MacBook Air bugs addressed by OS X 10.6.5

Software

Earlier this month, BGR exclusively confirmed that Apple was working on fixes for a string of troublesome MacBook Air bugs. The issues were widespread, and they involved a variety of problems with display flickering, fading and discoloration when affected notebooks woke from sleep. Internal documents revealed by BGR suggested that the problems would be addressed by an upcoming software update and as expected, OS X 10.6.5 appears to have resolved the bugs described in those documents. Apple also issued a new support document on the matter. While Apple’s description of the issues does not appear to encompass all of the problems reported earlier this month, we have confirmed with several affected users that these bugs no longer occur on their devices.

      Must be a hollow victory, considering that you’re still queer.

    we cannot blame other company about the bugs on their products,it simply because sometimes,bugs cannot be detected unless it’s been used by the customer..that’s why other products have a beta version..

    Apple should have done more US testing prior to release.
