I HATE APPLE

I think the second, I'm on my cousins family plan but I still pay for my data plan ($15 for 200mb a month, there is a $25 option for 2 gigs a month)

if you get iphone 5s at a subsidized price though that means you are probably locked into a new 2 year contract on their terms

kk: shared minutes and texts, separate data plans

dayo the correct nomenclature is iphones 5

hahah

Other Bookmarks

wtf, I have been putting off bumping my MBP to 8GB of ram due to laziness and not feeling like spending cash, but it's only $50 for that! ordered.

oh really? I'm not even sure if mine supports it - have they added universal support under Lion?

kind of mad I talked my wife out of the Air now

bought a replacement apple express last week. got a free wireless router from virgin in interim.

would apple give me a refund on the airport?

yeah, if you've got the receipt and box

I'd definitely go for the refund based on this: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/09/12/apple_readying_second_generation_of_airport_express_802_11n.html

aces

i hear there is an express update coming soon. i have a line on an early 2011 airport express for $60.

how important is this next update? should i ask for less? should i just go for it right now?

how well does airport extreme + express + stereo work these days? i haven't had an airport since 2009 (ex-wife got the airports) but i recall not being able to stream music to the airport and use the internet at the same time. is that worked out yet?

Definitely works fine for me. I have a Time Capsule (extreme) and can stream to both an old express and an app etc at the same time while web browsing

refund get

apple assistant entered "buyer's remorse" as the reason on her return doohickey

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14926601

shame HTC don't believe in remorse eh

so wait his app is a list of jewish people?

Developer Johann Levy, who is Jewish, said the app was "recreational".

The maker of a mobile game highlighting the uglier side of electronics production has seen the game banned from Apple's App Store just hours after its release.

The creators of "Phone Story" describe it as a game that "attempts to provoke a critical reflection on its own technological platform."

According to the developer's website, the game involves a player in cartoon versions of real-world scenarios involving mineral mining in the Congo, the reported suicides of workers at an Apple manufacturer's plant in China, the "planned obsolescence" of tech gadgets and the resulting environmental impact.

My wife's MBA arrived today. She only took it out of the box because I kept hassling her. Her only opinion so far is that she hates how much the W key looks like an upside-down M.

To be fair she was grumpy as hell because (a) she's shit tired and (b) it forced her to enter her name, her address, her email address, her telephone number, her password and her fucking user photo before it would let her anywhere near the desktop.

AA referred to his wife as his wife!

It's a banner day on ilx!

oh I meant to mention, my wife finally set up her MBP on the 9th, while her sister was visiting, after her sister, her sister's partner and I all spent a good 5 minutes teasing her for leaving it in the box for 10 days

obv she now loves it

I had a firmware update the other day for my 4 month old MBP and just let it run like I have dozens of times before on every other Mac and somehow it totally bricked it - just dead, no screen, no anything other than the fan running at top speed. Brought it to the Apple store and they had to send it back to replace the logic board. I've heard that things like this can happen but I never thought they actually did.

women! am i right!

You can quit out of all the registration crap as soon as you enter your user account name and password. Don't believe that's changed in Lion.

I kept looking for a quit/skip/later option, couldn't find one.

You can just hit cmd-Q there and it'll ask you if you want to quit.

Oh god the magic cmd-Q option. Brilliant. Nice of them to make that obvious to the user.

yeah, there should be more options and UI elements in the first boot experience.

Not HATE APPLE but fuck it. If you buy Office for Mac 2011 Home & Student (1 user) you can't just pay the small difference to upgrade to the 3 user edition, you have to buy the whole fucking thing all over again. Cunce.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: absolutely nothing has happened since

I'll give you a hundred bucks for it.

$105, and I'll write you a fawning thank you note

When I installed the Office update I had to ask her three times just to enter her password. She was just sitting there. She wasn't doing anything. The Macbook was on her lap and I still had to ask her three times. I want a divorce.

women!

Next time she tries to check Facebook on the disintegrating old Ubuntu box and Unity crashes and she's all "waaah it's not woooorking can yoooou fix it" I will set fire to all her shoes.

$108.47 and a gift card to Payless Shoes that probably still has a few bucks on it

sounds like he'd rather have you take his wife....outdoors!!

haaa

in russia wife types password.

This happened. In 45 minutes she went from "it's too thin" to "wow it's so thin".

She stays indoors all the time, she probably has trouble recognizing proper levels of thin?

wheres my iphone5?

Lion. 2010 MBP battery life continues to be fucking disgusting and I could fry an egg on the base. Firefox (Flash?) and Reeder keep forcing it into discrete graphics mode for some reason.

don't use firefox!

If I close absolutely everything I get 10 hours. Ideally then I can't blame Lion BUT this never ever happened on 10.6.

10 hours is.... quite a lot?

... amazin?
