9 to 5 Mac have some plausible specifications on the newly rumoured Apple TV that was discovered in the latest iOS beta. They're saying the new Apple TV might include Bluetooth 4.0, which brings lower power consumption than any of its predecessors. It also happens to be the same spec Bluetooth found in the iPhone 4S, which leads 9 to 5 Mac to hypothesise that eventually the two (or any other future devices, for that matter) could communicate and exchange information.
In new software releases today is the release of Alfred, the personal assistant for your Mac. Alfred has been along for a while now, but it only hit version 1.0 very recently — and if you enjoy using Spotlight but wish it had just a few more features, or a little extra functionality, Alfred might just be the butler on your Mac you've been looking for.
Safari 5.1.2 has been released, and the release notes says that it improves stability and memory problems, as well as fixing a bug that affected the viewing of PDFs within web pages. It's available as a smallish download from Software Update right now, or directly from the Apple website.
Over at the Verge there's a nice little collection of favourite Safari extensions. For some reason people still don't know you can get extensions with Safari, nor do they know that good extensions actually exist; this post aims to rectify that by introducing you to some of the best extensions around.
