Shuffle & MacBook Air Updates

The good part about Apple is that software updates can bring you features you never dreamed of having on your iPod or MacBook, but there's also a dark side of these software updates, since it can all end up with data losses, as it happened last year, with a certain iPhone software update. Anyway, today it's not about the iPhone, but about Apple's iPod shuffle and the notorious MacBook Air.


First, we have the SMC Update 1.0 for the MacBook Air, available here, which is supposed to fine tune the speed and operation of the internal fan of Apple's thinnest laptop. This application requires you to download 551KB of data, requires Mac OS X 10.5.1 or later, and will end up in the Applications/Utilities folder.

At last, there's the 1.0.4 firmware for the new 2GB iPod shuffle, delivering various unspecified bug fixes, as well as "enhanced support". This one can be downloader from this page.
