MACBOOKAIR: Watch out for “cascading” update?

Friday, March 11, 2011

Applied an Mac update. It triggered an IPAD update. It triggered a reprocessing of all photos.

About 3 hours later, it’s bout 75% done.

I’ll be more careful about updates on the MACBOOKAIR.

I thought that MICROSOFT had the monopoly on bad updates.

Argh!

MACBOOKAIR: Could Apple have a wifi software problem?

Friday, March 4, 2011

I don’t know. I don’t have the hardware, software, or expertise to debug the situation. But, when my MIFI and my WIFI, both have sucky performance. And, programs, that access the network, seem slow. And, I ‘always’ see “searching for networks”. Could it be that they have a significant problem with wifi at the operating system level?

Sigh!

How to figure that our?

HARDWARE: Thermostat absurdity

OK, here’s a hospital room thermostat. It’s cold in the room. How do I make it warmer? Or, colder.

Those three buttons must DO something, I feel like I’ve been dropped into a future civilization. Or stuff changes, and I didn’t get the memo.

How about a big + and – sign?

Argh!

AddressBookSync is taking 98% of the CPU?

I have “sync” set to manual. What’s up with that?

I’ve gotten annoyed with the continual temporary disk space exhaustion issue.

I left windoze because of all the issues. And, on MACOSX, I seem to be having as many.
