Yeah, well, I truly wish I'd known about these upcoming freebies before I shelled out for Photoshop Touch. Dang!

As for whatever I "have running", it occurs even when Finder is the only app active (confirmed AFAIK by ONYX insofar as what's started at logon). Insofar as "why shutdown" I know that power drain occurs even with a short time away. However, I'll try…

All your suggestions *still* do not address the question I originally raised. They suggest *alternatives*! I was asking about the speed of shutdown, not requesting alternatives to shutdown. Okay?

FWIW when displaying the CD in Finder, what gets created is a (virtual?) folder with extension "fpbf". I have no notion as to the meaning of this extension.

This is happening with the same batch of CDs as we used before. I doubt a whole stack of CDs has gone corrupt. This is happening on two MBPs. I doubt both have concurrently broken their Superdrives. I tried (on both MBPs) using the Disk Utility to…

The problem persists for our iPads. My iPhone syncs wirelessly, fine. Our MBPs fail to detect our iPads. I've tried a hard reset, necessitating network reconnect. No help. On connect via cable, *usually* iTunes does the job, but for this. :no: Now i…

I use GIMP, not necessarily daily, but very frequently. I don't foresee a rewrite that'll run without X11. GIMP accomplishes some detail work not possible in, e.g., Pixelmator. And I'm not among the rich and famous who can afford to keep a copy of P…

How long does an SSD last versus an HDD? Do I recall correctly that it has a limited number of read/write passes before it begins to degrade? Yes, I can see that this might be irrelevant in a world where a buyer might want to replace the device q…

Surprise, surprise! It _needn't_ be purely for data "consumption". Already, there are *rudimentary* photo editors (e.g. Photogene and Photoforge), *rudimentary* word processors (e.g. Pages and the upcoming M$ stuff), and *rudimentary* code editors/F…

I saw an interesting point of view elsewhere - in arstechnica, I think it was - from someone who'd been in China. This person suggested that what _we_ call "slave labor" is actually considered a good thing by many who work in Chinese factories, as i…

This business of going to icloud.com/iwork and signing in and dragging a file over to the cloud window is...er...unsightly. (Maybe it's okay for the security-privacy minded.) What we had in mind was, automated syncing of our documents between our la…

As you may deduce from what I wrote, I made the mistake of setting up everything with iCloud = same appleid as AppStore/iTunes. I'm now backing off to different appleid for iCloud. However, it should be noted, when backing off, iCloud eats calendar …

Maybe Apple and Exxon should get together and buy out the U.S. government. iAmerica.

Gotter done. Formatted and ready for the buyer to run setup. Posted for sale at, I hope, a good price. Now all that remains is for me to have the patience to wait. And wait. (A problem that can't be addressed here.) Meanwhile, I'll mark this prob…
