9 to 5 Mac | Apple Intelligence : Apple resellers update iPad signage to acknowledge possibly misleading 4G branding, customers emaile

Thu, 5 Apr 2012 03:38:18 +0000

I knew all along that this thing was not going to work on the Aussie LTE networks. Why? Because it was written on the Apple site. Not very hard I dont think. This is just typical behaviour of people who balls things up and want to blame someone else for their stupidity.

9 to 5 Mac | Apple Intelligence : Facebook goes Retina on iPad, other improvements

Mon, 2 Apr 2012 22:53:37 +0000

So does it no longer suck like the previous versions then? Do I still need to hop to the Safari web version for things that dont work so well (or are otherwise non existent) in the app?

Clearly it is a fake and not a real Apple product release then.

I might be from Australia, but I dont want to have to have sex with a kangaroo just so my kids could carry that monstrosity in their pouches!

If it can have App Store apps (especially Plex!) then I am sold 150%!

9 to 5 Mac | Apple Intelligence : Reports claim the new iPad will actually be called the 'iPad HD'

Tue, 6 Mar 2012 03:45:02 +0000

Nup. Here is the only product Apple have released with the letters "HD" in its name: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP192 The prosecution rests Your Honour...

9 to 5 Mac | Apple Intelligence : iPad 3 round-up: Retina Simulator out, Retina iPads running iOS 6.0 in server logs, 20MB download li

Sat, 3 Mar 2012 03:42:33 +0000

Not a fan of the App Store deciding how much I'm allowed to download using my 3G connection. It's my bits! My business. Even if they up to 40MB, I don't care. If I go over my limit or get throttled or get charged extra it's MY problem. No one else's. Most they should have is a warning saying "App is xxMB" and prompting me if I wish to proceed or not.

A boxed multi on all the "sure things" looks pretty good here...

People are still going to buy the new IPad3 regardless of what CPU the thing has.

I thought the article said " the renderings are interesting and appalling" then I reread it...

9 to 5 Mac | Apple Intelligence : Use Apple TV to make your HDTV a wireless second monitor

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:29:24 +0000

Give me Plex streaming to Apple TV* @ 1080p and I'm sold. *yes I realise a JB Apple TV can do this now (@720p) with a lot of friggin around, but I am asking for a simple way.

9 to 5 Mac | Apple Intelligence : Leaked iPad 3 parts match, suggest Sharp-made Retina Display

Mon, 13 Feb 2012 21:46:56 +0000

Nearly there, a few more parts, including the screen (especially the fscking screen!) and we will actually be able to see this thing!

9 to 5 Mac | Apple Intelligence : iPad 3 incoming, WiFi + 3G iPad 2 models facing supply constraints and shortages at major retailers

Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:10:57 +0000

Disagree I'm sorry. Many people (myself included) will buy an iPad 3 just because it is there, LTE, WiMAX, homing pigeon or otherwise. Remember the first iPhone? That was only 2G when 3G was well and truly established globally. LTE and friends are not, so it makes more sense to _not_ have LTE as far as Apple is concerned than what it does to _have_ LTE.

9 to 5 Mac | Apple Intelligence : Rumor: Siri should speak Russian, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese next month

I am still waiting for Siri to be useful in "Australian English"

9 to 5 Mac | Apple Intelligence : Passware: Filevault can be brute force cracked during the span of a lunchbreak

Thu, 2 Feb 2012 02:53:13 +0000

So the password is pulled out from RAM? Therefore the Mac needs to be switched on, and logged in. The password/key will NOT be in RAM when it is turned off. Therefore when the cops are kicking your door in, simply turn off your Mac, the key is removed from RAM and when they cart if off to do their tests all your arms dealing and drug trafficking info will remain safe(ish). Just dont re enter the password when they are standing there :) Notice I said "safe(ish)" - nothing is infallible.

Makes sense. Does anyone even keep a box after they remove its contents anyway?

"The $29,999.99 (manufacturer’s suggested retail price) " Seems indicative of sale potential to me.
