9 to 5 Mac | Apple Intelligence : Apple airs incredible new TV ad all about iCloud

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 02:46:30 +0000

Not sure I agree. Sent this video to my Mom, who, after my myriad attempts at trying to explain iCloud to her, finally got it after watching. “Automatic” makes sense when given the type of context Apple has given in this video.

9 to 5 Mac | Apple Intelligence : Facebook shooting for late January iPad app update with Timeline profile support

Interesting. I have a 2011 13” MacBook Air .. using Safari I have zero issues with Facebook's timeline. Maybe it's a browser issue or something else. There's nothing special going on that would cause your computer to perform terribly.

9 to 5 Mac | Apple Intelligence : iOS 5.1 roundup: new iPhone, iPad, Apple TV references, minor tweaks

Interesting.. I've never experienced any sort of WiFi issues before, and from the almost 24 hours I've had 5.1 installed, haven't experienced any WiFi issues either (and I've primarily been on wifi for the most part). Maybe your hardware is defective? I'd take it to Apple have them replace it.

9 to 5 Mac | Apple Intelligence : Last minute whispers: iPhone 4S pricing and October 14th launch date?

Tue, 4 Oct 2011 01:32:30 +0000

Whatever happens tomorrow were choices made when Jobs was at the helm, and the same with the 3Gs; I don't see how that reflects upon Cook, at least to those that understand how all of this works.

Tue, 4 Oct 2011 01:15:39 +0000

Why? The lack of a cosmetic change is a enough to deter you from purchasing the next iPhone? Do you hate the iPhone 4's form factor? Would a huge bump in speed, battery life and camera (and who know's what else internally) not be enough to upgrade? Just curious.

No, I'm a heavy user, just not a heavy user of 3G; I use WiFi when I can to preserve battery.

11GB? Sheesh, I'm a pretty heavy user and I barely break 1GB a month; and that includes streaming Spotify, uploading photos to Facebook/Twitter, etc.
