Apple’s recently released professional photo software Aperture 3.0 has been causing a buzz alright, but not the kind Apple expected it would make.

The new software from Apple is allegedly causing the Mac hard drives to lock. The apparent leak bug in Aperture 3.0 is allowing the software to create big page files which take up all the available storage space on the Macs making them fail.

Apple forums has now been flooded with complaints of displeased Aperature 3.0 users, with one of them claiming how the upgrade has caused her Aperture to be unusable now.

Apple, however, has not yet taken a stand on the issue at the moment.

It won’t be easy to ignore the new 27-inch iMac, if you are just passing by a store; it jumps of the display window and catches your attention. It is the largest all-in-one currently available, and that it has a reasonable price tag relative to its size advantage.

The 27 inch iMac is prized at $1,699 and it has some compelling and polarizing features.
