for short-page length, info light fancy things things then iwork

for basic word processing like letters to the court or unemployment or college (or all three) you could use textedit and notes.

how about pages? can i substitute that for office?

Mordy, Saturday, 18 August 2012 03:33 (eleven years ago) link

or iwork i guess

Mordy, Saturday, 18 August 2012 03:34 (eleven years ago) link

are you editing a thesis or sending resumes?

term papers or 100 page reports?

shorter work = iwork, longer work = office

here's a fucking complaint

i can't play HALO or VICE CITY because my fucking joystick's not working with the new USB port

btw, here's my educational discount story. i told the guy that i have an nyu email addy and he was like: show it to me + that'll be good enough and so i got all the discounts and the $100 gift card for apps.

i have not been a student for 2 years

Mordy, Saturday, 18 August 2012 03:40 (eleven years ago) link

well you're tutoring people for free, right?

the late great, Saturday, 18 August 2012 03:51 (eleven years ago) link

that's education too

they should call it "idealism pricing"

whether to do full transfer or pick + choose what files i want to bring over.

it was kinda exciting moving from my old macbook to this macbook air b/c i didnt need to do either a full transfer OR choose files -- 90% of what i needed was "on the cloud" so i just installed dropbox + turned on itunes match and i had all of my music and documents at my fingertips. plus syncing for chrome meant all my bookmarks and prefs and so on.

had to d/l a coupla hoonja doonjas but otherwise was the smoothest-ever transition to a new computer

what a welfare queen, riding the system.

xp For long-form writing/research, Scrivener is the way to go.

shaane, Saturday, 18 August 2012 14:46 (eleven years ago) link

was thinking of mentipning some of the book editing pro tools

but i kept wanting to call it bartleby or samuel and anyway i know nothing about it

how is it?

the late great, Saturday, 18 August 2012 16:04 (eleven years ago) link

i tried scrivener back in grad school but found it really confusing

Mordy, Saturday, 18 August 2012 16:23 (eleven years ago) link

Just realized my current hardware (5 yrs old) won't run the new OS.

so photostream is very cool and def beats plugging in my iphone whenever i want to import photos. however i can't tell if the photos are being saved on my laptop? i know that photostream has a time limit for storing photos. any idea how i make sure i have them saved to my computer?

Mordy, Saturday, 18 August 2012 16:44 (eleven years ago) link

go into photostream either in iphoto or aperture

import the photos you want into your library before you delete them off iphone

the late great, Saturday, 18 August 2012 17:21 (eleven years ago) link

it's kind of a pain but there's probably an even easier way to do it

the late great, Saturday, 18 August 2012 17:28 (eleven years ago) link

i think maybe it did it automatically for me (the import) bc when i try to drag the photostream photos into my library it tells me that it's a duplicate. i've got events in my library labeled things like July 2012 Photo Stream and August 2012 Photo Stream.

Mordy, Saturday, 18 August 2012 17:33 (eleven years ago) link

ok that seems like how it should be working, i think i have it set up to only grab the ones i tell it to or maybe it's because i am using aperture. i dunno, i am a mega noob bout this.

the late great, Saturday, 18 August 2012 17:35 (eleven years ago) link

Fuck photo stream. Dropbox introduced photo sync a few months back. I plug in my phone and it grabs all photos.

dan selzer, Saturday, 18 August 2012 18:29 (eleven years ago) link

w/ photostream tho you don't need to plug in your phone

Mordy, Saturday, 18 August 2012 18:31 (eleven years ago) link

BOOOOYAAAAAAA

lag∞n, Saturday, 18 August 2012 18:33 (eleven years ago) link

w/ photostream tho you don't need to plug in your phone stop texting while on speakerphone

Scrivener has proven useful for a bunch of screenplay projects I've done, I actually kinda dig it even though I feel I'm not using it to it's full potential or anything

Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Sunday, 19 August 2012 03:44 (eleven years ago) link

yeah, yeah...I still find it more useful to use dropbox. I don't want to look at iPhoto ever again in my life. Dropbox makes it easier for me to share it. To have it synced on my computer w/o using iPhoto.

seems to be fucking up bad w/ chrome graphics a lot, all sorts of LOL video tearing

the late great, Sunday, 19 August 2012 19:36 (eleven years ago) link

so far the only "retina" things going on here - aside from astoundingly superior color and clarity - is my super HD background wallpaper and aperture

wow samsung has to pay almost as much as if they'd pirated seventeen songs

maybe samsung could update the apple desktop line since apple have seemingly no interest in doing so.

switched to safari cause apparently RMBP can't deal with chrome ?

ah well, it seems like mt lion safari is actually a pretty shit-hot browser, but there's still an amazing amount of flash-based stupidity happening in the browser.

just kill flash and be done with it adobe

samsung probably knew they were fucked when the jury got the case on a wednesday. nobody wants to work through the weekend.

wondering how much the court costs were.

shaane, Saturday, 25 August 2012 00:24 (eleven years ago) link

why is my superdrive USB cable so short? fuck you apple. is it meant to sit athwart a time capsule or something?

the late great, Wednesday, 5 September 2012 01:59 (eleven years ago) link

it's just one of those apple products you're not supposed to want, thus they make it shitty

i almost believe you

the late great, Wednesday, 5 September 2012 02:46 (eleven years ago) link

same reason the iPod classic hasn't gotten a size upgrade in years, they don't really want you to buy one

"Pffft" --buddha (silby), Wednesday, 5 September 2012 02:47 (eleven years ago) link

at this point, it must cost them virtually nothing to make right?
