I've been using it for a day - 6/10 Some features are absolutely great. However, the visual changes are sickening. Very feminine. It feels like like a wedding book merged with the operating system. It really does. Apple knows who their target audience is, and its dominated by females...

Got access (via work) to a A00 2007wfp - I nice screen that is considered "old" by the school. Anyhow. I plugged it in and it worked. I could see the OSD and appeared fine. Obviously, I wanted to see if it was the IPS panel by pressing menu and + as I turned it off. I then held them in as I...

Depends - not if the update breaks needed apps. For example, I was on Snow Leopard due to compatibility issues with ExamView (test writing app). Also, given the changes they made to SMB in 10.7 - I know a few others still running 10.6.

If only this would work with my new MacMini....alas I do not think that it will. I have a Dell U3011 with an Apple 1920 X 1200 Cinema Display mounted directly over it. This would be a perfect replacement for the Apple - about the same dot pitch and width.

I never said it cannot support it - my issue was with practicality. Also, a point of clarification. I'm so used to single link/ dual link DVI that I used dual to refer to DP Version 1.2 Anyhow - the issue is not with the standard - its with the implementation of it on the hardware side...

Please... Single Display Port cannot support that - you would need dual DP, which is not supported my many video cards. Dell and the panel makers has to make products that work well in the existing ecosystem. 2560 wide works well... 3200 would not.

The only advantage is for the local gov that gets a cut of the pie.

FYI - I'm using the late 2012 Mini (2.6 i7 w/ 16 GB RAM) to run a Dell U3011 (2560 X 1200) and an Apple Cinema Display (1920 X 1200). If your monitor has DisplayPort - jsut get a MiniDP to DP cable for 10-15$ from amazon. The only issue you may run into is the lack of a Display Port on...

Its a flawed system - simple as that. Apple assembles great hardware and has a nice OS - however time after time they fail on the software add-on (e.g. Mobile Me) side. Google on the other side offers a far better back-end. I'm an Apple Fan, but, its clear that the Apple back-end is a slanty...

There is a difference between showing and emphasizing it. Looking at all the promotion material on Apple.com - there is no sight of it. The only side profile image we see is on an iMac History and that image is pretty low res. http://www.apple.com/imac/ Take a gander at this...

Kind if lame how that mole-faced lard-o (Phil Shiller) was trying to hide the bubble on the back to make it appear as flat during the on-stage announcement. With that said, I'm still considering a purchase of the 27 inch.

The ONLY reason that I'm looking at a mini now is because it comes with a Lighting Cable and 12W power adaptor. I need extras of these, and if purchased from Apple,it will cost me 40$.

I was not aware the "Jump the Shark" had a proper definition. Let me rephrase - Apple has had a near hegemony in the mobile phone space for several years. The iPhone 5 will, I think, be viewed in coming years as a point of demarcation where this dominance started to fade. Not to say they...

I kept mine - but it has become my least favorite of the iPhone series. They really dropped the ball going to with edge on the aluminum. I know this is an overused term - but I think this phone will be widely seen in the next five years as the one that Apple "Jumped the Shark" with.

I can see past the occasional error. What I cannot stand are the hangs. For example, I will say "Call Mom". Within a second it shows "call mom" on screen - but hangs with completing the call. The hang can range from 10-15 seconds and often never making the call at all. The same thing happen...
