I have to agree with the OP. Most of the front end features such as Launchpad and three+ finger multigestures are from iOS.
Then don't use LP and revert your trackpad settings to how they were.
Sure there are some tweaks under the hood, but for desktop/professional users of OS X, I need power refinement not cute little icons that wiggle.
There are refinements in Lion, ones which were long over due. Also the wiggly icons are just part of LP, I don't see why you're complaining about a feature which is not imposed on you in any way.
Leave that **** to the iOS kiddies and focus on OS X.
I'm at a loss as what this sentence means.
The only thing Apple is doing is dumbing down OS X to make it easier for the iDevice groupies to move into laptop systems or an iMac.
What exactly was "dumbed down"? I haven't found anything I couldn't do in Lion, that I could in 10.6.
Apple doesn't give two ****'s about us professionals who kept them from folding during their chapter 11 days in the 90's before Jobs came back. It's all about consumer market share, making their products in Taiwan now and $50+ billion in cash reserves.
And that's related to their latest OS, how?
Bah, it's just a bandwagon to jump on. Nothing is removed. Nothing is "dumbed down". It's just something to complain about.

So I don't know if the problem is with my Mac, my camera or just me but anyways...
I have a camera and when I try to turn it on it says "write protect" because the files/pictures on it are read-only. To fix this it says to "download the image to a computer and cancel the read-only setting." So after doing this, the pictures on my computer are read and write (and I can change them) but the files in the camera device folder are still read only and I can't edit them at all. Anyone know what the problem is? I hope this makes sense...
Thanks!

I will be going to Natick as well, not too sure what time though. All I do know is that it will definitely be early!

I use SubEthaEdit only. Just my pref. There are some CSS editors out that that provide a live preview of the style you are creating. You might want to have a look at those.

Back in 2002 I saw a Mac Plus being used in the University of Iowa main library's shipping department. It appeared to be running an ancient version of Microsoft Excel.
I'm more into Apple IIs than Macs, and I've seen some evidence of them in the wild. The Apple II's expandability made it an early favorite of scientists who needed to interface it with a variety of instruments, and it seems it's still hanging around. Examples:
An Apple II Plus (manufactured 1979-1983) being used at Dartmouth for lower-level physics labs:
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~physics/labs/descriptions/ball.spring.html
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~physics/labs/descriptions/projectile.motion.html
The pages are dated 5/21/2004 and 6/16/2004. Identified in the equipment list:
1 Apple II+ computer
2 monitors
1 video camera
1 imagewriter printer/paper
2 AppleStrobe software disks
http://www.easyscreens.info/gallery/20100830/3.jpg
An Apple IIe (from the look of it, a pre-Platinum model, which would place it 1983-1986), being used with a Finnigan MAT-251 mass spectrometer at the Earth Systems Center for Stable Isotopic Studies at Yale:
http://earth.geology.yale.edu/escsis/escsis2006.ppt (PowerPoint file - page 3 shows the setup)
It seems the Apple IIe was the standard controller for the MAT-251. They had this setup as of but their homepage now notes: "The system has been retired and cannibalized long ago." :(
http://www.easyscreens.info/gallery/20100830/4.png
Another Apple IIe, used with another mass spectrometer, at the Trofimuk United Institute of Geology in Novosibirsk, Russia:
http://list.uvm.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0512&L=ISOGEOCHEM&P=R6818
The post is dated 12/15/2005:
We have some troble with Apple IIe computer which is operating of MAT
Delta mass-spec.
Only symptom is blinking of all leds, including leds in floppy slots, in
keyboard and power on led inside the computer.
Power unit was checked and is Ok.
Any advise will be highly appreciated.
Six days later, he fixes it the old-fashioned way:
http://list.uvm.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0512&L=ISOGEOCHEM&P=R8422
On case anybody still playng with such old machine.
Symptoms: nothing working. All leds are blinking. Screen is also
blinking. Power unit looks Ok. Live looks horrible.
Solution: do not believe to your tester!!! Replace ALL electrolytic
capacitors in Power unit.
Strictly speaking, I doubt it was necessary to replace all the capacitors, but as someone that still goofs around with a soldering iron, I was gratified to see him doing this level of repair. :)
I'd bet money on the Russian Apple IIe still being in use!

I think we will. Whether a "S" version a whole new number upgrade. Either way I can't wait to see what they bring to the table.

Thank you for your reply, I disabled 3G and my signal strength was steady at 1 bar. I have my iphone 4 (with 5 bars) sitting right next to my 3gs. It seems taht I might just replace the antenna ribbon and see how that works.

WTF? It's free to access using Safari but costs 50.00 to use their app (which seems to be a glorified access to the same site with some .css/html mods to make it more accessible for iPhone)?

I cannot get my contacts into Itunes/Ipod. I exported them via palm tx as a vcard to the outlook folder that was empty. Then when I go to outllook 2010 I look under the address and there is nothing there. So I need step by step baby instructions (LOL) on how to get them into outlook then into Itunes and then into my Ipod touch. I hope someone can help me! Thanks Jerry
It sounds like either the vcard is dodgy, or outlook is.
Try opening the vcard in to Windows Address Book, once they're 'imported', you can go to iTunes > your ipod> Info (the tab at the top, might be called something else, you'll find it) > then check sync 'all contacts' > sync.

iGary, listen to me you whinning, kid-less money bag.
I spend $100/month for 1 kids piano lessons.
$95/mo for 2 kids gymnastics
$60/mo for another kids dance classes
we just wrote over $100 in various checks to the elementary school for kids stuff.
You have none of that, no clothes for 3 kids, no meals for 3 kids, no birthday presents for 3 kids' friends.
Get the blessed thing NOW! Screw the 30in, it will be there only cheaper next month.
After you get it, you have to put some of my fav songs on it though.

Yes, you'll be able to sync all the same music, movies, apps, contacts/notes/calendar (from outlook).
Also, not trying to be patronising or anything, but 'download' means to acquire data from 'the internet'. What iTunes is doing is just transferring data between two local devices. ;)

SBSettings. I certainly use it the most. Just a nice little menu for turning on/off BT/WiFi/3G/etc. Also lets you easily close apps running the background.

Hi,
I am CONSIDERING getting a programmer to help me develop an app for my church. Basically it will be an app to provide the person with information (upcoming events, news, upcoming service, read your bible in a year versus, etc).
I have no idea how to program. I know basic C++ and html/css. Therefore, I need major help. I feel like once the layout is done and once taught how to add information, I would be able to keep it updated.
How do I go about finding a programmer? Is it going to cost me $1,000's of dollars?
Any information is greatly appreciated.
