on another note... this, i'm sure, is not exclusive to the iPhone, but i got a new CD player for my car on Saturday that uses bluetooth. i love it... i have a track/album playing on my phone... i arrive at my destination, turn off the car, and get out... i start the car when i leave... and the song continues from the exact spot.
due to this, i've decided to give technology, beyond the pencil, a second chance and have lowered my utter malice to a suspicious loathing.
I’m still rocking a cassette deck with a cabled cassette adaptor.
Does that make me a hipster?
Even if I had a bluetooth stereo I’d still need one with a cabled aux in it because I rock an iPod Classic for HD space and logistical reasons.
Does that make me a lesser hipster?

No thoughts on the keynote?

Here's my thought on the keynote:
Zzzzzz.

What about multi-page folders/folders in folders?

it only contributes to your hipsterism if there is a PBR in your cup holder, a scarf on your neck or your back seat, and your t-shirt is wittle too tight.

I think the word hip is cursed think about it, hippies, hiphop, hipsters..... Everything with hip in it gets a bad rap.
What's the first thing that breaks on your elders, their hips mmhmmm.
Personally I think apple grew to fast, they turned innovation into a fad and now it's played out.

I figured out why people don't write a lot of book reviews on iBooks.
They'd have to type out the thing on a damn iPad or iPhone.

My parents’ friend is getting a Mac and wants to pay me to migrate some files from his PC.
A. I don’t work in IT.
B. Paying somebody to do something assumes they are some kind of expert.
C. I am not a Mac expert nor a dual platform expert.
D. Googling something does not make you an expert.
E. Paying somebody to do something has a insinuated guarantee something won’t go horribly wrong.
F. I underestimate my abilities and am not comfortable with that being challenged with financial gain.

Is it also available on iPhone? If it is, it would be THE LITTLEST HBO GO - "Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down..."

isn't there a wizard for that when you first turn on the Mac?
yes... i'm pretty fucking sure... all you need is a USB cable in one hand and the other hand outstretched for the cash to be placed in it.
press Enter with your nose.

I think it’s a generational thing from when people were used to asking somebody else to do something they weren’t completely comfortable with. I couldn’t tell you how many times my mom has texted me with some issue I didn’t get to responding to and she figured it out herself once she spends more than 2 minutes on it.
On that note, my mom is well invested in Apple products and yesterday she texted me about my opinion on the Kindle Fire HD. She got roped in by the advertisement on the Amazon site and the lower than the iPad Mini price. No, just no.

I saw that commercial recently and thought "Oh that Amazon bit is going to be THE selling point for the Branson crowd"...
