yeah kind of comes down to 'how well it works'

ice cr?m, Tuesday, 7 June 2011 19:46 (twelve years ago) link

I think introducing a persistence feature that hangs on the assumption that applications never become corrupted is... well the nice way to put it is "optimistic"

i'm sure they will be a way to reset things

caek, Tuesday, 7 June 2011 19:50 (twelve years ago) link

like hold option when launching or whatever, like safe mode

caek, Tuesday, 7 June 2011 19:51 (twelve years ago) link

seeing as I just discovered TODAY how to quit apps on my iPhone, I am pretty certain it will be a PITA to do so

yes a good portion of that is user error, but then again maybe your device should have a real manual

low-rent black gangster nicknamed Bootsy (DJP), Tuesday, 7 June 2011 19:53 (twelve years ago) link

You can force a quit an app using activity monitor like before, but there's no way to make it ignore its resume data (unless the app itself offers one). Clearing that will mean filesystem pokery.

"we are apple"

yeah i tried to run an app that controlled time and and one that ran dos 3.0 and steve jobs personally vetoed them both.

caek, Tuesday, 7 June 2011 20:00 (twelve years ago) link

none of this new stuff thrills me

In contrast, this does:

(Already announced but this is some early confirmation from developers. That being the case I'm likely going to hold off on the presumed September iPhone upgrade in favor of what sounds like will be a full LTE version next year.)

I find it amusing that apple is so anti pr0n

Latham Green, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 14:46 (twelve years ago) link

They don't like pr0n apps, but porn works quite fine on all Apple devices, trust me.

oh man he is so ill

caek, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 14:50 (twelve years ago) link

I don't dwell on Jobs' morbidity, but I do wonder if he's thinking at this point he wants to get as much done as quickly as possible before he's gone.

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 14:54 (twelve years ago) link

haven't had a chance to read up much on this, but how resource hungry is lion looking to be?

i'm not liking the idea of all this extra whiz stuff if it compromises the speed of my machine. just got a new imac and i'm loving the fact it can take pretty much any video or audio stuff i throw at it.

Crackle Box, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 14:58 (twelve years ago) link

I trust you MH.

Finally, the new accessibility options Apple has included in iOS 5 are nothing short of incredible. You can enable the LED flash to blink during alerts, and you can even create your own custom vibration patterns for specific contacts by tapping out patterns on the display

not that I actually feel the vibration, but this is cool.

dan selzer, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 15:52 (twelve years ago) link

more bells and whistles

Latham Green, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 16:30 (twelve years ago) link

yes, all kinds of new tones. But this is a feature you don't hear.

are there any more details about autosaving? i love the idea that nobody ever has to "save" anything, ever, for any reason - but i'm also wondering how you make versions happen.

40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 9 June 2011 12:26 (twelve years ago) link

well you can flip back through the autosaves time machine style and presumably save as if you want to create a second document

ice cr?m, Thursday, 9 June 2011 12:52 (twelve years ago) link

yeah, that makes sense.

one more q: this is so obvious it must have been asked, but i can't find an answer about what happens when your music won't fit on a device. my iphone doesn't have the space to store all my music. so how does the iCloud know what to put on it?

40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 9 June 2011 13:30 (twelve years ago) link

I assume you tell it what to put on it, just like you do now with playlists.

I've been downloading stuff I bought using my phone that wasn't currently on it via the iTunes app; it all ends up connected to the "Purchased on this iPhone" playlist.

low-rent black gangster nicknamed Bootsy (DJP), Thursday, 9 June 2011 13:33 (twelve years ago) link

I'd hate to have to systematically sync my "purchased" playlist since it mostly contains drunkenly shazam-ed atrocities.

licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Thursday, 9 June 2011 14:16 (twelve years ago) link

Sounds like that would be a brilliant playlist!

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 9 June 2011 14:17 (twelve years ago) link

Oh-tomate! Oh-tomate!

Alba, Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:24 (twelve years ago) link

how does the iCloud know what to put on it?

checkboxes.

jed_, Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:34 (twelve years ago) link

Latham Green, Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:37 (twelve years ago) link

I hate these DRm itunes purchases - why should I have less ability to do things with files I actually paid for? so idiotic

Latham Green, Thursday, 9 June 2011 20:09 (twelve years ago) link

Do you mean video or apps? Because they dropped DRM on music files a long time ago.

mh, Thursday, 9 June 2011 20:10 (twelve years ago) link

it was music but the drm is stil there apparently

Latham Green, Thursday, 9 June 2011 20:15 (twelve years ago) link

On existing files you downloaded in the past, or recently downloaded ones? I think you should be able to use the new redownload functionality to grab fresh un-drm'ed copies if you want.

mh, Thursday, 9 June 2011 20:23 (twelve years ago) link

I better befuckinable to!
if someone had this issue with mp3's of mine that they had downloaded I would be pissed at apple. poor customer service, but that is mainly the RIAA not getting it again

Latham Green, Thursday, 9 June 2011 20:26 (twelve years ago) link

also the thing about "you have authorized too many computers to play these files" why dont you just put up a sing saying " STEAL MUSIC ITS BETTER THAT WAY"

Latham Green, Thursday, 9 June 2011 20:28 (twelve years ago) link

Turns out us Britishers aren't getting cloudtunes after all. At least not this year.

If Steve Jobs was Davros the Daleks wouldn't be covered in all those buttons.

James Mitchell, Friday, 10 June 2011 07:51 (twelve years ago) link

Why do you think he ripped the shell off himself?

Alba, Friday, 10 June 2011 07:56 (twelve years ago) link

Oh no, wait, he still had the bottom bit, doesn't he? Good point, well made.

Alba, Friday, 10 June 2011 07:57 (twelve years ago) link

actualyl steve jobs designed ILXOR - taht is why its so stripped down

Latham Green, Friday, 10 June 2011 12:34 (twelve years ago) link

Having a hell of a time trying to work out how icloud will work for families who share an apple id but want unique icloud/mobileme functions per person (e.g. email address, file storage). Google proving useless atm. Perhaps I should just wait until people actually get to use the thing.

I'd assume playlists

low-rent black gangster nicknamed Bootsy (DJP), Sunday, 12 June 2011 23:32 (twelve years ago) link

it's already a pain the ass to sync two iphones on one machine. every time I do this I forget to log out my wife from itunes and it half-syncs all these apps I didn't buy, and then can't use.
