Can’t Software Update resume downloads?
This is ridiculous, I can’t update Mac OS on my computer because somebody in Cupertino thought that updates are not a big deal, just about terabyte anyway, nobody gonna have problem downloading this. So we can skip this headache with resuming downloads it’s 21st century so everybody got some fiber optics or something, right?
Just wasted like 2 hours on this already and still can’t get all of the updates. It just works, Apple, great delivery.
And Dear Apple, while you’re at it fix the downloader itself too. Downloading Combo Update from Safari seems to give a full speed, unlike the Software Update which stalls and stops every time.

Apple ditched the company that helped to make iPad.
Really smart move, just when I was hoping that stylus might appear in iPad thus making it the ultimate artist/designer tool. And the guy on the video is showing exactly that… The device was meant to showcase SurfaceInk’s design capabilities to potential clients, Apple viewed those capabilities as a potential competitive threat.
So no stylus or anything, cool. Let’s see what they gonna show up at the press event in september.

”Do you love or hate Safari 5’s ‘smarter’ address bar?
So here’s the thing. In Firefox, you can type y-a-h-o-o, hit Return and the browser is smart enough to presume you meant yahoo.com, adding the .com and whisking you away to the search portal’s main page. Safari 5, however, will not give you the top-level domain unless you frequent the site regularly or bookmark it — even then it won’t necessarily pop up top.
Too bad they forgot to mention really important things like that you can’t even edit or copy the link Safari found, that it doesn’t search in history unless you explicitly choose ‘Search in History’ below…
But anyway I’m glad that somebody else is trying to point Apple at obvious things, maybe together we can change situation a bit. I mean with all their money why not put up some Apple Captain Obvious R&D Division which gonna read what people write about issues in their products and just fix the problems on everyday basis.

iPad carrying case with keyboard
I was just thinking today that everybody is carrying iPads around in some sort of folding case anyway. So it would be logical to add a keyboard to the case. And voila, one hour later I see this materialized.
Actually typing right now on a wireless keyboard attached to iPad I feel like I could use something like this. Especially if they will improve keyboard support in iOS.

Insects inside an iMac?
Bugs in the system.
Due to, I guess the current warmer weather, my 24in iMac is currently housing no less than four midges, as in insects.
They are actually inside the case, crawling around on my screen. Shouldn’t my casing be more ‘secure’?
I’ve heard of bugs in the system, but this is ridiculous!
Found this one in the latest issue of MacWorld.

Would you call this joke of a page a Purchase History?
I wouldn’t. Basically it’s impossible to tell if you purchased something or not. And the whole thing is just useless. The only way to tell for sure is to purchase the item in question again. And then it’s just gamble, brilliant!
Wow, this time I win!
Dear Apple, instead of [INSTALLED] badges which are just obstructing the view, add an [ALREADY PURCHASED] mark to App Store.

Exposé on iPhone with Multiflow.
What actually amazing is the amount of control you get.
Once installed, you’ll want to select an activation method. There are several options, like a double press or press-and-hold of the home button, singe or short press of the headset button or sleep button or shake.
Dear Apple, why did you just remove Favorites from iOS4?

Why there is no full-size preview in Image Capture?
I see you can make thumbnails just fine, is it that hard to allow us quicklook or just open image in Preview directly from Image Capture? Yes I can increase the thumbnail’s size, but usually this is not enough. Why I must import all shots first to see them?
Unfortunately there are many dusty dark corners in Mac OS X nobody been checking for years. Hope they will get an overhaul one day.
