Moi aussi.

Yes, of course. Thanks for snapping me out of it.

When OS X came out, there was so much clamor about spring-loaded folders that Apple felt compelled to bring them back. Well, I never cared for spring-loaded folders and never used them, but I have dearly missed Labels. I made a couple of posts here and elsewhere about them, but nobody seemed...

Opening a browser is not particularly a big deal on a Mac either. The benefit of apps like Watson or Sideshow is that just the info you want is presented to you in an unobtrusive and concise form. You don't have to browse through a web site, and you don't have to put up with annoying Flash ads...

The real irony is that Emailer 2.0 and the mail function of Cyberdog were such great apps. How can Apple just throw away two great products and then just dump this make-do mailer on us?

I'm afraid I don't know what to say about your connection problems. (But I'm sure someone will.) But I can assure you that there have been no updates made available to ordinary plebes like me and (presumably, or you'd know) you. Paying members of the Apple Developer Connection (or whatever it's...
