Come again?
TheRegister says that mobile phone users switch carriers rather than phone numbers to avoid mobile spam. (SMS and MMS.) How's that work? Sure, I'll switch providers if that's any use, but if a spammer has my number, how's switching providers and _keeping_ my number going to save me? Gladly, SMS and MMS still cost money, whereas E-Mails don't. So I guess we won't see mobile spam as much as a problem as E-Mail spam.

Mac OS X 10.3.8 Combo Updater available
You can get it from this page. The ~100 MB download will let you update any version from 10.3.0 on upwards directly to 10.3.8, including all security updates up until now. If you're ever going to reinstall your Mac, you'll be faster using this than updating your machine through Software Update to the current version.

Mac OS X 10.3.8 7U16 released
A bit earlier than anticipated, Apple has released Mac OS X 10.3.8. After 7U15, Apple has only changed some minor localisation issues, according to developers. The software download is variable in size, depending on the status of your machine. 27.7 MB for 10.3.7 systems with all the latest updates, bigger if you're still on 10.3.6 or earlier.
