Apple would like me to update iPhoto (thankfully, not requiring a reboot, which updating their web browser does… because they want to be more like Microsoft, I guess). Here’s what I’ll get for it:
This update adds several new print product options to iPhoto ’09:
Hardcover books can now be ordered in a new extra-large (13ʺx10ʺ) size

So, I’d been wondering about this for a while, but I think I’d like it better if it were correct: I’ve an iPhone 3G and the 3.0 OS update certainly installed the voice recording application, and it does work just fine. Scratch that, I can’t read. No, my 3G does not now do video recording. [...]
Please step around the corner—so that I don’t have to watch—and get fucked raw. Repeatedly. I’d had the impression that EMacs was a bloated piece of software until I encountered your mess. Several months ago, I managed to get you to actually spew forth legible HTML… but not actually display images, and I gave up [...]
iTunes 8.2 has introduced a new feature: if you have a keypad lock on your phone (or iPod touch? I guess they can do that?) then you must authenticate to the device before iTunes will sync with it. I went through three emotions about this, roughly aligned to Id, Ego, and Superego (in that order):

Thanks!
So, I get the “Genius” thing. Mimicking pandora.com is the hotshit thing to do, but it’s not the Right thing to do. I’ve given you my ratings: give me a “random” weighted towards those ratings. This is mathematically simple, especially since you only give me a one to five scale. (How to deal with zero-star [...]
I’ve let this one kick around in the back of my mind for a while, because I’m about to accuse someone, in public, of being grossly unprofessional which could, itself, be considered unprofessional. I confess that my first impulse was to simply post the whole email thread, edited only mildly to conceal identities, but that’s [...]
… we’d be driving cars with 17 wheels, 8 transmissions, and 3 engines. This is especially true in the GNU crowd.
For reasons that will become apparent in a post I’ll make in a few days, I was simply trying to build ffmpeg out of the FreeBSD ports collection. Building individual ports immediately after updating one’s [...]
