Microsoft Surface Reportedly Wi-Fi-Only, Will Start at $599
Microsoft’s Surface tablet will launch as a Wi-Fi-only device, according to a report from Bloomberg. And though Microsoft has remained ambiguous about its tablet’s pricing, saying it will be “comparable” to tablets with similar specs, a report from The Next Web indicates the Windows RT model will start at $599, and the Windows 8 Pro model will start at $999.
At the Surface’s unveiling Monday, Microsoft execs pointed out that the tablet comes with 2×2 MIMO antennas, giving the device a very strong Wi-Fi connection. But there was no mention of 3G or 4G connection capabilities.
So I finally installed OS X Lion on my MacBook Pro.
For those who are using Lion and have
not
changed the up/down trackpad scrolling direction back to the way it was in pre-Lion days, how long did it take you to get used to the change?
For me, only a couple of days, but then I was already used to scrolling that way on my iPhone.
I was already used to scrolling that way on my iPhone.
Me too.
This will be a test of brain plasticity. I hope my old noggin can adapt in a few days too.
Yeah, just a few days. Now I am confused momentarily when I use other people's machines.
I upgraded to Lion just so I could use this:
Satellite Eyes
Satellite Eyes is a simple Mac app that automatically changes your desktop wallpaper to the satellite view of where you are, right now.
yeah, I had to change the scrolling. I couldn't take Lion's default.
I think this had mostly to do with the fact that I am still using Snow Leopard computers and having to go back and forth was too much.
It only took me a couple of days to adjust. The thing that throws me now is that a handful of my rental machines are still on Snow Leopard so I end up switching back and forth a lot. I do like the new scrolling in combination with the magic mouse.
Is anyone here familiar with Photoshop Elements (eta: V10)?
Am I correct in assuming that the Process Multiple Files option will *not* downsize my images to a given maximum width, but rather resize everything to 800 fucking pixels wide?
I know I had a tool before that observed maximum dimensions, and I got rather carried away thinking that's what I was doing here. And then major oops.
