AI Thread Summary
To upgrade to version 10.5 from 10.4.11, a new purchase of 10.5 is required, as updates from 10.4.x to 10.5 involve a major version change. Minor updates, indicated by changes in the third component of the version number, can be downloaded for free. For Intel Mac users, it is advisable to hold off on purchasing 10.5 unless an urgent upgrade is necessary, as version 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") is expected to be announced soon and will offer improved efficiency for Intel Macs.

I was thinking if I have to buy new cd for getting 10.5 version or I can update to 10.5 from 10.4.11?
Eventually, I am installing iPhone dev SDK and was thinking if I need 10.5 for that ...

Thanks.

You have to buy 10.5 if you're at the 10.4.x level or below. When only the third component of the version changes, it's a "minor" update that you can download for free.

Suggestion: If you have an Intel Mac, don't buy 10.5 now unless you really need to upgrade in a hurry. There are rumors that 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") will be announced at MacWorld next week and will be available in the next couple of months. It's being designed to be significantly more efficient on Intel Macs.
 

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
