> you can't buy Snow Leopard media anymore

Yes you can, providing you call Apple.

> Wait a minute. The iPhone 5 doesn't do that. Hey, but it's longer, thinner and faster. What else do you want?

Sadly, you're mistaken. http://i.imgur.com/SPBUH.png

If you're iPhone doesn't have it, blame your carrier http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937

Shouldn't tablets be avoiding subpixel anti-aliasing if they can be turned on the side? Doesn't it just _not work_?

If you visit the site on iOS, it will prompt you to download the Apple Store app.

iPhone 4s is unable to be used on both GSM and CDMA networks because of the carriers unwillingness to let 'foreign' devices onto their network.

It kind of already is http://store.apple.com/us/product/H6334VC/A/lark-un-alarm-cl...

I've recently fallen in love with Automator. Although it make have a few limitations, you can get around it by embedding AppleScript or Python.

In two minutes I made a quick and dirty system wide workflow to download the selected URL.

OS X has dead simple automatic backup built in. In fact, whenever you plug in a compatible hard drive, Time Machine will prompt you to enable.

Apple has already done everything they should.

Always assume that every change you make is saved automatically, much like cutting down a physical photo.

If you still want the original photo, and another cut down version, you would use a photo copier to Duplicate the original, then cut the copy.

Wikipedia isn't a blog where you just browse through all articles. You have to actively seek out articles on each topic.

> take it to small claims court and it will get sorted in no time

Hope you're not under the impression that Apple will just 'cave in' and fix it out of court to minimise hassel.

> If Apple could have replaced my logic board at no cost to themselves, then why in the hell did they drag this out for so long, and why did they send two people to court to try and make sure that I got absolutely nothing? Friends, this is a question I have been asking myself for three months, and it is a question that I do not have the answer to.

> forbids a seller from requiring a guarantee that already covers their implicit rights.

AppleCare is not required, and in includes other things that are not covered under implicit rights, such as onsite support, or telephone support outside of 1 incident/90 days.

> Are Apple employee's forbidden to release their own apps?

Yeah, we're forbidden from it. Conflict of interest.

That's funny.

I find using a microwave to boil water so... strange and unnatural. I'm not sure why, but its just odd. That's what a kettle is for!

When it comes tax time, isn't it the individuals responsibility to report all their income?

When I did exchange I had one teacher who would say ええと (eeto) every second word.

GOD BLESS THE QUEEN

> What are we looking forward to a decade from now? iBank? FB insurence? G+ real state?

GE sells refrigerators, MRI machines, insurance & financing and owns a television network.

We've actually already been there.

> People hate on Google Apps

Really?

Do you know of any other (free) options out there with comparable options? I really only use the hosted email, but other features are always handy

If someone says 'don't call me', can't the salesperson then just delete their phone number?

Do they go to cashwrap, or do they have just 'standalone' chip+pin terminals in the store?

> I've drunk the Kool-Aid just like many of you.

There's a difference between drinking the Kool-Aid and knowing why people drink the Kool-Aid

You just described python cgi scripts

Customers who bought the 4G iPad before the 28th March had until the 25th of April to approach Apple for a refund.

Gestures are keyboard shortcuts for the mouse/trackpad. The thing about Mac is that none of these gestures are actually needed for the OS. Pretty much every gesture has a corresponding Dock item to launch it as well.

Gestures are an extra. An added bonus. Think the multitasking gestures for iOS 5 on iPad

Do you have a new iPad (or iPhone 4S) with Dictation turned on? Try this one: Press and letter and then the microphone button quickly and repeat. Instead of interrupting your quick typing, it will register the press as a space instead.

Apple pays attention to the details.

With sound, you can break the stream into the same pattern of drop every time

OS X is not really that locked down. There is quite a lot you can go through and change and customise and tinker until your heart is content.

Why I love OS X.

I remember using Terminal to change every single .string string to "LOL" on one of the school macs. Good times indeed...

Just out of curiosity, what is making you move towards Linux?

The huge appeal of OS X to me is, as someone said on here recently, it's basically *BSD with a fancy window manager and 1-to-1 hardware/software integration.
