OS X and iTunes updates released
Lifehacker points out that there are 2 updates awaiting Mac users in their Software Update system preference panel. One closes a (somewhat overblown) security hole in OS X and the other is an update for iTunes to 6.0.4.
The security update requires a restart, so plan accordingly.

Douglas,
I have found Apple pretty closed about what changes are occuring in iPod patches.
Probably because a lot of them relate to DRM.
The last time I was offered an upgrade on iPod, I was hosed for a week, and had to go to an Apple rep to assist. Pretty gun shy to do this again.
Is there a documentation location where Apple provides a little more info about the install process / changes?

I have not experienced any issues with iPod updaters using my old Gen 1 iPod, but some people have been reporting issues.
This update is only for iTunes itself, though, and not a firmware update for the iPod itself.
I loaded this update this morning and have not seen any adverse results at this time. I will let you know if I run into anything, though.
Unfortunately, the documentation provided by Apple for the update is very terse and not very informative.
