In addition to breaking all my AirPlay devices, I was amused to find that Yosemite also decided to flip Pages' rulers:

[beats me]

If your idevice sync and backup is entirely cloud based is it possible to put movies and TV shows from your library on to your idevice that you didn’t buy from iTunes? As far as I know there is no cloud backup of your movies and TV shows unless you bought them from iTunes.

[beats me]

This app is sweet.

After install tap any of the featured pictures.

[beats me]

Apple did their 1 to 7 stock split today. You can get a share for about $100 now.

93.47!!!

So uh, basically if there's any time to buy shares the moment is now?

Edit: oh ok so apparently there isn't much of a difference...

[beats me]

I’m sure it will cause more investment in Apple stock, but with the economy the way it is most people don’t have the money to throw at a $100 stock either. It’s good for rich people who have some spare change in their pocket they forgot about.

[regretfullySaid]

Well I figured if it's going to go back to 600+ even just 1 would be a good idea...

[beats me]

But that could take years and gain is gain but if you’re thinking in those terms which sounds better?

Drop $100 now and have a $600 a few years from now.

Or tighten the belt a bit now and

Drop $500 now and have $3,000 a few years from now.

But I really don’t see the stock climbing that high in just a couple years. Wall St. is somewhat having a love affair with Apple again but that will end once they remember Jobs is still dead.

[regretfullySaid]

Wasn't aware it could take years for it to get back to 600. I know jack shit about stocks and shares and all that.

[beats me]

The average expected rate of return on stock investments is under 10% during a fairly stable long term time frame.

$100 to $600 is a 500% rate of return.

Not exactly a realistic expectation.

If you want to use Handoff with OSX Yosemite and iOS 8 your Mac must have Bluetooth 4.




What is Handoff? If you're viewing a website, email, message, etc. on your iOS device when you get close to your Mac an icon will appear in the doc and when you click it, it will automatically bring that up on your Mac.

[beats me]

So in all likelihood the iPhone 6 is going to come out in 2 larger sizes than the current iPhone. Anybody brave enough to order one sight unseen? I think even I will have to physically check them out before I decide. Or not.

[H20nly]

not me. i really like the size of the 5. Jobs was right about the screen size... the bonus real estate on the 5 is cool, but i wouldn't want to fuck with the way it fits in my hand or my pocket for a few more rows of pixels. not worth it IMO.

I'll be too busy using my Amazon phone with one hand to care

They're really pushing the one handed thing. I bet the boys are wondering if the porn is in 3d too

As far as using a phone just for a phone though, have to agree with H.
For a a sec years back Motorola had this small thin phone that looked like a little calculator and you could barely notice you had it in your pocket with tight jeans on.

I'd rather have a small phone to use as a phone and an iPad mini to watch and read than always hassle with a little surfboard in my pocket.

[H20nly]

oh that's right! i totally forgot that my next phone is the Amazon Fire!
