I HATE APPLE

So, now that I have a machine in my office as well, is there a good way of keeping ical and address book in sync between multiple machines without paying for mobileme?

Fuck Apple for having shit inventory and a HORRIBLE system for buying iPhone 3G.

Fuck you, Apple.

Toby, there are ways of doing it through google calendar but the best os x tool for doing it is paid for but I forget its name.

new i phone, new suit - quite the spending spree you're kicking off here, Don!

Five days. Apple can suck my nuts.

toby I think maybe busysync will help you but it's $25

did os9 have a web browser or would i have to download one seperately (on another computer obv)

There was IE, mozilla, Netscape, Opera and Cyberdog might still run on it.

but there's not one built in? what did people do in the old days?

so pretty; I love kate moross

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)

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.

That is probably on TPB

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.

fuck an os9, what a load of rubbish! i got on the internets though :D

fuck one (1) apple

the key to a successful product launch: MAKE SOME PRODUCT

ON IPHONE

what would be the UNIX/terminal command to delete the file LockBackground.jpg from private/var/mobile/Library

??

worked it out: rm -i /private/var/mobile/Library/LockBackground.jpg

ok ok ok what the fuck

everybody do this with me

place one finger on your trackpad. move another finger up and down on the trackpad. voila, you're scrolling

don't even bother calling me a noob, this is fkn exciting!

"hold down the B button and swing like you're really bowling, then let go"

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.

I get frequent failures too, but I just select "back up now" from the toolbar menu and all is well.

so, remember when we derailed the thread spectacularly by discussing the human league? well, here's some good news

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.

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"

This brings up a v imp problem: How to tell which clicks are serious and which are ironic or humorous????

Where is a serious click that really aims purchase?

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.

I love how my friends new iphone can listen to a song on the radio and tell you what it is :)

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?

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?

i'm not sure how it works. i'm waiting to find out :)

I can't find a reference to charges anywhere. Weird.

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.

I spent a few hours this weekend making all of my language instruction CDs into "Audiobooks", so that I can use the iPod's snazzy audiobook-only features, like 1.5x playback, and bookmarking.

I finally finished the conversion process (convert to AAC, change from .m4a to .m4b), synced, and then, with great anticipation, clicked on the Audiobooks menu. What I saw: a long, flat list of every track from some 20-odd language instruction CDs, alphabetized. i.e. "Lesson 1, Lesson 01, Lesson 01, Lesson 01" etc. Unreal.

Of course, in iTunes, they're nicely segregated. WTF.

so i've had my new iMac up and running since last thursday and i have to say ...

... it absolutely rocks fucking bells. wow. it's quite blindingly good.

er, that's all.

Probably a dumb question, but is it playing albums in alphabetical order?

Fuck Mobile Me. I have all sorts of sync problems with my iPhone now. Fuck me for EVER thinking that I could get a reliable mobile platform.

Look all of my contact just disappeared from my iphone. i wasnt syncing. i have nothing to do with mobile me NOTHING. what the hell?

excellent. 10.5.5 has completely destroyed my fucking mobile me syncing. well done, crapple.

Within 2 years, Google will have rendered MobileMe obsolete.

The most annoying bit about MobileMe is that it offers a subset of .Mac services for the same cost.
