verizon thing might actually be happening early next year, so its probably not a bad idea to wait. i havent bought an iphone yet, but ill probably go for it next summer after iphone 5 comes out

verizon thing IS happening, btw. friend of mine works for A Company (not apple) and one of his coworkers was at a factory in china and saw the verizon iphones being made

improved camera alone has been worth the upgrade to iPhone 4, IMO

Yep, and the display is ridiculously high-res.

And the 512Mb memory. It's basically better than an iPad.

wont i be waiting, like... forever?
btw buying phones in this country is such a fucking drag
4g is not really 4g. T-mo's 4g? Same tech as at&t's 3G. Sprint's? Marginally faster, but works on few phones and their coverage is ~
I think the official 4g spec is another factor faster than anything anyone is using the branding for.

― mh, Wednesday, 1 December 2010 16:53 (thirteen years ago) link

the latest version of iTunes has a checkbox to turn Ping off in the preferences
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 17:06 (thirteen years ago) link
or however that sentence is supposed to read
if there's one thing this thread has established it's that we don't like the checkboxes in itunes
― caek, Wednesday, 1 December 2010 17:07 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, i turned ping off but then it just leaves arrows to the itunes store
― max, Wednesday, 1 December 2010 17:08 (thirteen years ago) link
you can make those arrows more useful so they take you to the relvant "page" in your own library by either holding alt when you click them or using some command line thing to make the alt behaviour the default

first thing i do on a new install, after i uncheck all the songs
― caek, Wednesday, 1 December 2010 17:10 (thirteen years ago) link

the only thing that is really bugging me now is the insanely ugly volume slider
― max, Wednesday, 1 December 2010 17:10 (thirteen years ago) link
defaults write com.apple.iTunes special-slider-just-for-max -boolean YES

speaking of which i just did a software update and it totally f'd up my dock settings (no reflective tray garbage, hidden apps get greyed out)
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 17:14 (thirteen years ago) link
put your dock on the side you gigantic ninny
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 17:14 (thirteen years ago) link
eww why would i do that
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 17:23 (thirteen years ago) link
well you are a ninny so i guess you wouldn't

my own reason: vertical real estate is more valuable than horizontal

side dock usrs should be automatically added to the terrorist watch list and sex offender registry
― ice cr?m, Wednesday, 1 December 2010 17:31 (thirteen years ago) link
well geez i was gonna try it out for a bit but now that i know that i could be a sex terrorist i guess i wont
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 17:33 (thirteen years ago) link
side dock is basically essential when using Final Cut and if that makes me a sex terrorist well then bring on the molestation jihad I say
― ENERGY FOOD (en i see kay), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 17:37 (thirteen years ago) link
if you do put it on the side i like it better "pinned" to the top of the screen, so that it expands down, rather than floating in the middle. to do this, put the following in the terminal -
defaults write com.apple.dock pinning -string start
if you want to put it back in the middle do:
defaults write com.apple.dock pinning -string middle
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 17:40 (thirteen years ago) link
im wondering do you all not hide yr docks, cause i might have to call the fbi
― ice cr?m, Wednesday, 1 December 2010 17:41 (thirteen years ago) link
i like to see where i'm dragging
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 17:43 (thirteen years ago) link
hope they have internet in gitmo bro
― ice cr?m, Wednesday, 1 December 2010 17:44 (thirteen years ago) link
of course it's hidden
otherwise I would be a genocider on top of my aforementioned crimes
