS X, they update Mac OS X Server. Sure enough, the Mac OS X Server 10.5.3 Update and the Mac OS X Server 10.5.3 Combo Update are also ready to roll!

Do you like to tinker? Sure you do.
Koingo Software has unveiled Mac Pilot 3; a new version of their OS X tinker tool. Version 3 sees the addition of approximately two hundred new features and enhancements–yeah, that’s two hundred new features. If we update the feature tote board, the total number of features in Mac Pilot now exceeds six hundred.
What does Mac Pilot do? It allows you to access hidden options that customize the Dock, Finder, Safari, and numerous other Apple and third party applications with little more than a mouse click. You could probably access a lot of these options with Terminal commands or with a bunch of obscure freeware apps, but Mac Pilot rolls all that functionality into a nice neat little package.
Mac Pilot 3 is fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, as well as Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. All features in the application come with documentation, and a reset function to reverse any unwanted changes which may have been made.
The upgrade to Mac Pilot 3 is free for users who had purchased Mac Pilot 1.x/2.x after October 31, 2007. Additionally, owners of Koingo Software’s Software CD or Utility Package get this update for free as well. If these conditions don’t apply, a small CDN$9.95 upgrade fee is required. New users can buy the product for CDN$19.95.
