New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

usb cables too, which sounds stupid until you see how much they'd charge you for a new one

everyone otm about applecare. If you don't have it though, I feel like the genius bar people have a bit more latitude than online/telephone support to replace bits and pieces out of warranty.

FYI iPhone applecare only lasts two years, i.e. warranty year + one more year

apple is so 80s

Markers are you on 10.9.3

no, one previous (.2)

why?

huh! https://appleseed.apple.com/sp/betaprogram

lol no thanks

So does this mean I don't have to pay the 99 bucks for ADC OSX?

I think they give you minor version betas, not major version betas

It'd be worth it if you were really waiting for a fix and it was being tested

maybe I should say patch betas, considering 10 is technically still the major version :/

I'm just complaining. My goal is to get stuff on the OSX app store and ADC is required for that.

then again, who knows, maybe it's all betas because nobody wants to beta test OS X

i certainly don't

so many software updates: new version of ios, pages, spotify i think, new twitter profiles

is icloud still booty?

i don't know what you mean by "booty" there, but it doesn't always work.

no idea if this will help

notes won't sync properly sometimes between the mac and my ipad

iMessage and photo stream syncing both seem to be fucked for me right now :/

really gives third-party developers motivation to use their syncing

i tried to use icloud documents for the first time this week.

it doesn't work?

I hate how software updates just tell you to restart your cmoputer

And they don't tell you what they fucked with

I just restarted but I don't know why :\

just got done listening to the newest episode of gruber's podcast

so, 10.10 is gonna get an ios 7-ish redesign

not kidding. mark gurman (who was on the show) has reported on this before, i think

here's the link in case slocki's reading: http://www.muleradio.net/thetalkshow/79/

That's sick as hell and I'm really pumped

if a single ui element appears flatter, they will declare victory

if none appear different, it will be evidence that they couldn't come up with a good implementation of that for the desktop

claim bisque, a la gruber

here's why all the updates, btw: https://twitter.com/fredericjacobs/status/458676328573980672

Wow 7.1.1 is fucking up my bttery life

http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-drain

My solution was battery case.

More LOLZ at namechecking Gurman

tea leaf readers

I feel like "scoops" and speculation about what products could be released is the race to the bottom as far as blog traffic/ad impressions go. It's the most valueless thing, because even if true, it doesn't give any sense of value.

They're not without faults, but I'd rather read a lot more sites like The Verge or in-depth changelogs like the Ars Technica OS X feature rundowns than sit there ping-ponging between tech blogs and nerding out over exactly how many quarter inches the next phone will be.

just follow mark gurman

Apple just announced a 7-for-1 stock split. Wow!

first in nine years according to someone on twitter (can't remember who)

I noticed ios 7.1.1 turns on bluetooth even if you had it turned off before. that might contribute to battery drain.

Aha! Thanks. That explains a few things about my battery this week. It also turned on "use cellular data for" for every app I own.

i hope that's a bug because if that's default behavior that's fucked up

Maybe a bug? I didn't notice it here, but the permanent GPS marker is disconcerting.

I upgraded this morning and bluetooth did not go on.

HEY GUYS, HERE'S A 9 TO 5 MAC POST

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN HANDLE IT

http://9to5mac.com/2014/04/28/new-macbook-airs-likely-launching-tomorrow/

should be easy enough to see whether this rumor is legit or not!!

just a spec bump, pff

24 hour notice is basically "some guy spotted these mid-shipment" or "they are sitting in the back of my Apple store" and not so rumory
