New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

otfm

the worst is when conference organisers or the like get butthurt about being called out on their shit and come over all "we just selected the very best proposals and they all happened to be from white guys like us so we are powerless what do you want?"

In other Apple news, they've cut their orders for iPhone 5 screens by half, reportedly. I never did like it; the screen seems too long. Screenshots from it always seem weird.

bom, tish

Apple need to fix LTE so it's properly global before I buy a 5

it's not a real software developer presentation unless you can include pictures of women in bikinis in your presentation slides

tl;dr should I share my music library info with apple;

is getting itunes to DL the missing album art "worth it"

Related to this: if I let it get me album art

1. will it recognize albums wherein the tracks and number of tracks are the same as issued but I've retagged the artist, genre etc names? (This is almost everything in my collection)
2. if yes to 1., when adding the artwork will it switch all the tags back to its own preferred ones, away from my customized ones?
3. will it recognize incomplete albums?
4. Will I go to Ga'Hoole?

1. sometimes
2. no
3. sometimes
4. no

1. in my experience no

this was posted on the Chicago thread, but i thought it was worth sharing more.

I never did like it; the screen seems too long.

otm, I don't know how many times I've almost dropped the bloody thing trying to reach the far corner with one hand

was that Death Grips?

Apple Store with a drive-through, now I've seen everything.

oh god. just saw sna, taking it back. ever so sorry.

(zing doesn't betray the degree of the shitstorm)

SO I was watching QVC last night and they were selling apple products in the craziest freakin' colors like metallic lavender, metallic red etc and their special of the day was the iPad 4th generation. Is this isn't iPad 4, right? Just iPad 3 with different connectors?

No, it has a faster processor too.

was wishing I had the ipad 4's A6X processor while playing the walking dead

http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/31/3937442/apple-discontinuing-mac-pro-in-europe-over-regulatory-standards wtf

hopefully the redesign will sidestep the violated reg?

reg is hardly new, seems weird that they didn't fix it in the last bump.

128GB ipad 4 coming next week

My iMac has finally shipped from Shanghai!

there should really be more of an alert that your machine is booting into safe mode than a small banner near the top of a login screen; I spent a good 90 minutes yesterday convinced that I'd gotten a virus that had ruined all javascript sites in Chrome and had vaporized my CD drive before I remembered and rebooted

My wife's left Shift key on her MBP has gotten a weird glitch now where it thinks its being pressed at random times. Her puter booted up into safe mode a bunch of times, then wouldn't take her password, before we figured out what was happening. Anyone know a not-permanently-destructive way to disable that key?

plugging a USB keyboard in shouldn't disable the built-in, but I'd try it anyway to see if it affects the behavior at all.

first comment here might help? xp http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=2011051714140216

I'm sure it was the first thing you tried, but have you tapped on that key like there's no tomorrow? I've experienced a gummed up key or two in my day, not necessarily due to any foreign object or substance, just the springiness getting stuck. Sometimes you can dislodge it.

Yeah she's sometimes had luck with pugilizing that key, sometimes not. I should say it's not physically stuck in any way. Feels like it's a problem with how it tells the computer it's pressed/not pressed.

xpost hm so the idea is to remap so that the left shift key is not the left shift key anymore?

ah right i see what you want to do. yeah ignore that comment then, but look into http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/

i'm not usually a fan of ppl using this thread for tech support, but i have a question so i'm going to be a hypocrite: for a while i had been sending and receiving imessages exclusively from my imac. then i got an ipad mini and for whatever reason none of those messages showed up in the messages app. at least when i checked a little while ago they weren't there. is there a way to get that old stuff to show up on the ipad or will stuff only start showing up on both devices now that i have two devices?

i know it's like a thing that icloud isn't perfect but, man, icloud really isn't perfect

iCloud doesn't store old text messages. They'll start showing up on both devices now, but the old ones from your iMac won't show up on your iPad. I restored my iPhone last night and lost a bunch of txts.

Actually, maybe iCloud stores old txts when it backs the device up but it won't sync those old txts across devices.

dope, thank you

When does Apple add web access for iMessage? I would REALLY like to just replace GoogleTalk, etc with it.

they may never

ya why would they do that

I just wish it were reliable. Recently I discovered a message didn't get to me, even although it was claimed 'delivered' to the sender. Turns out I got it on my computer, but not on my phone. It's really not good enough that.

I changed my account password and it took about a month for iMessage to recover.

I have never figured out how to enable iMessage and never want to. I get like 500 texts a month with my contract and I never even come close to using them all.

when people criticize apple and say how much better google's shit is when it comes to services, they're basically right. can you imagine this shit happening with gmail? it doesn't. i should probably be more worried than i am that i'm shoving so much of my stuff into apple's cloud.

I do like using it, because I like how I can use iChat to reply to people, if I have the computer. It's also nice to get a 'read' notification (this for obvious reasons, seems more reliable).

Google would almost be guaranteed to do better at that stuff, since their culture values hard computer science; whereas, Apple's values softer stuff like user experience. It's hard to value all of it. In many ways, I'm amazed Apple's server stuff is as good as it is and that Google UI stuff isn't bloody awful.

I used the hell out of iMessage to text people out of the country. For some reason my phone plan doesn't like me doing that.

Over the weekend, for the first time, I was using my iPad with the phone in the other room and it popped the message on to the device I was using at the minute. That was actually really cool.

their culture values hard computer science; whereas, Apple's values softer stuff like user experience

this is crazy, Apple's coding standards are also very high and _not getting messages_ is the shittiest user experience imaginable
