New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

BREAKING NEWS YOU GUYS: jonathan ive was interested in watches 11 years ago

My instinct is that this watch is totally fictional. It just seems like a hilarious false flag.

MY wife got a Pebble and it's pretty cool. I'd at least check out an Apple one since they should be able to pull some OS tricks an outside developer isn't allowed.

I've better make it look as cool as my Braun watch.

I've don't have to do anything. IVE BETTER you get the rest.

i have a braun watch too :D

They're hot.

the band broke tho :(

creative differences

i saw a blog post recently (possibly one of the nerdy iphone dev blogs i read, but i have a horrible feeling it might have been gruber or sth) where the guy was saying the one thing that keeps him awake at night as someone who has invested his career in apple, and should be keeping apple awake at night, is the fact that they clearly have no one who understands sync

has anyone done this?

http://www.macstories.net/news/how-to-enable-two-step-verification-for-your-apple-id/

i did it it takes al ong time

i havent actuall done anything since that required me to login to apple so i cant tell u how good it is

please note: the code # they send u is only 4 numbers long.... doesn't seem as secure as google???????????????? just a warning!!!!!

okay i guess i'll take a closer look at it and maybe set it up

i just did it. it's kind of like online banking ca. 2003, rather than legit two-step authentication. if your phone doesn't have SMS access (e.g. not in home country) or your iphone doesn't have internet access then you can't log in (unlike google, which has an app that works offline to generate the key). also you can't add SMS numbers that aren't UK/US/Australia/NZ.

but it's an improvement! and everyone who can should absolutely do it!

whoa, where do you get the google offline app?

It's here: http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1066447

google app also works for dropbox two-step

Traded work for the last-gen 15" MBP Retina - 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD. Debating selling my iMac and using the MBP as my sole computer.

I need to get more storage, though, for my Lightroom archive and for movies/music - thinking about a Thunderbolt SSD for the former and a standard 2TB USB 3.0 for the latter? Or is Thunderbolt even necessary for photos?

i think usb3 is probably fine for an LR archive. start with usb3 and if you think it's the bottleneck for LR work then get a tb drive. tb definitely overkill for regular media.

is the google authenticator similar in concept to app-specific passwords?

how does it work? like once you've enabled it, google stores a set of random passwords that it knows ur app can generate... is that it?

it generates them based on some sort of salting algorithm that uses a unique ID number for your account and the current time as seeds i think. so the password changes once every 30 seconds or so. all my nasa employee friends had the keychain version of this back in the day.

sick

i downloaded it just so that i can finally have an excuse to use my phone as a qr reader

last-gen 15" MBP Retina - 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD

i went for 256gb too and i regret it, hoping they'll figure out an upgrade scheme someday

it's not that i mind thunderbolt speed for itunes and aperture, it's lugging around another piece of tech that kills me

i wasn't aware that there were multiple gens of the 15" retina

iirc the storage on a retina IS removeable, its just that its proprietary so the only 3rd party solutions that exist (e.g. owc) are really expensive

how does it work? like once you've enabled it, google stores a set of random passwords that it knows ur app can generate... is that it?

There's a unique key set-up when you first enable two-step authentication and then a hash string is created with that key + the current time (which updates every 30 seconds). The six-digit key is derived from that hash string. It's an open standard that Google is building upon - there are other sites which can use the app for authentication, but given recent events I'd be cautious about getting involved with that.

Still feel a little secret-agentish whenever I have to use the app.

by the way, the new version of the podcasts app is pretty good. wonder if the look & feel of ios 7 will be similar to it

i hate it

why does it show old already-listened-to-not-even-on-my-iphone-anymore podcasts as "numbered" and unlistened-to???

+1

also when u swipe up and it shows the old timey tape reel. i get mad

reel mad?

that doesnt exist anymore iirc

oh word? nice.

yeah they got rid of it w/ the revision

so be grateful

wonder if the look & feel of ios 7 will be similar to it

if those awful apple pundits are to be believed, ios7 will look like Letterpress and Clear

lol. this feels like a tower of babel or something. rip apple.

tbf, $2bn is the change under Apple's couch cushions

they've got more money than God - why not? :P

No business wants to go over budget $2Bn on anything, particularly if they are publicly traded

if i were steve jobs i would have requested that the walls be clear and clear pipes put in them through which the extracted blood of chinese factory workers would course

forwarding those quality standards to my architect friend, I can picture the giant grin across his face right now
