New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

still love those g4 imacs

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

and that Google UI stuff isn't bloody awful.

Got our hands on a 27" iMac today. Lovely thing, but the screen is still hella shiny, the calibration is way off and the whole thing too bright for proper repro work :-(

anyone got any recommendations for security cage/lock things for mac minis? I've bought a couple that claim to fit on to the back of monitors, but they only work if the monitor isn't already using the VESA screws. (like huh?)

in other news, i just bought this -- http://readdle.com/products/scannerpro/ -- so we'll see how that goes

Sometimes I don't get the messages.

I think it has more to do with some wishy-washiness on how iMessage, when it's not phone-to-phone, should work and it was linked to management shake-ups. If anything, I'd bet that it was a cross-disciplinary thing where there isn't an "iMessage team," just different groups trying to connect to the same services and doing it wrong.

Their web stuff was generally shitty due to constant mismanagement, though.

also I should clarify on user code versus service code: Apple does a middling job of services, unless you could all the iTunes store stuff, which is actually pretty solid in that it moves a lot of product and doesn't really error out

I could believe that, though it's only in phone to phone scenarios I've ever lost messages. This is what's frustrating, as I understand that all software is chock full of bugs; I've been developing it for 33 years, but some things really have to be right and reliable delivery of messages like this is really critical for a user to have trust in it. The rest is icing on the cake.

x-post yes iTunes is pretty solid.

they obviously didn't think through and rushed a lot of iMessage shit. did you see those reports of some messages going to a phone's former owner? they implemented it via device id rather than signed-in user. lots of weird assumptions.

err, rather a phone's former owner's messages going to that phone, rather than their new phone
