I HATE APPLE

yes 'site new answers' keeps appearing in my browser despite my firm intention for it not to..

you mean there's a gap between menubar and windows? no. powerbook running leopard here

ha

i guess the picture isn't really clear -- the status bar at the top of the screen that has time/battery/life etc etc just goes black so i can't really see anything unless i click on it, then it turns blue

nice timing on the thread revive, i just paid $200 for a new 3gs because replacing a shattered screen would have cost the same. wtf

happens sometimes, I usually switch apps and then everything is clear

Suitcase and Font Agent Pro and others do the same, people have their preferences. Font Explorer has a few issues as a relatively young program, but it's more robust and powerful while being easier to use then the other two, I think.

Just as another data point here, I use FontCase and it's totally happy with the 16000K plus fonts I've got on standby.

Quick dumb question: does the iTunes store sell songs in lossless format?

Nope, just high bitrate AAC

A security scan at Kansai International Airport, near Osaka, detected the weapons inside the executive's carry-on luggage in July as he was returning home to the U.S. from a family vacation in Kyoto, the Japanese magazine reported, citing unidentified officials at the airport and the transportation ministry.

Jobs said it wouldn't make sense for a person to try to hijack his own plane, according to the report. He then told officials he would never visit Japan again, the magazine reported. Apple declined to comment.

An airport spokesperson confirmed that an incident similar

it wouldn't make sense? did 9/11 not happen or something?

"the weapons"

can I just . . .

Steve Jobs Stopped at Japan Airport Over Ninja Stars, SPA! Magazine Says

“Steve did visit Japan this summer for a vacation in Kyoto, but the incidents described at the airport are pure fiction,” said Steve Dowling, a spokesman for the company. “Steve had a great time and hopes to visit Japan again soon.”

Takeshi Uno, a spokesman at Kansai airport, said a passenger using a private jet was stopped at the end of July for carrying “shuriken,” the Japanese word for Ninja throwing stars and other handheld blades. The passenger, whom Uno declined to identify because of the airport’s privacy policy, threw away the blades, he said. The airport doesn’t have separate boarding arrangements for private-jet users, Uno said.

hey apple thx for making yer fancy new iphone folders broken so they disappear after updating to 4.1 u goddamn douchebags

haven't tried this yet but will report back after i give it a shot after work: http://gorumors.com/ios/solution-ios-4-restore-removes-app-folders/105347

also daer game center - u r the ugliest thing i have ever seen

mine didn't disappear but i've still got a 3GS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8FS03ddILY

nah ive still got a 3gs as well - i have no idea why mine did it, perhaps i am just lucky or special

ok dont do that fix i linked up there unless you want to lose uh literally everything on your iphone.

fuuuuuuuuck. ilxors w/yer number in my phone, you better go ahead and text it to me because shit is all gone.

what is the deal w/ itunes 10? its a downgrade in every possible way. dull colors, tacky font, and my album art size has been significantly reduced. "Large" artwork is literally the size of a quarter! im such a tool for not using foobar/winamp tho, i just can't really kick not using itunes, slow as it is.

it is awful

i think the grand idea is that the desktop is a "server" or a place for storing digital stuff, while your iphone/ipad is the consuming medium. so fancying up the UI isn't necessary if it's not integral to the listening/watching experience.

i.e., YOU SHOULD HAS IPAD

those bastards!

but then again, not that i've seen it, but i assume ipad music player is just a cover art flow? i find those incredible obnoxious. its only cool if you're trying to impress somebody with the immensity of your music collection, otherwise it's far too much swiping movements for what's needed.

goddamn steve jobs ruining music again

no cover flow on the ipad. typical resolution album art looks like tish. kind of a bummer that itunes LP hasn't become prevalent.

Listening to John Gruber's podcast. It starts with a I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE USE ANONYMOUS INTERNET HANDLES THAT ARE NOT THEIR REAL NAMES AS THEY ARE NOT SIMPLE AND ARE COMPLICATED rant and moves on to a THIS IS WHY THE COMPLICATED AND UGLY TWITTER WEBSITE IS DESIGNED BY BABOONS bit and then I realise only five minutes of the hour and a half show have passed so I delete the download and wonder what the fuck I was thinking in trying to listen to Gruber's podcast.

I was bemused to find out that Gruber records a podcast since we all know they're just amateur hour.

it's a fantastic podcast imo

does his ranting suddenly become entertaining with the sound of his actual voice?

Does he sound like Lewis Black?

dudes want £96 to fix my ipod classic :(

any uk apple dudes here had to replace a 60w macbook charger before? i broke the missus' and i can't believe it's gonna cost me a pink note to replace it :(

there's all sorts of dodgy looking ones for £20-£30 on ebay and amazon but i don't really want to set her on fire or anything tbh - any other ways round it?

to get an official one? not that i was able to find. you can sometimes save a few quid on ebay compared to the apple store, but they don't really depreciate.

so, did anybody else get the nvidia recall notice for their "santa rosa" MBP?

i have been getting scrambled video and really bad screen tearing on "top sites" ever since safari 5.0 went to 5.0.1, and since going to 5.0.2 i get the same thing whenever i have flash running in multiple tabs (say if i have youtube video in two different tabs). i figured this was software-side but since getting the notice i've been thinking otherwise.

i just wonder whether it is worth the trouble if it's not really affecting core system performance.

I haven't, but mine does the same thing. Let me know if you find out anything.

Never mind - mine is an ATI card that does the same thing. Was told I needed a new board because my graphics chip is dying. No point in spending multiple hundreds to fix it at this point.

Ugh. I dont know if this has anything to do with that but im so sick of photobooth recording without sounds. LAME

lol

you're all clearly enraptured by the windows phone 7 launch

techtool deluxe tells me my VRAM is failing. i am still under applecare. do i take it in?

oh, and this is one of the ones with a recalled nvidia geforce card too

DO IT

Apple patents 'anti-sexting' technology:

http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/mobile/10/13/apple.sexting.patent/index.html?hpt=T2

Do you think this kind of technology will bring about the end of sexting and SMS slang?

wish magic mouse could do expose like the last one :(

When I first saw the news that the new Airs are shipping without Flash, it occurred to me this might account for some of their striking gains over the previous models in battery life. However, Apple told me that their “wireless productivity” battery life test was performed with Flash Player installed on the new MacBook Air models.

WHY'S MY FUCKING MBP SO SLOW

this is a four GB ram / 2.66 ghz model. it was almost top of the top of the line just three years ago. now what?

i'm just trying to run a safari, pages, mail, itunes and ical at the same time. and newsfire and ichat. and things and omnifocus. i don't even have illustrator and numbers or keynote open.

so why's this thing so fucking slow? is i7 so much better than core 2 duo? is a 3MB L3 cache that much better than an 6MB L2 cache?

don't get me started on iphoto.

is it because i have 10 gigs of HD space left?
