I’ve only used it for about half an hour so far but Mail (which was my biggest gripe) seems a bit better. Let’s see if it stays this wayQuote:

Yeah I've played with one a bit, I can't deal with that weird single mouse button click.Quote:

Issue with Magic Mouse is your control scrolling isn’t really there which can be frustrating.
I would skip the touchpad, that’s really not that good.

I just mean the scroll can go crazy sometimes in very unexpected ways compared to a notched scroll week on a mouse.
I used a Magic Mouse for years, I moved to a razer when I was doing more finicky CAD work in school to stop things from blowing up when multitouch glitched out.
I rather use that 60K to put towards buying a banana taped to a wall.Quote:

Never figured out what a SGI workstation was actually used for. For video coding back in those days, I just did the overnight Windows with open source VirtualDub, I mean sure - you had to leave it on overnight (and usually three passes for a MP4 code). You could plug in some crazy filters that didn't really exist in some of the retail platforms, including a deinterlacer that actually made old VHS tapes look of passable quality.
I did a lot of MP4 videos with OGG audio, resulting in .OGM's, which never really took off. You could still rename the OGM to MP4, and with most players it would at very least decode the video and 80% of the time, the audio as well.
With my Asian "Yanni" ears, still capable of hearing 14,400hz - OGG to this day still sounds better than MP3.
NO. It feels right fucky.Quote:

If somebody tells you to buy one, they secretly hate you.Quote:

Magic Mouse is horrible, thought I'd get used to it but I have phantom scrolls on everything. Spreadsheets constantly scrolling sideways when I'm trying to go up/down and Google Maps zooming in and out unexpectedly.Quote:

This is exactly the problem, I constantly zoom in and out unintentionally because it thinks I'm scrolling.Quote:

I can imagine this is what all VR headsets will eventually do, a simple dumb 3D device (maybe 5 watt) with input, hooked up to a quantum computer to do all the calculations.
In that case, Amazon Web Services make take the lead - if they have backend servers that are 1 Petaflops or so.
Just read Apple is going to do a 5.4” phone OLED for sept.
It’ll be slightly smaller than the X I currently have which is what I want.
The only problem is it won’t be the flagship. Flagship will be a 6.1” and 6.7” design.
That’s okay though, 5.4” hopefully it’s a mm or two thinner too.
Found two new Pro Tips that I really like.
1. Settings>Itunes & App Stores>In-App Ratigns & Reviews (disable this). This should stop most of those annoying rating requests
2. In Safari, long press the switch tab button, and it will give you an option to close all tabs
