iMovie 10.0 Sucks

There are far, far too many reasons to list here, but suffice to say I'm very glad Apple doesn't delete iMovie 9.0.9. Whoever built iMovie 10.0 and thought it was good deserves to be kicked in the SD card slot.

These two articles came in handy today: OS X: Reset Accessibility Access List OS X: GUI Scripting - Accessibility Access Controls After upgrading, I was having an issue wherein FastScripts was not functioning with my Mail scripts.

So I've got this unusual problem. Safari on my Mac Pro will not load twitter.com (or twitter.com/iacas, or any other twitter.com URL).

Screens 3.0?

Does anyone have any experience with Screens? I'd love to try it out, but at $19.99, it exposes one of the flaws with the App Store - there's no real way to demo the application.

Is Apple’s Maps Improving

The comments here are about 50/50. I've not had too many problems with Apple's maps, but just today in San Antonio it failed to properly identify the location of a Texas Land & Cattle. It was off by several miles. Outdated info? No - the place has been here for years.

The Minuum keyboard is a good example why some people - often including me - wish there was an "iOS Pro" or mode that let you play with different kinds of keyboards. I totally get why Apple will not go this route, though.
