New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

Wow 7.1.1 is fucking up my bttery life

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

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

i was just alluding to our friend elvis telecom's seeming lack of faith in gurman's reporting

this is like the weakest softball of reporting, so I don't think it's really that good?

"my friend at best buy sent me this picture of a box"

hahaha tl;dr tbh

just postin links

good on ya

i knew you'd appreciate it

Why would I even have faith in an Apple rumor site to begin with?

because he has good sources

i can't spend time defending this shit tonight, but let's just come back here during wwdc and see if os x gets a massive redesign or not and if it does you can buy me a mac pro all maxxed out

His accuracy is 45%. Let me know when he's better than flipping a coin.

TBF, I have the same attitude about all the Apple rumor sites. I've seen enough dubious renderings of "rumored products" from everyone that I can't be bothered.

A redesign of OS X is a safe prediction. Will it be demoed at WWDC? Don't care because I want a new file system instead of more b.s. piled on top of HFS+.

I have the impression that HFS+ is seriously locked-in unless there's a really major change needed. They've modified it enough....

Some dick stole my ipad. I replaced it on Wednesday. I noticed today that the glass is cracked in the corner. What the fuck.

lol wrong thread, oops

well, you got a new lust object, and now you're gonna get yet another
hope you got that applecare+, homie

What are you looking for out of a new FS? Some ZFS-type magic?

Personally I'd love it if Dropbox-type services were standardized and you could easily plug them in at the OS level, but it doesn't seem like that's the direction iCloud is going.

I'm not a ZFS-solves-all zealot, but at the very least I want the data/block checksumming and RAID stuff from ZFS as a start.

His accuracy is 45%. Let me know when he's better than flipping a coin.

is that including or excluding "scoops" from other sites that he's reporting on? because i think he addressed a point similar to this one on gruber's podcast.

also, for those on the sidelines, don't listen to our friend here -- gurman's work is worth following.

no xp

thanks for your worthless input

no.

oy vey.

There's some intriguing speculation that as SSD drives get cheaper and faster it would be possible to further blur and/or reinvent the delineations between RAM and storage.

Hm. As they get cheaper, they generally have a lower number of erase cycles, which means that they would get destroyed pretty quickly if used for RAM. I guess they put a LOT of extra memory in SSDs to cope with cells getting worn out.
