I thought I would use the watch to navigate in the car, but I've found my TomTom Go 500 to be more convenient in the car. The watch is great for pedestrian navigation, though, once the car is parked – if you're in a new city or something.

Although the Ars Technica Review is still expansive, it's still a hard blow to the OS X user of old (starting with Rhapsody DR 2 and then again with OS X Public Beta, as my oldest posts on here show) that the reviews are no longer written by John Siracusa. Of course Mac OS X has long found its...

I think the finding of businesses is still a bit lacking in Apple's maps app. But they've started an initiative where businesses can work this out themselves. Problem is: Most of them probably don't know about it. Last Autumn, news sites were talking about it. For example here...

I, too, need a couple of lines, but not that many. (The 11" MacBook Air's 16:9 screen didn't give me enough, the 12" MB's 16:10 is perfect.) My writing process is more automatic. I continue and continue. I then remove stuff and correct, of course. My stories are short. 2-3 A4 pages are the norm...

Not reeeeeeally, I guess. But at least I've written something again. Hi, group! I'll have pint of whatever's on tap, please.

When Apple released the new MacBook, it ticked off a lot of checkboxes for me. Small. Retina screen. Light. And it comes in a dark colour scheme. (Only spaceblack would be better than spacegray.) And the new keyboard, of course. If you know me from the olden days, you know I'm a sucker for a...

I switched back, because there's just too much "wrong" with Android for me, personally. I miss so many things from my iPhones when I try to move to an Android phone. That is past news again, though, because I've moved on to the iPhone 6 when it came out. As anticipated, it's perfect for me. The...

I didn't know the "well known" Puush service. ;) … So it was Onyx that corrected the problem? Or did you find the culprit folder before actually running Onyx?

I have to say, things do have changed in the past 10 years. I remember the days when I really, really HAD to flash a Voodoo 2 or Voodoo 3 PC graphics card with the firmware for Mac, so I could use it in my PowerMacintosh 9500, but in the past couple of years, even the lowliest MacBook Air...

Didn't quite know where to post this after all this time... I'm quite sure if you read this thread you know that The Apple Extended Keyboard II is the best computer keyboard ever made and that it's a pity we're using chiclets on desktop computers today. For the past year or so, because I didn't...

Also, if you move your mouse to the top right edge of your screen, you should see that blue "back to non-fullscreen" widget. Afterwards, it should be as you knew it, more or less. (In Yosemite, it'll be different, though.)

It's mostly about chocolate eggs and chocolate bunnies, I'd say, around my family. It's basically another chance in the year to see the greater family and a really good dinner. Plus: It's mostly nice weather around here at Easter. As an atheist, I don't care much what's celebrated. I guess it's...

Guessing what Apple might do with its "Displays" is always a game of dice, it seems. In the past couple of years, they usually kept _one_ display in the market, unless you count the Thunderbolt and Cinema 27" Display that were kept together on the market, because the old Mac Pro couldn't do...

If the past few new iPhones are any indication, the new iPhone is about 5-6 months away now. As Gia said: Depends on your current phone. Will it make you go crazy for an iPhone 5S or 5C in the next few months? If not, I'd wait. Once the new iPhones are out, if you still think the 5S or 5C is the...

I've long since put the HTC One away again, moved back to the iPhone 5 and later on to the iPhone 5S. My thoughts on the screen size have stayed, though. 4.7" would be much better for me. The newest rumours all suggest, that my wish might be granted in Autumn... :)

Oh, Doctor X, it's not the communists claiming that Pluto ain't a planet, it's common sense! Look at how it behaves (very badly, very un-planetary) and how other ice rocks behave. It's that: An ice-rock. But to the point: My Mavericks experience has been flawless. Mail.app behaves perfectly on...

If you use Windows 7, then you're probably on the wrong forum. This is about Macs, Mac OS X etc.

Wow, it's been a long time, since I've been here on macosx.com. :) But I had some thoughts and questions that I wanted to share - and hear some answers to, so I thought: Well, here's the space for it... I've been a Mac user since forever (1987, to be exact) and an iPhone user as well. I had...

Hm. Definitely a strange answer. :/ ... Any Apple Stores nearby? They should be able to install 10.6 for you (make a Time Machine backup before you go) and then let you update to 10.6.6 and then buy 10.8 through the App Store. If they're willing, that is. Deploying a 10.6 image takes a couple of...

You'll have to go through AppleCare. There's no official way to get 10.6.x anymore for your computer, which means no way you can get to 10.7 or 10.8, both of which are only available as Mac App Store downloads (requiring at least 10.6.6). You _might_ find Snow Leopard Retail DVDs on eBay or...
