^ Is a great answer on the development of the Secure Enclave and why it's technically sound (said it wouldn't be long before this turned up). [Click close and read first answer - fecking pop ups!]

I saw that on DF; interesting

Yeah he certainly has his moments. He's either dead on or way off for me it seems. Usually the former.
I am totally bored by all the recent Nintendo fixation. I couldn't care much less about the topic.

I fitted a Samsung 256GB SSD into my mid-2012 MBP last night using an OptiBay enclosure. It was a bit scary as there was a tiny screw that just would not budge so I ended up having to really twist the Bluetooth element out of the way to be able to slide the enclosure in to place.
I got away with it though and am now in the process of adding all my programs on to it following a fresh install of Mountain Lion. The obvious performance improvements (boot and load times etc) are already noticeable but i'm really looking forward to having all my sample banks, synth patches and plug-ins on there.
Anyone have any tips/advice for setting it up?

Congrats, can't go wrong with Samsung SSDs.
You will love how snappy and responsive your Macbook will get.I enabled trimming by using this tool: http://groths.org/trimenabler/TrimEnabler.dmg
It avoids that your SSD is getting slower over time. -
Thanks, i'll bung it on there this evening. The disc included in the box only had Windows utilities software so something like this could be ideal.

I hate–HATE–iOS 7. All these animations are making me seasick. The color palletes are oversaturated. My phone is running very hot now. And some of the arbitrary changes like removing the familiar way of accessing Spotlight in favor of a weird gesture are adding up to a disaster of an update IMO.
The Sherlock search algorithm went from bad to worse too.. Shit! I'm guessing, since I've had it installed all of 10 mintes, that this is the tip of a shitty iceberg.

Just came here to post about ios7…. Only thing I can say I like is the home screen and the writing seems sharper. Everything else is ugly. Can anybody really tell me these two pictures are not eyesores?
-
Really? Messages just look way to cartoony for me. Really bright and large….
Also imo the grey surrounding the album cover just looks kind of jarring. Doesn't seem to blend that well...

I hate the signal strength bar but mine reads in dB so I don't have to see it. I suppose I'll just have to cope. I thought Jony Ive had a more spartan aesthetic than this. Oh well.

I've been using it for almost 3 months now. It was only weird the first few days. Which I would assume was because I was accustomed to the same bubbly design for 6 six years. Looking back at the old design makes me realize how outdated it was. I like how flat it is now.
-
I like the flatness. I don't like the neon gradients, the layouts, or the animations. Ymmv….

An overhaul was about two years past due. I also like the flatness, and the notification center is worth the update, all by itself. I really can't believe it took this long. I agree the colors are a little jarring, though.

I kind of dig them. They seem playful.
-
I pretty much like everything but the colors. Also, it seems to be sucking my battery done very quickly but I've always had crappy battery life…
-
Loving the new iOS 7. Of course there's plenty of people here who dislike the update and couldn't wait to crap all over it
That's unfair…. A little insulting too.
I haven't found anything I dislike since my initial gripes so I'm relieved my "iceberg" statement has proven so far to be false.
