Yep! Preshit's got a crazy avvy! But you can expect the crazyness considering what he is going through…

It feels so good to be back using the Mac. Like a cool breeze on a hot summer's day.

@narangz: Don't post those long and boring posts here man. Its almost sick constantly hearing about of people finding that Macs are awesome and the Mobile Mac OS is godlike. I mean, they are awesome, and that's the end of the story. Nothing much to say beyond that. (Now judging by my past experience, you might not get the sarcasm in this. Just so you know, I'm being sarcastic. We love hearing about this stuff! )

1. You haven't judged me correctly

2. When did I say Mobile Me is Godlike? I did NOT like it!

 

[goobimama]

I said Mobile Mac OS is godlike. I wanted to say iPhone OS, but then the iPod Touch comes in and says 'mee too!'

Oops. Sorry, my bad. Yeah I like the Mobile Mac OS, but still iPhone isn't for me though i like iPod Touch.

Also I am waiting for Microsoft Surface

I forgot to write that the guy said the iPhone 3G will be launched at september end.

Holy cow!!I am getting 240-250kBps on my 1M unlimited connection.This is insane!!Getting these speeds while DLing Fedora 9 BT.But when I DL well seeded torrents from hd-bits.ro and scenehd.org I get crappy speeds.Even from supertorrents.org.All are private trackers.

Apple has sent out an email to all .Mac users apologising for the "rocky" transition and given a free one month extension to the service for existing members. Yet another something that separates Apple from the herd—exemplary customer service! Seriously, when was the last time you saw a company give users a free extension because they failed to deliver a smooth upgrade?

This is an amazing company, really.

(I still wish they hadn't screwed it up so badly though. I mean, come on, it's Apple. Apple should have better control over their offerings.)

 

[goobimama]

What pisses me off is that the free account holders also got an extension making it 90 days of free Mobileme usage. But yeah, all in all 30 days extension is quite a lot. I remember reading some comments on TUAW, where they wanted 3 days added to their account for the downtime.

This question is for any guy who has come to bangalore: Where is the Apple Showroom in bangalore ? I heard its somewhere in the Forum Mall. Is it true ? I am thinking of going on a buying trip to Big Bazar, but since Forum is just next door, I thought I might check in there as well.

So anyone can confirm if it is there in forum ?

In case you get that Coffee Table, don't forget to invite us for an evening Coffee

 

[dinesh72]

Everytime I sync my touch in itunes, it backs up the data and then sync. It takes a while. Is there anyway to sync without backing up.

 

[narangz]

Sure, if I ever buy it

Its not that all free(trial) account holders get the 30-day extension. And you just can not signup for a trial MobileMe account like .Mac account as it requires you to submit your CC info, like I did and I am eligible for 30-day extension, good enough to test my spanking new iPod Touch

 

[goobimama]

^^ Well my friend who got a .mac account one day before the transition got a 30 day extension as well. Plus the 20GB storage.

 

[Ankur Gupta]

Yeah, but only for ones who signed up after 9th July, I also did and I have two trial accounts with 90 days usage

Apple is suing Psystar. Finally! They are going to crush them. The Psystar guys will be sorry they were ever born.

Hah hah! I take sick, grisly pleasure in seeing those who perpetrate the notion of running the pure and divine Mac OS X on crappy PCs that are no better than street urchins in front of Apple’s breathtaking and awe-inspiring Macs go down. Burn them at the stakes, Apple, and frame the ashes and hang them up in your headquarters.

You are sick!

LOL! Advocating Macs to everyone is paying off for me. When my MBP’s power cord screwed up, my friend, Shrenique, lent me his MacBook for a couple of days. Now that he’s gone back to Pune, my sister has lent me her MacBook for a week.

And before I know it, my iMac and MacBook Pro will be here (they’re replacing everything* I complained about, the ambient light sensor, power cord, the entire casing, SuperDrive and even the screen which was only slightly unevenly backlit—Apple kicks ass! I only wish I’d complained about the speakers getting distorted at high volumes too. ) and I’ll finally be able to throw my PC in the Mahananda river.

*Seriously, you’d think they’d just send the whole thing back to Apple and give me one of those shiny new Core 2 Duo, 802.11n thingies, but no such luck. Maybe I’m a bit too greedy!

Yes, imagine at Forum. There is also one on M.G.. but I hafn't been there.

App Store Apps - (Unofficial) Official App store review site.

For now with all the app reviews pouring in I guess its not required, but it might turn into something good later on.

@aayush: Rock on! Poor me I don't have any issues to give mine back to Apple. Maybe if I keep spitting through the air vents something might go wrong…

This is not about Mac OS and Windows OS, its about Mac and PC, which are both x68. No one here has a PowerPC based Mac, except may be Milind. So how do you think your comments make sense, when the MacBooks , MacBooks Pros are all x86 based like the PCs ???

Burn them at the stakes, Apple, and frame the ashes and hang them up in your headquarters.

Meet the internationally recognized Mac Psycho. Dude you are insane!!

BTW is your MBP still under warranty ?? Or did you give it for repair ??
