Apple just released updates to both iTunes and iPhoto… well there is also a Canon Printer Software Update but that seems rather irrelevant. As usual Apple is keeping tight lipped about what the updates bring but recommends all iPhoto and iTunes users to tun the update.

Looks like the rumors were true…. well sort of. Turns out instead of the January 26th Apple is holding their special event on January 27th showing off their “latest creation.” The event will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco, and will get underway at 10AM Pacific (6PM GMT)

Apple and every other software author that I’m aware of have always used the historic convention of 1024 bytes (B) in a kilobyte (kB), 1024kB in a megabyte (MB), 1024MB in a gigabyte (GB), and 1024GB in terabyte (TB). Hard disk manufacturer’s have always used the convention of 1000000000 B being 1 GB, instead of 1073741824 B being 1 GB.
On the introduction of OS X 10.6, Apple have adopted the convention used by hard disk manufacturers, as explained by Apple at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2419, updated the day before Snow Leopard became publicly available. This clouds the issue of space being recovered by installation of Snow Leopard, though that is undoubtedly true.
The difference increases to almost 10% when measuring terabytes. Confusion will surely ensue when comparing file sizes between Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs, not to mention Windows and Linux PCs. I sense that this has something to do with the previous legal cases over iPod capacities.

As reported at 9to5Mac, the larger on screen keyboard that comes with OS X 10.6 can be used with the multi-touch trackpad. This paves the way for a tablet Mac running full Mac OS X, not just a limited device using a scaled up iPhone OS.
When will this device be with us?
