Nice!

Is it me, or did the Apple Education store discount the macbook air another $50? It used to be 1199, then 1099 with edu, now it lists for 1049

The one where you press the 'shut down' button and go make a cup of tea and it's still shutting down.

Tabbed Finder and full dual-monitor capabilities are godsends. Can't wait until the Fall :)

OK, so does the new Maps app finally allow your friggin' laptop to figure out where it is? I thought that the original iPhone used some WiFi data pinging to locate your phone as a part of "assisted" GPS. I want my damn laptop to know where it is *automatically* so that, for example, it can set it's own damn clock without my help.

I love Apple, but for pity's sake, this should be a no-brainer by now. It's called a laptop, even if it *is* too hot to sit on your lap, but it used to be called a portable, meaning you could take it with you somewhere *other* than your desk/office/house. Come on, now! Figure it out!


Fail on so many levels..

Hopefully this fixes the issues with Exchange accounts causing all kinds of mayhem in Mail.

They are really polishing Mavericks. I think ML had only 4 developer previews.


True. They can't be finished, the icons aren't hideous yet.
