Didn't see any word on battery life fixes in 10.8.2 - any notes on this?

Yes. According to various news outlets, battery life improves significantly with 10.8.2.

Finally input type="file" (file uploading) is supported on iPhone/iPad/iTouch devices natively in mobile Safari. About darn time - took how many years?

Even Nintendo got this right, on the 3DS of all things.

Thanks. Might we get back to Snow Leopard levels? I'm still on SL, and have been wary of upgrading due to the reported significant battery life drops in Lion, then ML.

Is this link US only or something? It only brings me to the unspectacular regular support page: http://i.imgur.com/g6fFz.png Is there another, better, link available?

I'm in the US and I get the same thing. No update available for me for OS X or for iOS. I'm guessing they do a rolling update...?

Anyone know when XCode 4.5 will be out?

I checked this morning. It's on the developer website, but still in preview mode.

The native iOS 6 Maps are just short of wretched. No transit directions, unhelpful default views, a dramatically weaker points of interest database, weaker scrolling performance, and a busier UI that doesn't add anything of great use.

It's a rather big turd in an otherwise delicious punchbowl, and it is going to become a real-world talking point about iPhones starting today.
