probably not, i'm guessing.
i think i'm probably not going to notice much difference between a 23 inch and 24 inch display, at a guess. maybe i could get an extra 24 inch and run both.
ed - yep, same email addresses as ever.

I think the Apple 23" panel is the same panel that is in the Dell 24" and the true dimension is somewhere in between. It is the pixel count that matters and I think 1920x 1200 is what you want.

We have to run InDesign off 20" screens at work. It's an abuse of human rights.

We also have some Dell 24" at work, and the refresh on them is some ghostly messy shit. I don't know if they're the same ones linked above, tho.

we got in an apple and a dell and some eizo panel to compare, and we went with the eizo. the dell's were a bit variable. there was little between the apple and the eizo except the eizo was a bit more configurable (movable height stand!!!11) and our colour calibration guy seemed to like it enough to justify the 40 quid extra

. for broadsheet work, it's pretty neat.
For tabloid work, it's not.
Well, for single pages it's OK. I did it once. But I deal with too many spreads.

DG It came with IE 4. You could upgrade to IE 5 at the time, but nowadays your only option is WamCom Mozilla 1.3.1, which is the best of a sorry, sorry bunch.

was there even an X11 implementation for classic (could one as an xterm lol)
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Friday, 18 July 2008 15:58 (fifteen years ago) link
it's because i bought an old powermac off ebay for cd ripping purposes and it has os 9 on a partition which i looked at briefly (and couldn't find a browser). are there lolz to be had or should i just leave it alone?

btw, google is pretty close to implementing CalDAV so don't buy some dodgey shit shareware for calendar syncing

There's fuck-all in the way of lolz, I don't think. We only dumped them at work last month, and it just misery. Mozilla's the only one that comes close to actually rendering modern pages, and it crashes all the time. Yr browsers should be in Applications > Internet Utilities
It is nice to see what a working Finder is like, I suppose.

The only X11s were commercial -- eXodus was one, and it was pricey.

Fuck Apple in the three states I've tried to buy an Iphone. Fuck the 5th Ave store for selling me headphones that didn't work, which required another visit to that insane asylum.
Fuck Apple for making me pray that my cracked-screen iPhone will survive while I wait for inventory issues to "resolve".
And fuck me for using my fingers to lick every drop of the Apple Kool-aid.

My TimeMachine back ups still keep failing.
The only solution seems to be to eject the external HD, re-boot and re-select external HD as TimeMachine back up.
― Bob Six, Wednesday, 6 August 2008 06:43 (fifteen years ago) link
I get frequent failures too, but I just select "back up now" from the toolbar menu and all is well.

August 8, 2008 9:35 AM PDT Apple boots $1,000 app from App Store Posted by Marguerite Reardon 29 comments The $1,000 application on Apple's App Store, which lets people know how rich you are simply for buying it, has been removed without explanation, making some developers wonder what it takes for Apple to pull the plug.
The "I am Rich" application developed by Armin Heinrich, a German software developer, does nothing more than display a picture of a red ruby on the iPhone screen. After initially approving the $1,000 application, Apple removed it from the store this week. Eight people managed to dish out $1,000 to buy the useless application, generating about $5,600 in revenue for Heinrich and $2,400 for Apple, which collects 30 percent of each sale on the App Store, according to a blog on the Los Angeles Times Web site.
Developer Heirnrich told the LA Times in an e-mail that he had no idea why Apple had pulled his application, since he was not aware of violating any rules of the software store. He claims that Apple has not provided an explanation as to why the application was removed.
― libcrypt, Saturday, 9 August 2008 19:17 (fifteen years ago) link
Gizmodo reportedly received a screenshot from one of the users who purchased the application and later called it "a scam", turning desperately to the tech blog after he "jokingly clicked 'buy'", forgetting that his wife has previously "activated iClick" on his laptop (the "One Click Buying" option in his account on the iTunes Store).
"THIS IS NO JOKE... DO NOT BUY THIS APP AND APPLE PLEASE REMOVE THIS FROM THE APP STORE.... APPLE MUST MUST MUST START TO SCREEN THESE FAKE APPS AND RIDICULOUS SCAMS," he wrote to Gizmodo.
"jokingly clicked buy"
― libcrypt, Saturday, 9 August 2008 19:24 (fifteen years ago) link
This brings up a v imp problem: How to tell which clicks are serious and which are ironic or humorous????
― libcrypt, Saturday, 9 August 2008 19:25 (fifteen years ago) link
Where is a serious click that really aims purchase?
― Alba, Saturday, 9 August 2008 20:34 (fifteen years ago) link
Time Machine backup causes kernel panics with me so it is sitting there doing nothing. Fuckers.
Fuck Apple for doing a deal with AT&T.
Worst experience buying a phone evah.
At least it works better than the 1.0 does.

― CaptainLorax, Monday, 11 August 2008 00:30 (fifteen years ago) link
That's Shazaam, right? We've had that over here for years as a number you could ring up and point your regular phone at (and get a text back IDing it), but it cost 50p a go. I take it the iPhone app makes it free?
― Alba, Monday, 11 August 2008 08:39 (fifteen years ago) link
Oh, I see that it isn't free, after a 30-day trial. How do such services bill you on the iPhone? Does the app just make a point-to-point call for you and have it added to your phone bill?
― Alba, Monday, 11 August 2008 08:46 (fifteen years ago) link
i'm not sure how it works. i'm waiting to find out :)

Weird problem with my iPhone: it all of a sudden will only play albums on shuffle, not in sequence. I can't find that there's a shuffle-only option anywhere, since you do it from the individual playlists. WTF is wrong wiht this thing? Anyone else have a problem like this? I feel sure there's some simple answer that's going to make me look like an idiot.
