All Things Mac/ Apple
-
So funny how individual our experiences are. Apple has been a complete train wreck for me and many of my friends since 7.0, and I've had a pretty good experience (with some compromises, but everything generally works) on a top of the line Windows phone.

Tomorrow's the day of the next event. Hoping for some good news on hardware and software.
Interestingly enough I converted another guy to Mac this week. Unintentionally. When I started @ my workplace I was literally the first mac in the entire company. Just over 18 months in and there's at least 5-10% of the company rocking macs, seemingly gaining at least 1-2 users a month who are buying and using their own hardware. I love it.

The ghost of Steve Jobs is proud of you.

Ghost? Wasn't he reincarnated as a future Foxconn employee?

Apple should at least take you out to dinner and a movie before selling you a mini. 4GB or RAM, now soldered on. $100 extra to get a usable amount of RAM (8GB). They went digging around an antique store and found some 5400 RPM spinning disks. You have to pay $250 to upgrade that nonsense to a Fusion Drive. So now you're at $850 for an entry-level desktop running a processor from 2009. That's simply not acceptable.
-
Mine's been great too, but sticking your customers with decade-old (being literal here) storage technology when you're supposed to be a premium marque is a slap in the face.
-
Or hey, if you feel the need to use spinning disks, make them somewhat modern. 5400 RPM on a system with only 4GB of RAM is not the Apple experience. It's a pig.

Just upgraded my Macbook Antique to Yosemite. It all seems to have gone smoothly, and was a free download. But I've only just restarted my machine, so I don't know if there are any problems lurking.
The UI and icons now reflect the flat look that iOS has adopted. I'm not sure what other changes have taken place.
-
I'm a bit scared to upgrade, I'll let the early adopters sort it out first.
I also probably don't have enough storage.

I love my Mac Mini from Spring last year. No problems at all, although I might wait a week or so to upgrade to the new OS. The iPhone 6 Plus arrives on Thursday and I'm looking forward to seeing how useful a big phone is after three years with the 4S.

Good to know!

MBPr has arrived. My god that screen, just stunning. Running Yosemite. Love the hand-off features and 'green texting' from a laptop!
Did a clean build (instead of migration), was a matter of 'git clone', and rsync between old home directory and new.
Battery is AMAZING on this thing. Running 10 hours doing upgrades/package installs, reboots, full time machine backup, and the fan's yet to kick in. I'm going to have a lot of fun with this for the next few years.
Yosemite's colours take a bit of getting used to, I've turned a lot of it down, and re-enabled a few of the accessibility features (like 1 finger tap/drag lock). All in all, A+.
