+Apple has released an small, incremental update for OS X. Mac OS X 10.4.10 patches a security flaw and fixes some issues with Bluetooth and USB, as well as adding RAW image support for eight new cameras. Users can grab the update via the Software Update pane or stright from [the Apple download site][1].
+
+The security issue addressed in the update relates to the IPv6 addressing system. Apple's [short security note][2] says the following:
+
+>A design issue exists in the IPv6 protocol's handling of type 0 routing headers. Depending on network topology and capacity, the reception of specially crafted IPv6 packets may lead to a reduction in network bandwidth. This update addresses the issue by disabling the support for type 0 routing headers. This issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.4.
+
+Other changes in 10.4.10 include fixes for corruption problems in DNG images and some reliability improvements for external USB hard drives. The additional camera RAW support adds profiles for Panasonic, Leica, Fuji, Nikon, and Canon cameras.
+
+There is also a fix for a decimal rounding error which Apple says affects "some applications," but no further details are available.
+
+Apple-heads interested in trivia will note that this is the first time Apple has released a tenth upgrade for its OS, the rest have stopped at 9 or lower before being replaced by a whole new version.

+Apple continues its strip tease of iPhone features with some new details [posted to the Apple site][1]. New videos demonstration multi-tasking features, the multi-touch interface, the OS X underpinnings, the wireless capabilities (EDGE, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) and the different sensors that enable the rotating screen.
+
+Highlights include the view of the options that appear on the screen while making a phone call and the seemingly seamless switching between phone, email and photo modes.
+
+There's are also a number of [new photos in the iPhone gallery][2] including some of the dock and headphones.
+
+If your iPhone lust knows no bounds this probably isn't gonna cut it, but at least there's a little something to tide you over until June 29th.

+The Open Source Initiate (OSI), overseer of open source licenses, has decided to go on the offensive against companies and services who abuse the term "open source" to promote products and software that do not use an OSI approved license.
+
+Michael Tiemann, President of the OSI, [writes in a post on the ISO site][1] that the changing landscape of software development combined with deceptive practices by vendors necessitate a more stringent policy.
+
+>The topic of "what is really open source and what is not?" has been simmering for quite some time. And until last year the question was trivial to answer, and the answer provided a trivial fix. But things have changed, and it's time to regain our turf.
+
+As Tiemann outlines the problems and abuses of the term "open source," he points the finger primarily at vendors who claim to offer open source software, but use licenses that don't have ISO approval.
+
+According to Tiemann, the last year and half has seen vendors move from correcting ignorance or misunderstandings to outright hostile responses to the ISO.
+
+The biggest challenge many vendors lob at the ISO is, predictably, "our definitions of open source are every bit as valid as yours."
+
+For the record, Tiemann has no problem with non-open-source software. "If people want to try something that's not open source, great," he writes, but he goes on to add that they should "call it something else, as Microsoft has done with Shared Source."
+
+As the overseer of open source licenses, the ISO has stringent definition of the rights an open source license must guarantee as well as the control it can exercise. Here's the basic summary, but [read through the full definitions on the ISO site][2] for a more thorough explanation of each item.
+
+
+>1. Free Redistribution
+2. The program must include source code, and must allow distribution
+in source code as well as compiled form.
+3. The license must allow modifications and derived works
+4. Integrity of The Author's Source Code
+5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups
+6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor
+7. The rights attached to the program must apply to all to whom
+the program is redistributed without the need for execution of
+an additional license by those parties.
+8. License Must Not Be Specific to a Product
+9. License Must Not Restrict Other Software
+10. License Must Be Technology-Neutral
+
+[For a complete list of licenses that meet these terms, [see the ISO list][3]]
+
+In the past the ISO has dealt with companies who use the term open source to describe proprietary software by correcting them with letters and other "polite" means, but that may be changing.
+
+The ISO is not planning to take vendor abuses lying down.
+
+Tiemann thinks that he and the ISO have "been remiss in thinking that gentle but firm explanations would cause [vendors] to change their behavior."
+
+He goes on to suggest that some of the misinformation about open source comes from the press. "I have also not chased down and attempted to correct every reporter who propagates these misstatements."
+
+Tiemann believes that if the ISO and the community in general doesn't start taking the initiative, open source customers, who find themselves betrayed by unscrupulous vendors, will come to distrust the community as a whole. "If we don't respond... we are betraying the community."

+Yahoo is set to roll out an upgrade to its free mobile suite of services with improved search, e-mail and photo management as well as other enhancements. Dubbed [Yahoo Go for Mobile 2.0][1], the service has been in a test phase since its introduction back in January, but this Friday Yahoo will drop the test mode and make the service available to anyone in the U.S.
+
+Along with the official version for U.S. customers Yahoo will roll out a beta version in 13 additional countries.
+
+Yahoo Go for Mobile 2.0 is free to download and the company says the service will support more than 200 different mobile phones at launch and will add 200 more by the end of the year.
+
+Improvements in the new version include speed boosts as well as some new features like support for more attachments in Yahoo Mail (including PDF, Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents) and access to folders within Yahoo Mail.
+
+Yahoo is also touting improvements to its [OneSearch Mobile][3] tool as well as the mobile mapping features. Mobile 2.0 now supports satellite and hybrid map views and includes real-time traffic information and GPS services on devices that support it.
+
+Curiously absent from Yahoo's preview announcement is any mention of the iPhone, but if you're a heavy Yahoo user on your current device the mobile upgrade should be good news.
+
+And we'll be sure to give Yahoo's claims some real-world testing when the new software is available. If you'd like to check out the hype, Yahoo has posted a [video intro][2] that gives an overview of the service.
