well... you can, but the system disparity has to be so great that you wouldn't even consider getting to that point in the first place (like say, a Pentium III with 64GB of RAM)

how would you even fit 64 GB of RAM onto a PIII motherboard, DJP

I have a 24' late 2007 iMac myself, and I got the 4GB upgrade when I purchased it. Unless you're going to junk it in a year or so, I'd say it's worth the extra $15-30 for that 1GB - look around, you can find ~$60 for 2x2GB PC2-5300 SODIMMs, look for laptop memory. I often hit the 4GB ceiling now (though I'm often running 10 apps at once), so I'd say it's worth it.

ordered one of the new ipads; anyone here have any experience with Papers for iPad? or with djvu viewing on iPad?

Euler, Saturday, 12 March 2011 14:01 (thirteen years ago) link

Dear Lord I must put GarageBand down now and eat something.

I can't wait for the iZone:

quick question wrt the new HDMI out - will you be able to output the sky sports feed via the iOS sky sports app to a telly?

why didnt anyone tell me the interface for ipad reeder was boring as fuck before i dropped 5 big ones on it?

throwing darts and eating pizza behind impenetrable walls (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 16:29 (thirteen years ago) link

Boring but effective.

Jeff, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 16:33 (thirteen years ago) link

say what? Reeder has justified buying an ipad singlehandedly. Can't fucking wait for the mac app store version to come out - so fed up with netnews reader

licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 16:52 (thirteen years ago) link

when you finally drill into yr feeds it's great, but this main screen is just awful

throwing darts and eating pizza behind impenetrable walls (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 16:54 (thirteen years ago) link

baaderonixx the Mac beta is now stable enough to use every day. Still can't manage feeds though :(

stet, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 17:01 (thirteen years ago) link

I stopped using Mac beta Reeder, but love it on my iPhone. Find I use google reader on mac out of habit, and was annoyed by not being able to manage feeds, and constantly being asked to redownload it.

bbbbut PS3.... has no games
xps

cozen, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 18:33 (thirteen years ago) link

I agree the main screen is boring, but I don't have any immediate suggestions how they could make it as useful as the iPhone version's opening without another similar screen-wasting thing.

I'm really getting into using Flipboard more, lately.

mh, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 19:30 (thirteen years ago) link

they could make the main screen highlights from yr favorite feeds, like the opening screen for google reader

just woke up (lukas), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 19:33 (thirteen years ago) link

Reeder is great and not boring, although afaict there's no way to reorder your feeds alphabetically. The Mac version keeps crashing (yes even on the newest beta).

Emperor Tomato Catsuuuuuuuup (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 19:41 (thirteen years ago) link

i would like at least an OPTION to show a list of my subscribed feeds

throwing darts and eating pizza behind impenetrable walls (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 20:16 (thirteen years ago) link

Best rival to Flipboard I've seen is Zite, which is free.

Alba, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 21:48 (thirteen years ago) link

I've not used the ipad version of Reeder but the iphone version lists all your feeds. There must be a way to do that in the ipad version, surely.

Emperor Tomato Catsuuuuuuuup (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 21:50 (thirteen years ago) link

Looks like there isn't. What the eff are they thinking?

Emperor Tomato Catsuuuuuuuup (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 22:03 (thirteen years ago) link

I don't think he means "a feed with all your sources in one" - he means a list of the names of all feeds that you subscribe to. You can't get that on the iPhone version either, as far as I can see.

Alba, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 22:06 (thirteen years ago) link

You can definitely do that on the iphone app.

Emperor Tomato Catsuuuuuuuup (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 22:08 (thirteen years ago) link

argh I wish there were an easy way to upload iphone screen caps.

Emperor Tomato Catsuuuuuuuup (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 22:08 (thirteen years ago) link

You can't get it in Byline either. I don't think it ever occurred to me, as I do my management of actual sources in Google Reader itself.

Alba, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 22:09 (thirteen years ago) link

Off the Reeder site:

http://reederapp.com/2/_index/screens/7.png

Tapping that three-line icon at the bottom displays all your feeds, not just new items.

Emperor Tomato Catsuuuuuuuup (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 22:12 (thirteen years ago) link

Show me where you can do it in the iPhone app cause I can't see it. The closest I can get to it is to go to Reeder's settings, then under Navigation set it to "Open folders as list of feeds". Then if you go to a folder you can see all the feeds the belong to that folder, but I can't see a way of getting a list of all your feeds at once. I guess you could make a folder that just had everything in it and that would work.

xpost - ah, do you not use folders in Google Reader? Looks like if you don't then everything gets listed in that way.

Alba, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 22:16 (thirteen years ago) link

Ah yeah, I don't use folders.

Emperor Tomato Catsuuuuuuuup (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 22:17 (thirteen years ago) link

This is the way that screen looks on mine:

Alba, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 22:21 (thirteen years ago) link

I think you're borked then.

Another thing Reeder should provide is the ability to edit feeds (sorry if someone has already mentioned this), even if it's only deleting a feed. I really hate having to log into Google every time I want to manage my feeds.

Emperor Tomato Catsuuuuuuuup (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 22:24 (thirteen years ago) link

You can just click "unread" and sort by feed instead of date, is that no what you want?

dan selzer, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 22:47 (thirteen years ago) link

argh I wish there were an easy way to upload iphone screen caps.

Simplest way is to take screenshot, then use dropbox app to add pic to your public folder and grab link from there.

stet, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 23:14 (thirteen years ago) link

Wow, I had no idea that was possible. Thanks ever so.

Emperor Tomato Catsuuuuuuuup (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 23:22 (thirteen years ago) link

Just checked in on Ping for the first time in months to see whether it had improved at all. It hasn't, but I did think that if this thing wasn't purely music based, and also gave me a stream of the apps my contacts were buying and recommending, I'd actually find that hugely useful.

JimD, Saturday, 19 March 2011 19:26 (thirteen years ago) link

has anyone got an ipad yet? the popup apple store in austin for sxsw only had the 64gb wifi on thursday and when i called the san antonio store to check availability this am they actually laughed at me.

caek, Saturday, 19 March 2011 20:08 (thirteen years ago) link

haha!

ice cr?m, Saturday, 19 March 2011 20:10 (thirteen years ago) link

Mine doesn't ship till April.

Jeff, Saturday, 19 March 2011 20:10 (thirteen years ago) link

mine is supposed to ship mid-late April; went 64gb 3g

Euler, Saturday, 19 March 2011 20:14 (thirteen years ago) link

It's due out here on Friday but lol I don't think anyone's expectations are terribly high.

What-Diana-faked-death-living-false-identity-small-town-America (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 19 March 2011 20:21 (thirteen years ago) link

i want the bottom of the line 16gb wifi. they had that in white in austin, but white droolz and black rulez. i still have chances in minneapolis next week and new york the week after. hoping things will have settled down a bit by new york at least.

caek, Saturday, 19 March 2011 20:21 (thirteen years ago) link

my understanding is that overseas countries have ppl staked out at the new york stores so they can snap up all these ipads and send them back to the motherland
