Microsoft Office 2008 and TuningPoint software have compatibility Issues
Micrsoft Office 2008 and Turning Technologies Macintosh based version of TurningPoint are not currently compatible. TurningPoint is an audience response software used in conjunction with "clickers". TurningPoint software uses VB scripting and depends on certain program files. Microsoft has deprecated VB scripting in Microsoft Office 2008 and has moved program files within the application.
Both will install, but TurningPoint will not open. An error stating that PowerPoint cannot be found occurs.
TurningPoint has verbally acknowledged this issue in a support call and stated that they are working on
a new version that is due out in the 2cd quarter of 2008.
Microsoft Office 2004 is fully compatible with current and past versions of TurningPoint software.

Apple has released an update/upgrade to it's Safari browser.
I tested the new version of Safari on some our our hardware and images on Campus and
found little or no problems. AARC, eLearning, WebMail, Kronos. I found that the new version
is wicked fast.
So far I have found no terminal failures or problems.
For eLearning, there were two instances where I had to reset Safari to get eLEarning's browser check
to complete. One Mac was a Mac Book Pro, running 10.5.2 and the other was a G5 tower running 10.4.11. Probably resetting the Cache, instead of completely resetting Safari would have been sufficient. eLearning worked fine regardless. To "reset Safari", go to the Safari menu item and choose reset Safari.
There have been posts on websites and forums of quite a few people having issues after upgrading.

I have not seen or personally heard of any of the issues that this article describes.
