The Wide, Wide World of Apple

[mongers]

I don't understand how they are pitching apple pay. While I can understand the transferring of funds to friends (sort of), I don't get why anyone would want to use their phone as a payment device. Too hard to swipe a credit card / pull out cash?

It's the boarding pass to hipsterville.

So I'm running 10.8.5

Should I update to Yosemite? Drawbacks?

Not if you want to experience a fully matured system, without any Wi-fi issues. There's Mavericks in the mean time for you.

I just wish they quit fucking around with redesigning iTunes with every patch. 
I blame Assburger programmers with the attention spans of gnats that can't sit still for 3 minutes without freebasing their Ritalin, let alone trying not to fuck with a UI.

Agreed. I haven't updated at home as I updated at work and was like what is this shit?

The 13" is too big, the 11" too small. In comes the 12" MacBook Air, supposedly much thinner than its predecessors with only two ports, a mini-jack plug and a USB C-Type, whatever that is.

I want one.

Oh, applehead.

[Liep]

Oh, applehead.

I know.

Although I will say I'm proud of myself for not buying the iPhone 6.




Yet.

They are making it difficult for me to hang on to my 4s.  Have to remove more and more apps so the new OS works without hiccups.

I avoid using my wife's iMac as far as possible.  The operating system is very user unfriendly.  There seems no right click function anywhere, so I find it most difficult to do basic functions like copy and paste.  Finally figured out that the command line is in the toolbar after much frustration. 

Then it hit me that I went through the exact same process 20 years ago in university.  That's why I put down the "Apple OS sucks" stamp in my psyche.

Wife bought me an iPhone 6 plus a few months ago, and so far I am happy with it.  I assumed that the fingerprint lock thing is just a marketing gimmick.  I was surprised to find that it actually worked and it was a more efficient way to unlock the phone.  I compared the screen with my wife's Samsung Galaxy Note, and we both agreed that the iphone 6 screen somehow looked better.  Despite having a large screen, the iphone 6 plus is actually lighter than the 4S.  Battery life is another plus.  I only need to recharge it every 3 or 4 days or so.  The wife needs to recharge her Samsung daily.

He's two up or two down, depending on how you look at it.

Or he's started to hit a lot of confused people on the golf course.
