New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

people still use word and excel? google apps imo

on corporate campuses you already can use Office Communicator to track a friend list for office apps and it inserts the proper links to message or email them.

if you click and hold on the artwork column title you have an option to change the size. i win

haha yes I just figured that out too; ok, that's much better!

for people who really care about subjective aesthetics

haha why are u getting het up caek u maddie

so sad i took this thread so seriously, wish i were as chilled out vibes as dg

drinking weak tea and taking my autistic spectrum disorder medication right now though, so should be ok by itunes 11

caek and fonts are always awesome in my experience

i'm taking caek to vegas

speaking as some one who not only doesnt have aspergers but has actual real friends and even a girlfriend, the new itunes is ugly

your going to need to break that down, max. i'm is dealing with issues in re: how other people's interests and opinions could be different to my own.

no i'm saying what is the deal with people devoting their thursday afternoon (or wherever) indulging themselves in lengthy arguments about a fucking desktop icon, as you appear to want to do.

^^^ maybe you missed this post.

I like this new iTunes, guys. Dunno about this Ping thing

I have made the statement that if the iPhone 4 starts coming with sixty-four gee bees I will buy one.

to get rid of the itunes store arrows in your lib:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links -bool FALSE

to get horizontal min/max/close buttons:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -boolean YES

when you hover over the album artwork window when an album is playing you get itunes controls - is that new?

doesn't happen for me

it's the window that pops out when you click the artwork in the main itunes app

(... and the track/album has to be playing)

oh, ye, that's been there since they brought in the movie player i think

huh, i don't see that now (still on the old version)

you can pull the corner to make the artwork box MASSIVE too

i got a magic trackpad.

shit is magic.

i wish i had waited and got that instead of a magic mouse - it came out like 3 days after i couldnt bring it back any more - not like i knew it was coming but argh

so is it good?

i have a magic mouse at work and i really like it (also hooked up to an iMac), and i was thinking of buying another one for home to replace my old and buggy mighty mouse (the trackball would always get clogged up)

decided to go with the trackpad instead and i'm really liking it. something very satisfying about not having to drag the a mouse around the desk all the time. i do a lot of document editing and it's been working great.

it also looks damn cool!

habit would say you keep the trackpad on your right like a mouse but i'm liking it front and center, like a laptop, but above my keyboard

ya i'm just so used to trackpad from my laptop (i hook my laptop up to a keyboard + mouse + monitor at home) that at first i was really craving it. now i'm not sure.

apple keybs (i have the wireless one) have gotten so good lately too. stoked that my new MBP (coming soon!) will have the new styley

wireless keybs hasn't been updated at all right? i have one but i dont use it.

(need the USB ports on the wired keybs)

The newest wired one is pretty much like the wireless one, I have both because uh, I spend my day at a desktop and use the bluetooth one with my iPad/PS3

you can do that!?!? holla!

ps3, that is

Yup, it's a bluetooth keyboard, same as any other

ya how wicked is that

dragging mice around? I've been using a trackball for years and years and years. You know how even with a big trackpad you sometimes get to the edge and it's annoying? That doesn't happen with a trackball.

great itunes looks like gray shit now

Now?

My fave posting of all time on this topic:

http://daringfireball.net/2005/09/anthropomorphized

xp, well, it is worse now, for sure

woe is us

i know i'm cryyyyying about it

can we talk about how useless ping is

"You can’t like a song while you are listening to your existing collection. If you’ve bought a song or album, Ping assumes you like it (bad assumption), but none of your actual listening activity appears in your stream.
You can only like songs in the iTunes store. And even doing that isn’t easy. There is a big like button for each album, but if you want to like a song, you need to click the drop-down arrow next to the buy button. Be careful not to hit buy, unless you really like the song.

Once you do like a song, that shows up in your stream with a nice big buy button for all your friends to follow suit. Of course, they can’t listen to the whole song before deciding to buy, only a sample. You can’t share playlists. You can’t really do much other than peddle music to your friends."

so retarded. it's like a brick wall of social networking.

social networking marketing

can't imagine wanting to opt in to another social networking service unless there's a super compelling reason to do so at this point tbh
