New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

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.

still love those g4 imacs

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

otm, I don't know how many times I've almost dropped the bloody thing trying to reach the far corner with one hand

was that Death Grips?

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

oh god. just saw sna, taking it back. ever so sorry.

(zing doesn't betray the degree of the shitstorm)

SO I was watching QVC last night and they were selling apple products in the craziest freakin' colors like metallic lavender, metallic red etc and their special of the day was the iPad 4th generation. Is this isn't iPad 4, right? Just iPad 3 with different connectors?

No, it has a faster processor too.

was wishing I had the ipad 4's A6X processor while playing the walking dead

http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/31/3937442/apple-discontinuing-mac-pro-in-europe-over-regulatory-standards wtf

hopefully the redesign will sidestep the violated reg?

reg is hardly new, seems weird that they didn't fix it in the last bump.

128GB ipad 4 coming next week

My iMac has finally shipped from Shanghai!

there should really be more of an alert that your machine is booting into safe mode than a small banner near the top of a login screen; I spent a good 90 minutes yesterday convinced that I'd gotten a virus that had ruined all javascript sites in Chrome and had vaporized my CD drive before I remembered and rebooted

My wife's left Shift key on her MBP has gotten a weird glitch now where it thinks its being pressed at random times. Her puter booted up into safe mode a bunch of times, then wouldn't take her password, before we figured out what was happening. Anyone know a not-permanently-destructive way to disable that key?

plugging a USB keyboard in shouldn't disable the built-in, but I'd try it anyway to see if it affects the behavior at all.

first comment here might help? xp http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=2011051714140216

I'm sure it was the first thing you tried, but have you tapped on that key like there's no tomorrow? I've experienced a gummed up key or two in my day, not necessarily due to any foreign object or substance, just the springiness getting stuck. Sometimes you can dislodge it.

Yeah she's sometimes had luck with pugilizing that key, sometimes not. I should say it's not physically stuck in any way. Feels like it's a problem with how it tells the computer it's pressed/not pressed.

xpost hm so the idea is to remap so that the left shift key is not the left shift key anymore?

ah right i see what you want to do. yeah ignore that comment then, but look into http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/

i'm not usually a fan of ppl using this thread for tech support, but i have a question so i'm going to be a hypocrite: for a while i had been sending and receiving imessages exclusively from my imac. then i got an ipad mini and for whatever reason none of those messages showed up in the messages app. at least when i checked a little while ago they weren't there. is there a way to get that old stuff to show up on the ipad or will stuff only start showing up on both devices now that i have two devices?

i know it's like a thing that icloud isn't perfect but, man, icloud really isn't perfect
