After all the speculation and whatnot, Apple has released the OS X 10.4.3 update into the wild. You can now download it. The file size is 97MB for users who are updating from 10.4.2 (like me) but if you’re a 10.4 and 10.4.1 user then it maybe more. According to Apple, this update includes fixes [...]

I just found this while looking over the posts on Joystiq on the past couple of days and I found it really interesting. Nick Puleo (from Evil Avatar) had a look at at the Xbox 360 kiosk in the Phillipsburg (NJ) Wal-Mart. He wanted to see what sort of juicy content he could take [...]
