Meh. It had its moments, but it was not particularly well done.

Gonna give Flashlight a try today based on this.
Edit: Quick testing of the iMessages plugin have all failed. Hmmmm.

I knew how aperture worked (pinhole cameras), but I didn't think to make my own eyesight better by looking through a hole formed by my fingers!

I bought the game mostly to show support against idiots going back and re-rating it with 1 star.
Turns out it's a great game and worth multiples of the money I paid for it. Particularly if you have a Family Share plan set up.

Finder Windows Disappearing, Finder Windows Disappearing, How do I stop Finder-Tabs from closing after Shutdown/Restart
I've had this issue for years.
I have a Finder window with tabs showing. Sometimes it's just one tab ("Downloads"), sometimes it's two or three. Rarely is it ever more than one window.
I leave them minimized almost all the time.
When I reboot, they'll still be in the Dock. When I click them, they'll zoom out of the Dock, and then immediately vanish. They're still listed in the "Window" menu, but you cannot "get" to them at all.
In Terminal, killall Finder
brings them back after the Finder re-launches.
Why can't they just work the first time? I don't know. I've tried deleting the saved state, the finder.plist, and other things along the way. Nothing seems to work.

The Core wireless speaker system
Dave and I each have one of these things coming.
It supposedly sounds really good, so… Yeah. I really have almost no actual use for a speaker. Maybe I can use it as a PA system or something when I give a talk. A bluetooth microphone would be all that's needed, I think.

This Verbal Confrontation Shows Why Walmart Will Never Accept Apple Pay (Video)
As Tim Cook said, people like their credit cards. They're reasonably secure, they provide a record for billing, they offer rewards and points if used responsibly, they're easy to use, etc.
CurrentC or MCX is none of those things.

Twice over the past three months I've awoken to find that my computer had set opened too many files. One time it essentially corrupted my Mail (I had to "restore" old accounts from Time Machine because Mail had lost track of all the accounts - the emails themselves were still there, of course), and the other time only minor things happened, but who knows if I caught them all?
Some resources:
I believe I've bumped the open file limit successfully. It seems pretty low, particularly considering:
[12:33pm iacas@Bunny:~] % ofc Safari 3920
ofc?
alias ofc 'lsof | grep \!:1 | wc -l'
That's with six Safari tabs open currently, and Safari having gone about 12 hours since last being quit and re-launched.
Safari is, by far, the worst abuser of open files.
