Apple released a slew of software updates yesterday. First up was EFI updates for the iMac, Mac Mini, and MacBook Pro, all including fixes for Lion Internet Recovery, with the iMac version of the update actually adding support for Lion Internet Recovery on the 2011 iMac (with Thunderbolt). IPhoto 9.1.2 was also released in order to address an issue with a specific video codec, and finally, QuickTime 7.7.1 for Windows was also released in order to address some security issues.
Pixelmator, the very popular image editing app for the Mac, has been updated to version 2.0. The new version has heaps of cool new features, like a new look and feel, drawing tools and shapes, and, of course, complete support for Lion. Pixelmator 2.0 is available in the Mac App Store right now for $38.99, and is a free upgrade for any users who purchased the previous version through the Mac App Store.
If you're reading this, then there's a good chance that iTunes Match data has already been wiped, as per the email sent out to developers a few days ago. MacRumors speculates that the wipe is due to Apple preparing for a worldwide launch of iTunes Match — which may or may not include countries like Australia and New Zealand.
Over at the Made By Many blog there's a post that discusses Apple's aesthetic dichotomy. As much as Jony Ive designs computers and devices to be as minimalistic as possible, the software is where creativity runs rampant.
