Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, when I downloaded Mountain Lion it did that. The download would just freeze for long periods of time.

ya'll need to go to the direct download link.

I am not updating to ios6 until the maps issue is dealt with (e.g. google releases a maps app). I can't afford right now in a new city to lose access to the good maps app.

This is me.

Also I want to wait until other people with iPhone 4 (not 4s) report on how well it runs - sometimes being 2 generations behind means you're better off not upgrading.

How would you get that onto your phone? My download finished up a while ago (it's currently "preparing update"), but the link could be useful in the future.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

oh, got it!

so, I downloaded the ios6 update to save for later and I will update my phone via itunes. I still update my phone via itunes and not OTA.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

You're on a roll, Jon.

Can you migrate b.org to new hosting now?
