  • Quote: Developers [will] have to wait like most everyone else for the official launch this Saturday. Actually, it's worse than that. It should read American developers will have to wait until Saturday to test on a real device. Those in Canada, E…

    in Apple again allows promo codes for mature-rated apps Comment by stephend July 2009
  • A small correction: Apple does not rate applications. Developers have to rate their own programs. Where it gets confusing is that Apple will then reject the application if they deem that the developer picked the wrong one. You might ask, then, wh…
    in Apple again allows promo codes for mature-rated apps Comment by stephend July 2009
  • Surely there is loads of prior art for the translucency part? All my Growl notifications are semi-transparent. And what about the tool palettes in Office 2004 that become translucent if you don't use them for a while? I do think it's useful but i…
    in Apple proposes translucency to solve "window overlap" problem Comment by stephend June 2008
  • Small pedantic point... I'm not sure that it's fair to categorise Carphone Warehouse as "O2s retail partner." That kind of implies an exclusive relationship. Carphone Warehouse is, as far as I know, independent and sells phone from all the major cel…

  • You can video/audio chat over Jabber as well, albeit only with other iChat users. HTH, --> Stephen

  • I don't have a Mac Pro, but here are the results for the machine I'm typing this on: /Users/stephend/Desktop $ perl ./OSXAutoThreadMHP.pl -i 10000000 Automatic Processor Detection found 1 processor cores. Playing 10000000 games across 1 cores…

  • iPhoto does sometimes get out of sync with itself. Try rebuilding your thumbnails. HTH, --> Stephen

  • Why would Apple announce a consumer product at a developer conference? ThinkSecret are also speculating that a new iPod nano will be in the keynote. I think it's more likely they'll either wait until Paris in September or have another press event…
    in Think Secret reports iTunes Movie Store debut at WWDC: Comment by stephend July 2006
  • I tried three vendors: Apple, MyPublisher and PhotoBox. They were all of acceptable quality but, on balance, I thought the Apple photobook was the best. A more thorough critique can be found on my website: http://www.stephendarlington.com/wor.…

  • Quote: Originally posted by SpamSandwich I'm curious about the quality of the greeting cards and the books that can be ordered through iPhoto. Has anyone tried it...? I've had mixed experiences. The books from iPhoto 5 are nice but, to my eye…
    in Briefly: MacBook, 60GB iPod resets, iPhoto Comment by stephend June 2006
  • The guy in the Regents Street Apple Store said the material was just different. He said that it was slightly heavier than the white one. He also pointed out that Apple have been making white machines for five years and that, if there were any manufa…

  • Just for the record (in case anyone searches for a similar problem) I finally found time to investigate this... basically there was a issue with a caption. The images, both JPG and RAW, were absolutely fine. The caption gave no visible sign that …

  • One advantage of 2004 over X is that Entourage works properly with Spotlight (with the recent update at least). I would say that 2004 is a bit nicer, but probably not worth the 100 dollar difference for you unless there's a particular new feature…

  • The simplest method would be something like .Mac. I'm not aware of any other automatic/GUI tools to do the job, but you could certainly cobble something together using rsync. HTH, --> Stephen
    in Sync between Mac and Windows Comment by stephend March 2006
  • Hi Michael, Thanks for your response. I'm starting to think that it's not the RAW images either but something to do with my iPhoto library itself. I quit iPhoto, renamed my library and started iPhoto again. I created a new library. Now in iTun…

  • Stack alignment is very processor specific, are you sure you need to do the same thing on a PowerPC? A quick skim of the docs suggests that there isn't a direct equivalent. On an Intel Mac you'd use the exact same flag as on Linux. --> Step…
