@scottaw Here's a different approach. IMHO safer than delving directly in Photostream's undershorts. lifehacker.com/5883336/copy-p… 4:29 AM May 30th via Twitter for Mac in reply to scottaw
Important safety tip, kids - don't approach dangerous snakes. FFS... j.mp/L2cn9d VIDEO: Snake warning for UK walkers 4:27 AM May 30th via Reeder
@scottaw Agree that Photostream (and the other iCloud services) definitely need more access points, though. 4:24 AM May 30th via Twitter for Mac in reply to scottaw
@scottaw Lion has Auto Termination if it really needs resources. Suggests Apple is rethinking what "Mac-like" is. 4:23 AM May 30th via Twitter for Mac in reply to scottaw
@scottaw That's a user bug then ;-) 4:18 AM May 30th via Twitter for Mac in reply to scottaw
@scottaw How much memory do you have? Given my first Mac had 256Mb and my current one has 8Gb, should not be an issue in a rational world 2:14 PM May 29th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to scottaw
@scottaw Bet it’d be quicker to leave iPhoto running. With modern Macs and Lion memory management no need to leave it closed. 1:35 PM May 29th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to scottaw
Surely the problem with Chromebooks is the OS concept, not the hardware performance? j.mp/LEM8R7 Google refreshes Chrome computers 1:24 PM May 29th via Reeder
I wish Blizzard would patch away the single-player online DRM - might buy a copy then j.mp/KTvEE8 9:38 AM May 29th via Reeder
Pasty tax revoked. Surely the double dip recession is now over? BTW, pretty sure no one even noticed the caravan tax… 11:38 PM May 28th via Tweetbot for iOS
@Aiannucci About time too. Gits. 11:33 PM May 28th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to Aiannucci
@scottaw @Gazmaz Got to be honest, I wasn’t aware that iPhoto was slow or awkward with Photostream. Must investigate. 11:31 PM May 28th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to scottaw
@scottaw @Gazmaz Does perhaps illustrate a need for Apple to provide direct access to Photostream, though. 2:47 PM May 28th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to scottaw
@scottaw @Gazmaz See what you mean - but delving in to the Library folder seems very un-Mac like IMHO. 2:45 PM May 28th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to scottaw
FaceBook phone - no privacy implications there AT ALL #facepalm or should that be #facebookpalm 7:39 AM May 28th via Twitter for Mac
@Gazmaz Dunno if it'd be quicker, but bet it breaks with an OS update in future. Don't understand the reluctance to leave apps open though 7:38 AM May 28th via Twitter for Mac in reply to Gazmaz
@CraigGrannell @ajhmurray Also, very odd that the media edits out swearing on the same day they show dead children in the papers… 7:27 AM May 28th via Twitter for Mac in reply to CraigGrannell
@CraigGrannell @ajhmurray Yes, but then 1) they are possibly lazy and 2) they are assume we are short attention span morons 7:25 AM May 28th via Twitter for Mac in reply to CraigGrannell
@CraigGrannell @ajhmurray I doubt its malicious - more likely a weak-spined effort at bowdlerisation because of the naughty words. 7:23 AM May 28th via Twitter for Mac in reply to ajhmurray
@Harryneeds @ryanairnews @BeckAdlington Couldn't Ryanair tell you? 7:21 AM May 28th via Twitter for Mac in reply to BeckAdlington
