I HATE APPLE

getting a working licence code, from what i can tell.

only works in US ffs

i don't even know what SPSS is, how do you explain that?

It does statisticky stuff. I had to use it in psychology ~10 years ago, ugh.

I recently had liquid damage and they charged me 800$ to fix it. Even tho I had AppleCare.

I should be more angry, but I did spill the liquid on my Macbook :(

They fixed my liquid damage for free, but I did leave it for a while before I took it in and played the I don't know why my keyboard has stopped working/all the fans make grinding noises etc.

what's the deal with this immersion-sensor stuff, though? i thought that was specially designed so apple could go: "no wai, ed: at 11.08am on june 23 you poured liquid all over this ... tea with skimmed milk and two sugars, if i'm not mistaken." or something.

It was brandy in my case and clearly the immersion sensor did not get immersed even though half the keyboard and two fans got fritzed.

will keep this in mind in case next time i spill liquid on my computer, it does damage.

so basically brandy is ok to spill on it??

Not sure about all brandy but this one seems to be okay

looks good to me

what is the difference between armagnac and brandy?

armagnac is brandy from the armagnac region in south west france. That one is a personal favourite and it is still under 20 quid a bottle from Nicholas.

it's also the only mac-compatible kind apparently

So I lost the cable for connecting my iPod to my laptop. I’ve tried a few of my coworkers’ cables/charging stations but my iPod does not charge and my iTunes does not see my iPod. What the fuck. Do I just have to go to the Apple store and buy another one because there’s some bullshit proprietary “one iPod=one cable” thing involved here or what…? Anyone ever had this problem?

The only time this is a problem is if you try using the older Firewire cables -- they work for charging, but the Mac won't connect to most modern iPods: has to be USB.

I'm not using a Mac, I'm using a PC. I borrowed some of my coworkers USB cables and my iPod doesn't charge and my iTunes doesn't see the iPod. What the fuck. Is this like a generational problem or something?

Masturbation is expensive business.

lol

I recently had seed damage and they charged me 800$ to fix it. Even tho I had AppleCare.

I should be more angry, but I did spill the seed on my Macbook :(

Is this like a generational problem or something?

No. All the USB-iPod cables are identical. The dock port hasn't changed since the 3G iPod.

hmmm. I think I have a 4th Gen.

not all usb ports are powered

all my USB ports are working. my iPod was working prior to me losing the cable. I cannot find a cable that works. That is my problem.

was trying to use google video chat w/ my brother today on macbook and he couldn't hear me. actually he could hear a tiny bit of noise and something faint if i screamed HELLO. why doesn't my built-in mic work?

goto system prefs ---> Sound ---> Input

the mic volume might be turned down

nope, tried that. the input level thing blinks a tiny bit when it hears sound, but talking doesn't make it go up and down like normal.

maybe you're a spooky ghost?

yeah are you dead

hmmm, maybe. but it's not just my voice, he couldn't hear if i played music either.

your violin is a ghost violin

is my itunes a ghost itunes also :(

you are posting from the spirit world

i am alarmed....and also intrigued!

guys, this really sux. how am i going to video chat now?

It takes a REALLY long time for my Genius results to be sent and delivered. Like, 10-15 minutes.

OK, apple wireless networking question:

we have an airport extreme and an airport express. the airport extreme is upstairs in the living room, running an 802.11n network at 2.4 ghz. the airport express is downstairs, in a bedroom, connected to a stereo for itunes and a printer for wireless printing.

we just bought a time capsule, and i'm trying to figure out what to do with it.

1) run a parallel network on 5-ghz 802.11n only, with the airport express extending this network. keep the airport extreme on 2.4 ghz for an old powerbook and for iphones.

2) put it in a different spot downstairs and use it to extend the existing network.

3) ??

For what it's worth, I get a lot better performance outta 5GHz than 2.4.

put it in a different spot downstairs to extend network. that's what I do.

Will somebody please talk me out of buying an iPhone???

Extending the network kills performance every time I've tried it.

don't get an iPhone, if you have to have that stuff just get an ipod touch and save yourself hundreds and hundreds of dollars

^^

I told my wife as I went out to run an errand yesterday, "If you need me for anything, just message me through Facebook."

extending the network works fine for me. Check your settings. I think you set it to "bridge" or some shit.

don't get an iPhone, if you have to have that stuff just get an ipod touch and save yourself hundreds and hundreds of dollars

the ipod touch is not a phone

also an iphone is $199, so you mean hundred and hundred of dollars

The only thing putting me off of an iTouch is you have to be near a hotspot. I'd love to get a data-only plan for an iPhone somehow.
