New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

he doesn't have a pc afaik, so i guess, but i will ask him for deets.

p.s. did you see the epic orlowski history of bbc news in the register? is it worth reading?

ha no i haven't! orlowski is almost always worth reading though.

What's the retina screen thing like then? Improve eyesore and enjoyment, or basically just a frippery?

I now refuse to look at anything else.

otm

once you do without pixels, any presence of pixels is an actual obstruction

I still stand by my "characters are letterpressed directly on the screen" description. Non-retina on the iPad Mini is 100% deal break.

conversely it means I know exactly when I'm going to buy an iPad mini.

What's the retina screen thing like then? Improve eyesore and enjoyment, or basically just a frippery?

I have an iPhone 5, which has a Retina display, and a 2010 MacBook Pro, which does not. I can't see any difference but it sounds like others can.

lol

orlowski is almost always worth reading though.

really? aside from his pet crusades against global warming and wikipedia and google?

can't go back to iphone 4S after using the 5

Retina is great on both my Ipad and Pro, especially if you do a lot of reading – text looks fantasticaly crisp and is more legible and readable as a result. Also, the ability to adjust the amount of screen real-estate on the Pro is very handy is you are working with multiple windows.

In terms of total size, the 13” Air is smaller than the 13” MBP because it is thinner and about 20% lighter, but the retina display would be a deal breaker for me if money is not an object.

Orlowski is great because crazy IMO. Still haven't read that article though ha

re: crusades against global warming i think you're confusing him with lewis page

when i say "worth reading" i don't mean "he is right" i mean "i am entertained and provoked"

tl;dr should I share my music library info with apple;

is getting itunes to DL the missing album art "worth it"

will i go to gaiol?

I don't know what Gaiol is but yes, it's worth it

sorry - "gaol"

they don't care, and it makes you get album art and the genius feature works, so submit all that info right now

Ed III, thanks. I'm using a Lumia 920 and I basically agree, there are some quirks (can't change font size in browser) and omissions (poor PDF support (?!?!)) but it does most of what you need it to.

what does apple's exec board makeup look like? every apple keynote in memory has been such a sausage fest. i dunno why looking at that picture of ive makes me think of gender imbalance but it does.

sausage fest

Apple tho likely doesn't deserve especial criticism beyond that we extend to the tech industry as a whole for the under-representation of women in technical roles, let alone leadership roles.

ive's wearing all denim, maybe it's a tom of finland style sausage fest up in there

I feel like Ive is going to headbutt me in that picture and I'd be more comfortable if there was someone like Marissa Meyer going, "No, jonathan, what did we say about using our inside forehead?"

probably for another thread but still relevant imo: we've been trying fairly hard to address a gender imbalance in my (software dev) team and have managed to recruit a couple of women recently, but my god has it been difficult. part of that is hoping women will apply for the roles we're advertising, but it's also based on individual merit—we simply can't employ someone who's not right for the job. our ceo is female and senior management is (afaict) well balanced, but the discrepancy on the tech side is still heavily out of whack.

fwiw i'm not making excuses for the snapplefest upthread. every time i see that board photo i cringe. wasn't there a female ex-avon (or something) ceo up there at some point (possibly token)?

the BoD has one woman on it

And good on ya for the recruiting push AA, but man, by the time you get to recruiting, the bullshit that deters women from technical careers has done most of its work. Try googling for "hacker con sexual harassment" or "comic con sexual harassment" or "fake nerd girls" or "fighting games rape" and get a glimpse how deeply ingrained misogyny is in just some of the online and offline communities that young women who might be interested in tech work will deal with long before they are on the job market.

it's utter poison

this is totally not the thread for it though

yeah, sorry, the derail is my fault

pfft someday I'll get angry enough to post this derail in every thread

otfm

the worst is when conference organisers or the like get butthurt about being called out on their shit and come over all "we just selected the very best proposals and they all happened to be from white guys like us so we are powerless what do you want?"

In other Apple news, they've cut their orders for iPhone 5 screens by half, reportedly. I never did like it; the screen seems too long. Screenshots from it always seem weird.

bom, tish

Apple need to fix LTE so it's properly global before I buy a 5

it's not a real software developer presentation unless you can include pictures of women in bikinis in your presentation slides

tl;dr should I share my music library info with apple;

is getting itunes to DL the missing album art "worth it"

will i go to gaiol?

Related to this: if I let it get me album art

1. will it recognize albums wherein the tracks and number of tracks are the same as issued but I've retagged the artist, genre etc names? (This is almost everything in my collection)
2. if yes to 1., when adding the artwork will it switch all the tags back to its own preferred ones, away from my customized ones?
3. will it recognize incomplete albums?
4. Will I go to Ga'Hoole?

1. sometimes
2. no
3. sometimes
4. no

1. in my experience no

this was posted on the Chicago thread, but i thought it was worth sharing more.

I never did like it; the screen seems too long.

Apple Store with a drive-through, now I've seen everything.
