Generally miffed at something? Let the world know.

Find my iPhone also works with iPod Touches, by the way. We have four and I do like that feature.
But, I also think Apple will expand MobileMe features this year.

I can't believe I prepaid for another year of mobile me right before they made find my iphone free. :(

I listened to Mac Geek Gab podcast today. And they reminded me that BACK TO MY MAC is a great feature. I used that when I was at Mayo, to watch my kids, and to fix our home computers.

Logmein.com is Mac/Windows compatible and has a free option too. Although I sometimes wonder how all these companies make their money...

Selling your data.

I don't like piece-mealing it all together. Even at work we try to buy an integrated, one-vendor solution instead of open-source, free, multiple parts.

Flash. Upgraded to the 10.2 player, and a lot, but not all, video shows up as a black screen - no playback. Shows up as a known issue for "some Macintosh systems with NVidia 9400, GT 320, or GT 330 GPUs," of which my MBP is one. Seems to have something to do with hardware acceleration, although turning it off didn't help.

Anyone else have this problem?

And why do a lot of Adobe URLs still have macromedia.com as the domain?

The crApp store.

90% of the apps for sale on there are garbage anyhow but I thought I'd try to buy Angry Birds for the Mac.

Currently getting the whirling wheel of indecisiveness. Have tried this twice previously but no joy. Says I have no purchases but I am wondering whether I'll be charged three times for no App.

Color me unimpressed...

Whenever I try to order something, I get the beachball. Nothing in the console logs. It doesn't stop until I do something. I never know what will break the beachball. Most recently, after about 2 minutes of spinning, I opened the Force Quit window from the Apple menu. Immediately, the beach ball stopped and the dialog prompting me for my Apple ID and password came up and the sale proceeded normally. I don't remember how I broke the beach ball the times before this. It might have been launching another app or command-tabbing to another running app.

Any way you look at it, though, it ain't running well.

Oh, look how easy it is to convert Mac Quicken data for Windows Quicken. Note the enormous lists of things that won't transfer or that will need manual editing before or after transfer. Between two versions of their own software.

Dunderfucks. Lion better include Rosetta.

Intuit stopped taking Quicken for Mac seriously more than a decade ago--which maybe was understandable at the time, but which is now nothing short of infuriating. A few months after I got my Intel iMac in 2007, I installed Fusion and XP just so that I could run the Windows version of Quicken. Maddening.

Well, why not run Quicken in Windows? These days I run Windows apps just as easy on the Mac as native Mac apps. For all intends and purposes YellowBox is finally here. Visio runs absolutely wonderful in window.

I could run my Boot Camp partition in VMWare, but I don't want to give Intuit more money and a reason to say, "Look, another Mac user became a Windows user. We made the right choice abandoning the Mac!"

Besides, as I mentioned a few posts earlier, converting 5 years' of Mac Quicken files to Windows Quicken files is a non-trivial and potentially error-prone process.

Well, if I may make a suggestion; quit giving Intuit money all together and migrate to an alternative package.

Bruce Robertson – February 28, 2011 12:22PM Reply Quote
OK. That package would be ... what?

I've tried using Quicken Windows, but it's too hard to convert. Would take me months.

Isn't Quicken what happens after you have some diarrhetic?
