From the Electronic Frontier Foundation: How to Enable Advanced Data Protection on iOS, and why you should. I’d like to set this up among all of the devices we have here, but we run a lot of older gear that won’t be covered under this seup—and the idea that if I do enable this, we’ll lose some functionality on things like the Apple TV or this old laptop doesn’t thrill me.
How cool is it that the new version of iPhoto handles movies? I always wondered why it didn’t recognize them as viable media, and I was always worried I’d erase movies that it didn’t copy over. Nice. (It’s also about 300% faster on this machine.)
Widgets: Sweet.
Apple; THANK YOU for getting rid of those dropped off the network. And THANK YOU for fixing/modifying Windows logins to recognize my Keychain. Not having to enter a password every time I mount a shared drive: Priceless.
Built-in Superdrive (CD/DVD-writer combination): Sweet.
The screen on this machine is easily twice as bright as the screen on my Pismo. That could be from age, or damage, or the fact that the technology is just better. And the keyboard feel is wonderful.
I’m happy to bid adieu to the old hockey-puck power adapter.
