  • Way too much advertising. I understand the purpose of ads on a webpage. I even enjoy the ads that AI displays because they're usually stuff I care about—but it feels like fully half of the space I'm looking at is trying to get me to buy something.…
    in AppleInsider's New Look (This thread was about the first Huddler redesign) Comment by toadie September 2012
  • This is terrible. The mail room in my building wasn't open until noon, and the delivery attempt was made at 10:40 AM. I have to wait until MONDAY??????????? FML. again... FML. To make it worse... I have one reserved at the Apple Store Upper West …

    in The iPad Has Shipped! Comment by toadie April 2010
  • I ordered within the first 5 minutes that the iPad was available. A few days ago, Apple put a hold on some cash from my debit account, but the hold went away. A day later, the iPad shipped. The money is still in my account (according to my online ba…

  • I have the same problem
    in FCP / Compressor issue Comment by toadie July 2007
  • Aperture runs on the Macbook. It is not a pleasant experience, but it runs. While I was "in between" my Powermac and my new Mac Pro, I used it a few times to access my library. Everything worked fine, but was slow as death. it does come up with …

    in MacPro RAM, Aperture Comment by toadie September 2006
  • I've had a Mac Pro since the first week they came out. I upgraded to 2 GB as soon as I could. I use Aperture and Photoshop extensively? I scan large format film negatives (black and white, around 300 MB each), and they bring CS2 in Rosetta to its…
    in Mac Pro users - 1GB enough? Comment by toadie September 2006
  • Let me clarify on the 2 GB thing... Aperture runs GREAT on this machine. I'd just like to feed it as much RAM as I can afford, which in a few weeks will be more than 2 GB. My G5 had 3 GB of RAM, and I almost never saturated that. With Rosetta Ph…
    in Aperture on a Mac Pro Comment by toadie August 2006
  • I got the standard config mac pro, and added some 3rd party RAM to make 2GB. Aperture is acceptable with my 50,000 picture library. I plan on getting the X1900XT as soon as I have the 500 beans to spare. 2 GB is also not enough? Aperture eats it…
    in Aperture on a Mac Pro Comment by toadie August 2006
  • I was the proud owner of a black macbook that whined and mooed. I just sent it in and they're replacing the logic board. I LOVE this computer. Am sorry to have it gone for a few days... Guess that's what I get for being an early adopter (first…

    in Aperture feedback Comment by toadie December 2005
  • I LOVE Aperture. I am not a professional, but I have to manage about 40,000 pictures for the school I work at, and this has allowed me to put them all in one library happily, and to not have to worry about versions anymore. I have read the big r…
    in Aperture feedback Comment by toadie December 2005
  • I just made the exact same switch- 1GHz ibook to 1.5GHz powerbook 12 inch. I'll never buy an ibook again... This is so much better. I've owned three powerbooks and two ibooks, and the plastic just never feels as good and sturdy as the metal. The…
    in powerbook question Comment by toadie November 2005
  • I recently added some songs to my library, and all of a sudden my library went from 20,000 songs to 5000. I dragged them back in and everything seems to be fine now, but my playlists are all messed up... I've had multiple crashes of iTunes as we…

  • I placed my order on the 15th. I chose standard shipping, and the e-mail that Apple sent me says Fedex 2 day. The tracking number is not in the system yet.

    in First copies of Mac OS X Tiger ship Comment by toadie April 2005
  • A copy of the leaked OS accidently fell on my desk. No worries, I am a paying customer- I just got it a little early. That said... I really like 10.4. Spotlight is by far the thing I like best, but dashboard is pretty cool too. I did clean in…

  • I just checked my order status, and it now says delivery on or before 4/28. Interesting....
