  1. Odd Apple Support article title: "How to Perform a Safe Boot if FileVault 2 is enabled" Answer: Turn off FileVault 2 - j.mp/JJEQLe
  2. @PiratXMac The actual number of items has more of a bearing on performance than raw size. My 5TB is mostly video, so I only have ~50K tracks
  3. @PiratXMacStartup up after a crash or system freeze can take a half-hour or more, however, as iTunes needs to check the database.
  4. @PiratXMac Surprisingly not long… a few seconds, about the same as any other app.
  5. My iTunes library just hit 5TB! jd1.ca/GqKl Hard to believe that I once wondered how I would ever manage to fill a 10MB hard drive
  6. Making fun of someone for not knowing a common thing is much more boring than telling them about it for the first time j.mp/JXSnmr
  7. Victoria discovers dandelions instagr.am/p/KjJt4Dk8Nu/
  8. @Leorhall Yeah, it's amazing Google *still* hasn't done that, esp with the 2.0 iPhone refresh. Following in Facebook's steps, it seems.
  9. @Leorhall Sadly, nothing built-in for that. You need a third party app such as Web Albums.
  10. So it turns out the font used for station names on the Toronto subway system is actually called "Toronto Subway" :)
  11. @rjstewart Yup. I've wondered for years why Apple doesn't use some type of QR code system, esp now that all current iOS devices have cameras
  12. I'm at The Academy Of Spherical Arts (Toronto, ON) 4sq.com/IXA0Qs
  13. "Supermoon" expected tonight; moon at its closest point and full at the same time j.mp/Ku1qdx
  14. "Hey Google — your G+ desperation is showing" (via @Pocket / @mathewi ) gigaom.com/2012/05/02/hey…
  15. @rlangdon Used to be a nice little bar on the west side of the building where the Kitchen Table store is. Don't know if it's still there.
