New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

I'm on the same page as Schlafsack

It's miracle day!

ok i'm not a software-head or anything and i probably wouldn't understand half this thread... but... should i bother getting lion? should i wait? i have a macbook pro that's lion-ready fwiw.

dooo it

why? give me a reason!

In a few months app updates with cool stuff will use api features that require Lion and you'll be like "why do I need to upgrade, grind grind moan"

that and the gesture stuff is pretty fun

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-07-21/apple-said-to-consider-making-an-offer-for-hulu-online-television-service.html

Kind of skeptical, but it's possible and would be a great acquisition for their hobby appliance. They've got Netflix and MLB for subscription services, so a Hulu option would make sense, but it's kind of annoying that this might kill the service for the many other devices it's on.

btw that screenshot upthread that I can't seem to delete is actually dual quad core processors

braggin'

i wonder how much spotify's scaring them right now

Apple does not give one fuck.

lion is making my 2006 mb ~grind~

sigh. first OS update to make my computer slower in 11 years I think

RIP white mb. easy enough to downgrade if I need to?

does MS Office 2008 work with Lion? Because I heard today it doesn't. This was very second-hand though.

It'll grind for the first 1-2 hrs because Spotlight has to reindex your whole drive. cmd+space will tell you how long it's got to go.

xp

wonder if that is maybe it

all the animations are treacle tho regardless

Oh, I should mention that Lion's time estimates were garbage for me. 33 minute installation took 65 minutes and the 18 hr spotlight indexing took 1.5 hrs.

and yeah, the whole interface is shithouse until the indexing finishes so

indexing is long finished

bugger

I don't know whether this is related but my battery life was horrible last night, even well after the indexing had finished. Maybe I had some flash thing open somewhere.

how full is your HD?

90%

Look, it's Thursday night here, for the sake of an ilxor's Friday PLEASE PLEASE don't upgrade to Lion tomorrow, please do it on Saturday or not at all.

Tell everyone you know that Lion is garbage. Please.

posting from apple store getting new replacement iPhone

autocorrect is fucking is pretty damn annoying

never been in an apple store before, these places are weird!

that lot are doing a performance

definite gap in market for MBP 13": it sits in the space the white macbook's just vacated, and it's a much more powerful machine. tried the 11" air and it couldn't handle streamed content from vimeo HD seamlessly. bit disappointing, so might plump for the 13" MBP instead

went to the apple store and played around with one, streamed HD stuff from video just fine? also played a 1080p movie trailer I downloaded from the apple movie trailers site, was okay.

v tempted

Give in. Or just send me the money, whatever works.

AA, are you Peter Misek? :)

I've decided to ditch the mouse and home and use a magic track pad exclusively. I'm pretty happy with it. Seems more elegant than constantly dragging a mouse over my desk.

when I get my office space set up again, I'm thinking of supplementing my mouse with one

so much love for my magic trackpad

magic trackpad was slightly hell for me as i intended to sit it on the floor, where i sit in front of my tv (connected to mac). my floor is crooked and the boards uneven, but i guess mousing would have been straight up impossible. now i have a coffee table.

I want a magic trackpad

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

Anyone know if there'll be a new iPod Classic in September?

No idea. I'm hoping there's at least one equivalent ipod because I want to replace my 120 GB classic and there's no way in hell I'm stepping down in capacity.

really want a 64gb touch, sept. will very tempting.. but damn i can do a lot with $400

I'm going to grab the next phone asap. Fine with having a 32gb portable music/video collection for now, 64gb even better. No way I could fit a reasonable fraction of my home collection on either.

iwork or m$ (lol) office?

office

do you work with other ppl? then office I imagine

if it's just for yrself, then w/e prob

iWork is not a patch on Office 2011. It's just not. If you want to whip up quick docs with tables, images etc, iWork is cheaper and you can buy just the module you want. If you want to do anything even slightly complicated, Office.

effing m$, no escape it seems

Ah look, Office is a good product and has led its field since Word for Windows, and there's no talking paper clip anymore so

i suppose word was originally a mac product...

i liked clippy :(
