Hey folks!
Microsoft released Silverlight 4.0.51204, which is a “functional, performance, reliability and security improvement” to the Silverlight browser plugin. You can obtain the latest version from Windows Update if you have it installed. A reboot is not required, but restarting all of your browsers is.

Apple released OSX updates for Lexmark and Canon printer drivers, RAW compatibility, AirPort Base Station, Time Capsule, and LED Cinema displays. This includes security updates. Use the Apple Updater to obtain most downloads, or get the files directly from:

Important Notes
Everything above this section should be checked by everyone on every computer. Chances are good that close to every single computer you touch will be affected by those updates. This is not the case with the items below, though you should still check each line item below to see if it applies to software you have installed.
Please remember that while I list many different applications within these updates, most people should ONLY install updates for a program if they already have a previous version of that program installed.
It is essential to maintain all the applications you have installed on your computer, but often you can minimize the time investment and the potential for exploitation simply by uninstalling software you do not need.
Browser Updates
