New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

No way in hell.

Okay so here's a question -- my gf's iPad (first gen) is running iOS5 without a worry but she's noticed something with Photos that is leaving her a little frustrated: she'd like to prioritize her self-created folders for events and remove (hide/minimize/delete) those she doesn't need like 'last import' and 'saved photos.' I'm guessing you can't exactly do that in full but is there some way to do that in Photos for iPad or should she go for another photo app entirely?

I think you can choose which folders to sink going through the Photos tab of iTunes's iPad section (like when you plug it in). Don't know if this can be done through iCloud.

err, sync

Oh lol it took me a while to figure out what I was looking at

Looks like a plastic HP that rips off a fair portion of the MBP styling and has a bad power button

Oh, that's the power button? I thought someone left a quarter on it.

looks too much like a volume control

I thought it was an old sticker and a coffee stain

i think its some sort of knob

you attach a little crank to that thing and then turn it around a hundred times and your laptop turns on -- it's a neat little security feature imo

I know Apple gets praised for hardware design, but when seeing how incredibly... wrong.. some other designs are it's worth giving them some credit. I was in a conference room last week next to a guy with a HP laptop that had what looked like screws sticking out of the top of the screen. It was part of the latching mechanism and there were corresponding holes in the base below the trackpad. I don't know how you get to the part of the design process where having things sticking nearly a quarter inch out of the top of the laptop above your screen seems like a good idea.

apple probably patented magnets

I mean yeah they probably did patent magnets

Fucking patents how do they etc

Such a pity that iMessage blows

having a notification center + imessage on my mac just makes me thing im going to get about a million redundant alerts on both my phone and computer

I don't really need to merge IM services, but getting iMessages on the desktop could be useful. I skipped Snow Leopard anyway...

I probably won't update; I really don't want my computer acting more and more like my phone.

Love how the Notification Center simply, beautifully uses the dark linen texture.

have you been bodysnatched by gruber or

Hahah.

More immediately interested in the run-up to Ivy Bridge chips from Intel later in the year as well as the wider use of Thunderbolt -- I'm pretty well due to get a new Mac this fall. (Still going desktop as well; if I ever do get a laptop it'll just be an iPad -- and I am thinking about the iPad 3...)

still havent upgraded to lion, kinda scared for some reason

idk why people are all up in arms about Lion upgrading. I find it to be a pretty great thing

im in the middle of a big project and im superstitious about upgrading before its done i guess

Lion's always worked just fine for me.

Mission Control alone is worth $30.

Very curious about this March announcement coming up. iPad 3 seems to be pretty likely, but I'm very curious about the rumors that the MacBook Air/MacBook Pro lines being merged. A 15" MBA would be pretty fantastic for me

MBA/MBP --> The New MacBook

imo

trying out the imessage beta, feels really confusing

paranoid that im missing messages, dont get it at all

hoping for a new iMac redesign to push me into replacing my current one

super confusing, the caller ID is a fucking mess, some outgoing messages randomly don't sync to other devices, high risk of coming back to your mac hours later to see what the other person thought was a text you would get on your phone. whole thing is a total shitshow

I sent a message to my iPad from my mbp & it was received about 10 seconds later; fwiw I don't usually get texts on my iPad so I can't say if I'm missing messages or not

id be a lot less paranoid if imessage wasnt also effectively an SMS replacement for me. i dont mind missing IMs but i need texts!

is it possible to uninstall it

doesn't look like it

Drag app to trash?

Yeah, but then if you had iMessage still active on the Mac and turned off on your iPhone, when people using it on their iPhones tried to text you, their text would go to the Mac and you'd never know about it

see the tortured sentences they have reduced us to

theres an uninstall option under the imessages menu thank god

lol just coming to post that

isn't the whole point of icloud etc. that everything gets pushed everywhere? like incoming iMessages should push to both your phone and mac?
