I'll also trim it down to be just the finder with no other apps.

I can try that tonight. Its a laptop so I can disconnect everything external. I'll update you with what happens but I predict it will be the same. Last night I had only a USB mouse attached (but I wasn't watching the console).

No DVD, vlc, etc. At work I have blue tooth trackpad and keyboard. At home I do not and I noticed it at home and remember that it was acting up at work at well. I just changed the setting to 3 minutes. When I changed it I got this on the console: 7/26/11 12:53:08 PM System Preferences[5127]...

I noticed this yesterday for the first time. My display dims when not in use after a short while. At the 10 minute mark, when it should go off, it goes off for maybe a second and then pops back on at full intensity. I haven't play with this much to see if it might be an application doing it...

Ahh.. my bad. He wrote "java script app" -- which I parsed as "Java script app" instead of "Javascript app". (Java, after all, is a scripting language even if it doesn't really want to admit to it.) My faith in the unJava world has been restored!

So its odd that clicking or unclicking something that says "Java" would have that big of an effect. On a different topic: I don't know if I'm going to like this cloud based stuff (at least not yet). My internet pipe is the size of a soda straw.

How about making a Lion sticky thread like you have for snow leopard?

Hmmm... I thought they were not going to install Java with Lion.

The oldest one that I know of is GNU Cash: http://www.gnucash.org/ I don't use it. I have an old laptop I'm going to keep at Snow Leopard. I hate Intuit with a passion. Once my current project slows down, I plan to write my own: a browser based solution. But... don't hold your breath. I've...

Weird. Seems like getting an https certificate would be harder than being an Apple Developer. With the certificate, I had to give them some documents -- can't remember what. And they called me to verify I was who I said I was (not sure what the point to that was) and that was it. Keep us...

When I watched the key note speech introducing the iPad, what I saw was three stores... three places to suck out your money. Its sorta like the lottery which taxes the poor. The stores feed upon the weak that this culture has cultivated -- the ones in debt up to their ears, can't wait for...

I'm somewhat out of touch. I thought you guys here might know more. With the new (furture) iCloud, I'm worried that Apple will do the same thing that it did with the .mac accounts. They were free to start with. That got me hooked. Then they started charging. I can especially see this...

I've heard things that suggest I can control my iTunes from my iPhone or iPad. But can I control it from my remote Mac? Right now, I use screen sharing to go over to the remote make, start up iTunes, and control it remotely. It works but it just seems overweight. I also know that I can...

Is it possible to make it so that I have to do command+delete to delete a message instead of just the delete key? Very often (call me weird), I start typing. Perhaps thinking I'm in a different window. And I might hit the delete key semi-unconsciously. When I do that, some number of mail...

I have a very small internet feed so I'd like to pull down my podcasts at 2 in the morning or something like that. The GUI interface for iTunes (this is 10.1 running on Mac OS 10.6.6) doesn't let me specify the time. Is there a hidden attribute somewhere I can set? It appears as if the...

I just sent ultralast an email via their site form. I'll update what happens. Doctor-X... can you send me that vendor via private message? I'll probably go with one from Apple but if you have a good experience with it, it might be worth trying. Thank you all...

I bought an ultralast battery for my Macbook Pro. It is a circa 2007 model (Core 2 Dual) and I'm not pleased with it. I bought it less than six months ago and it already claims to have 97 cycles on it. I keep it plug in almost 100% of the time. But what is troublesome is that it does not...

I see... good. Windows made a pretty big mistake with its disk mounting "auto launch" thingy. I was worried Apple had made the same mistake.

I just downloaded Opera 11. When you open the dmg, it pops up a box to agree to the license. This is the first time I've seen this feature. Curiously, the mac did not warn me that I had just downloaded the dmg. It did warn me when I tried to run Opera that I had just downloaded it but didn't...

Should this be moved to the Mac OS X Server forum? Perhaps repost it. I think you will get better response to this particular question there.
