It would be nice to finally have Facebook intergration on the Mac enabled. Fixes to Messages cant hurt either....

The latest beta released this week is very nice. Liking the FB integration.

It's nice if you use FaceBook... but 10.8.2 12C35 still doesn't fix the email reply bug...

What reply bug?

What reply bug?

If you have multiple email addresses configured, then run rules to move messages out of the inbox and into other folders, and then reply to a message, the reply is not sent from the same email address to which the original email was sent.

It's more fully described here:

I use outlook 2011, so I don't have that issue. I think the facebook notifications work very well, but I don't understand why when they don't clear themselves. If I get a notification from someone and I don't click on it and go straight to facebook, it should clear that notification. iOS has the same stupid issue. Clear notifications once the action has been completed automatically.

Let me know when they fix the screensaver so that you are again allowed to choose your entire Photos folder, and not only a subfolder.

What do you mean? I go to screen savers, choose whichever photo option, and I click on iPhoto library and it takes them all.

Good question... the current beta (12C50) is NOT GM... but not sure that they do a GM release for "point" releases of OS X. I've been running the beta for about 3 days now with no issues to report. Could be close.

Think they'll drop the OSX update along side iOS6?

I think/hope so. There are some iOS specific changes in 10.8.2, so they should drop together. If not, I'd be really surprised... and it will certainly follow closely, if not concurrent with...
