APPLE HAS RELEASED a patch for a problem that its fanboys have assured the world plus dog does not exist on Steve Jobs' bug ridden Snow Leopard operating system. In a statement, Apple said that a feature in Snow Leopard causes the hard drive to "pause", which sounds like the computer is just sticking a pen its mouth to contemplate the nature of reality before it continues at its normal breakneck speed.

In fact the problem is more like what other PC users call a crash and it is bloody annoying. Like most Apple confessions of poor quality, its statement says that the problem of philosophical Macbooks only affects a small number of users. In other words it's just those Mac computers that believe in "thinking differently", just like Steve Jobs has always told them to.

The problem impacts MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2009), MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009), MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009), MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009), MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009), - MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008), MacBook (13-inch, Mid 2009), MacBook (13-inch, Early 2009, MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008), MacBook Air (Mid 2009), MacBook Air (Late 2008), iMac (20-inch, Mid 2009), iMac (24-inch, Early 2009, iMac (20-inch, Early 2009) and the Mac mini (Early 2009). Not that many after all, so that's alright then, innit?

Of course Apple has not released something as mundane as a patch to fix the problem. In its lights only lowly Windows users have to suffer patches. Rather than patch its shoddy software workmanship, Apple has instead released what it calls a "performance update", presumably because making a computer work right improves its performance.

Snow Leopard was supposed to be to Leopard what Windows 7 was to Vista, however it is proving to have even more bugs than its predecessor.
