Ugh. I suppose there's no way on the Twitter web interface to not show picture previews any more? I went through all the settings and didn't see anything.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I also find getting phone calls to be about the most disturbing thing my phone does so that is my issues.
Maybe it would be more practical in this case to set it up for you to get "emergency" text messages, if a call is OTT.
I get calls I don't answer all the time, so it's not remarkable for me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So it's time to replace my four year old MacBook Pro with a Retina MacBook Pro, and I'm trying to figure out how big an SSD drive to get.
For people who have large music and/or movie and TV collections in iTunes, do you keep them all on your primary computer? Or store much of it some external drive or in the cloud? What if your primary computer is a laptop?
I'll need the 1 TB SSD if I want to continue to keep all my iTunes media files on the new laptop.

I have a 4TB NAS that holds all my media. (And upgrading to Mavericks has - fingers crossed - solved the issues I was having with iPhoto constantly crashing.)

Jessica, do you use a laptop or a desktop computer with your NAS drive? I think iTunes doesn't like not being able to find files on an unavailable external drive (or if they're just missing) when using the iTunes cloud.

My iTunes library isn't very large, but the only way I carry it around is on my iPod, so there's no reason to have it on my laptop (the "house" library actually runs off the desktop). I can point different applications at the folder structure too, which can be handy, if iTunes isn't going to be the only way I access it.
My movies take up much more space, and those are on the network too. I only copy up what I need to be mobile to whatever device is going mobile.

DH and I both connect with our laptops. The only hiccup is making sure the drive is mounted before starting up iTunes (otherwise it helpfully creates a new local library with all of your media missing).
I haven't set up Cloud or Match or whatever, so I'm not sure how that would be affected.

Hmm. Even with a 1TB drive I'm going to have to bite the bullet sometime and start using NAS storage for much of my media files. Maybe I'll keep putting that off as long as I can....

Why? I mean, it's easiest to start when you're setting up a new main computer. And it really is handy.
How do you back up now?

Laziness? I just like having everything on my main computer. Although with iTunes Match I don't really need to anymore.

Good point--I'll have to think about it.
