Tiger FC1 has new desktop picture

8A425 sports new "Aqua Blue" and "Aqua Graphite" desktop pictures. While not a drastical change from Panther's or Jaguar's, this is yet another sign that Tiger has definitely moved into the Final Candidate phase.
The new build of Tiger also sports a few other new desktop pictures. Among them a "clownfish" picture.

Apple seeds 10.3.9 7W87

This new build is considered to be the final version of 10.3.9. With Tiger in its FC phase, 10.3.9 is also considered to be the final update to Panther. The release of 10.3.9 is imminent, although Apple could keep it under wraps until the week ends to make sure that no new bugs pop up (and should one pop up, 10.3.9's release would be postponed, of course).
