it was kinda exciting moving from my old macbook to this macbook air b/c i didnt need to do either a full transfer OR choose files -- 90% of what i needed was "on the cloud" so i just installed dropbox + turned on itunes match and i had all of my music and documents at my fingertips. plus syncing for chrome meant all my bookmarks and prefs and so on.

had to d/l a coupla hoonja doonjas but otherwise was the smoothest-ever transition to a new computer

what a welfare queen, riding the system.

xp For long-form writing/research, Scrivener is the way to go.

was thinking of mentipning some of the book editing pro tools

but i kept wanting to call it bartleby or samuel and anyway i know nothing about it

how is it?

i tried scrivener back in grad school but found it really confusing

Just realized my current hardware (5 yrs old) won't run the new OS.

so photostream is very cool and def beats plugging in my iphone whenever i want to import photos. however i can't tell if the photos are being saved on my laptop? i know that photostream has a time limit for storing photos. any idea how i make sure i have them saved to my computer?

go into photostream either in iphoto or aperture

import the photos you want into your library before you delete them off iphone

it's kind of a pain but there's probably an even easier way to do it

i think maybe it did it automatically for me (the import) bc when i try to drag the photostream photos into my library it tells me that it's a duplicate. i've got events in my library labeled things like July 2012 Photo Stream and August 2012 Photo Stream.

ok that seems like how it should be working, i think i have it set up to only grab the ones i tell it to or maybe it's because i am using aperture. i dunno, i am a mega noob bout this.

Fuck photo stream. Dropbox introduced photo sync a few months back. I plug in my phone and it grabs all photos.

w/ photostream tho you don't need to plug in your phone

BOOOOYAAAAAAA

w/ photostream tho you don't need to plug in your phone stop texting while on speakerphone

Scrivener has proven useful for a bunch of screenplay projects I've done, I actually kinda dig it even though I feel I'm not using it to it's full potential or anything

yeah, yeah...I still find it more useful to use dropbox. I don't want to look at iPhoto ever again in my life. Dropbox makes it easier for me to share it. To have it synced on my computer w/o using iPhoto.

seems to be fucking up bad w/ chrome graphics a lot, all sorts of LOL video tearing

so far the only "retina" things going on here - aside from astoundingly superior color and clarity - is my super HD background wallpaper and aperture

bring on autocad

and sketchup HD

eat it samsung

lol

wow samsung has to pay almost as much as if they'd pirated seventeen songs

maybe samsung could update the apple desktop line since apple have seemingly no interest in doing so.

switched to safari cause apparently RMBP can't deal with chrome ?

ah well, it seems like mt lion safari is actually a pretty shit-hot browser, but there's still an amazing amount of flash-based stupidity happening in the browser.

just kill flash and be done with it adobe

samsung probably knew they were fucked when the jury got the case on a wednesday. nobody wants to work through the weekend.

wondering how much the court costs were.

2 billion dollars

no joke

New iPhone Thursday week weeeeee

Big screen! Thinner! New connector....ugh

Aluminum casing! Fuck you iPhone cases!

why is my superdrive USB cable so short? fuck you apple. is it meant to sit athwart a time capsule or something?

it's just one of those apple products you're not supposed to want, thus they make it shitty

i almost believe you

same reason the iPod classic hasn't gotten a size upgrade in years, they don't really want you to buy one

at this point, it must cost them virtually nothing to make right?

12?

12 iphones, minimum order, u need them all

unveiling on 12 September

well it's safe to assume now that it will indeed be called the "iPhone 5", not "the new iPhone" or "iPhone 6".

What do you all think about the new, smaller connector? I like that you can insert it in either direction and that it's smaller, but having to keep 9-to-30 pin adapters around to use the ubiquitous USB cables or any iPod/iPhone speaker or accessory made over the last 10 years is going to suck.

I'm also undecided on which of the three US carriers to go with - it's Verizon's best overall coverage and 4G/LTE availability vs. AT&T's normal GSM network and its advantages (interchangable SIM cards, ability to talk and use internet at the same time, etc.) vs. Sprint's unlimited data and (likely) no price premium for Facetime-over-3G.

iPhone also available on a couple US PAYG services now. Cricket and Virgin at least. No handset subsidy obviously.

It's also available in the US unlocked with no contract, but v. expensive. I'll probably go with one of the subsidized phones with a 2-year contract.

well it's safe to assume now that it will indeed be called the "iPhone 5", not "the new iPhone" or "iPhone 6".

my money's on 'the new iphone'

im goin w 'iphone'

New dock connector is a fucking scam. At least when they did this stuff in the past it was to make things better, but there's not a single thing that justifies losing access to power basically anywhere you go.

What do you think the 5 in the shadow refers to, AA?

people's expectations

there's not a single thing that justifies losing access to power basically anywhere you go.

whaaaa?
