New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

the discovery that their co-workers might be responsible for defiling the precious objects led them to riot yesterday

God damn, I hate the iphone. I had a nasty falling out with my sister over it. I just don't think it is cute or ergonomic. Everyone tells me to get one "for the music". It has all of these hard edges. I just think they are ugly and un-phonelike. Then my mom got an ipad and it's cool for people who aren't heavy into computers...but as soon as I get the money I'm getting a Macbook pro. What's sad is many CAD programs aren't available for Mac so I always need a PC. But I miss the laptops.

Besides, I don't use itunes anymore since it lost its charm a long time ago plus someone at work (in house job?) hacked all of our itunes and that kind of ruined the experience for a lot of us. Believe it or not, I switched to Windows Media Player until Spotify came along.

I need to buy a few copies of Windows for my Mac-using office to use w/ boot camp. I assume Windows 7 is the best, most affordable option but when I search for a copy to buy I get confused. Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit (Full) System Builder DVD 1 Pack -- is this what i want? i don't even know what it means! can someone here w/ more experience than me w/ boot camp link me up to the thing on amazon I need to buy so I can become WORKPLACEHERO???

you probably want this

I had a nasty falling out with my sister over it.

Seriously? How does that happen?

only "toilet paper: over or under" causes more nuclear family detonations iirc

xxp is there a cheaper version? maybe personal edition instead of professional?

People are strange

There's Home Premium: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002DHGMK0

Also if you can wait Windows 8 is going to be uber-cheap in the first few months. It's out in a couple of weeks iirc

^^^^ this too

i use my iphone for the music, the best music comes with iphone, everyone knows that

that means my work pc will be three operating systems out of date

THREE

I already have Windows 8 on a virtual machine running on my MBP ^_^

kinda want to take my iMac to boot camp, but don't want to actually pay money for windows

if only there were some way to get software for free

maybe i'll write a letter to bill gates, i am basically related to him (actually sort of true, in a "my parents were genetically required to be at a wedding that he was required to attend by marriage")

omg the 'g' in 'gbx' stands for 'gates' as in 'bill gates, richest man in america'

gates bill x billion dollars

did anyone else using imessage get an alert last night that their phone number is now tied to the desktop app?

i.e. i can now receive imessages sent to my phone number on my desktop computer, which was the big thing it was missing

yeah sorry that was me i texted you on behalf of steve jobs

I got alerts as soon as I added anything to any device

i got an alert that said max's phone number was now tied to his desktop app

yeah sorry

could you set that up for me? mine doesn't seem to be tied yet. don't tie it to max's account, though. thanks.

Hey can anyone tell me why Sprint plans are so much cheaper than AT&T and Verizon? Is there something I'm misunderstanding?

their service sucks?

Google's Schmidt: We've not done anything yet about putting Google Maps back on iPhone

:(

slightly annoyed that my wife's phone is already in the US and mine is still in Korea

DTMFA

hey look at it this way, your wife doesn't get to travel to korea to pick up her iphone

Ugh, ios 6 update ota is now taking up 2gb of my iPhone 4. presumably no way to get rid of it w/out installing?

Schmidt did reveal that Apple and Google do talk “every day”, however.

aw

whatre you doin?

oh i dunno mappin stuff i guess

http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/09/google-may-have-an-ios-mapping-app-in-the-works-after-all/

doesnt really seem like something that should take a company w/the resources of google until the end of the year to finish

what do they have one guy working part time on it

my wife is delighted by her phone and she hasn't even turned it on yet

FYI, got phones for Carl and I yesterday and neither had any scuffs.

Guys I just used apple maps to go somewhere and i got there.

Also the cache meant I could use it on the underground. Maybe everything will be okay
