New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

i think there's still a slight lag

Doesn't TeamViewer let you do that sort of connection

yeah my brother runs a vnc through his ipad to a mini, but he doesn't use an external monitor so the lag / resolution are no prob. I want to run to bigass monitors so that may be a problem...but I could run wire so I dunno...

prob just easier to buy a few minis but it seems like overkill just to run dropbox + text editing / latex + browsers, like I don't need to do anything computationally hard on each of the would-be terminals

i use built in wireless VNC from my air to my mini a lot and it basically sucks, i wouldnt want to use it as a regular setup

yeah - i think there may also be technical limitations to how far you can push dvi/hdmi signals before you need a repeatero r something. like 25 feet? idk

Euler, check out this one if you're looking at iPhone/iPad options:

Slight lag, but it basically lets you use an iPad as an additional monitor.

dropbox + text editing / latex + browsers

I have no idea if there are any iPad apps that support latex formatting but really, this is what I use an iPad on its own for, often

yeah that would work, but I'd like to have a monitor bigger than an iPad also. guess I could try seeing if it can handle that.

I also want to log in different simultaneous users on the server to run different clients in different rooms with their own i/o...not sure if air-display can handle that

The other option, especially if you don't care about running OS X apps per se, would be to run a X11 client or iSSH on an iPad and a X server on one computer.

There are probably some thin client options out there that support X11 as well

lol raspberry pi

i'm getting the feeling it would be cheaper or more efficient to try to snag some cheap thin clients for VNC rather than running a remote reverse KVM setup

Kind of what I was getting at, there -- you could run X11 apps off a mac server, have a bunch of raspberry pi computers running X locally for display. Much snappier than VNC since it's basically made for remote drawing of apps.

are there cheap thin clients for vnc that can run multiple simultaneous sessions of os x?

yeah I've been using it in a collaborative project & it's good!

Euler if you can explain what your functional use-case is rather than just the solution you think you need we might be able to recommend something viable.

snap?

I don't understand the question

I guess maybe this: I want to be able to have multiple terminals at home running OS X but I don't want to have to buy more than monitors and keyboards and mice for them. I want one machine doing the serving. I aldo want it to serve media but that part is easy.

do you want different people to be able to log in at the same time, and to see different things on their screen?

new panic app http://www.macstories.net/reviews/panic-status-board-review/

yes

can anybody help out:

today my macbook's wifi started getting wonky. specifically, after about half an hour of not being used, it starts having trouble accessing pages - requests time out all the time. when requests do go through, it's fast though. turning airport on and off doesnt do anything. i trashed the pref files in library/preferences/systemconfig but that didnt work. the only fix is to restart the computer, but the issue comes back if i leave the macbook idle. any ideas??

i solved it i think it was ap roblem with the router

I have had that issue, sometimes it's a shitty Dns server setting. Reboot router, add google dns.

"Our teams are hard at work on some amazing new hardware, software that should be okay by version 3, and terrible flaky unusable services that we can't wait to introduce in the fall and into 2014. We remain very confident in our product plan."

"I assure you that we're working very closely with manufacturing partners to achieve a very exciting roadmap."

Bad choice of words considering their still quite recent disaster.

this is really just cook addressing that stock value drop by saying 'but wait there's new stuff', citing a time frame that happens every year

but the rumour mill will go gonzo anyway

heard from a bird that some manager at apple is tearing his own face off due to recent manufacturing problems.

is it for alts

you know it

Sounds like they're basically asking for an Apple version of MSDN, and I don't know if that's in Apple's "corporate DNA".

i haven't even read this yet but http://www.marco.org/2013/04/25/instapaper-next-generation

I’m happy to announce that I’ve sold a majority stake in Instapaper

Key sentence, ignore the rest

:-/

Bailed on Instapaper for the superior Pocket a couple months ago.

lol

Betaworks, that company that owns Digg now, just bought Instapaper, that app you use to read articles on the bus. This is exciting, because Betaworks has done a very nice job with Digg—but now Instapaper creator Marco Arment will have more time to tweet about his BMW.

Pocket is the better app, Instapaper is the better article parser. Pocket does a shit job sometimes.

There is space for both in my life: Pocket is great for all non-text stuff to check later (videos, mp3 embeds, flash doodles) - Instapaper for serious reading.

Ack, I use Instapaper every day pretty much. I like that it's not really multi-functional - I don't need it to do other things.

Basically as long as they don't change a thing I'll be happy.
