Loads on Chrome and Safari. Does your site work in Retina iPad Safari in the iOS Simulator? It's definitely not an exact match on environment. It works on mine, just FYI.

Yeah I haven't had problems with it on the retina iPad. Just the MBP on the front page and some of the product pages. I thought it might have been Safari 6, but I upgraded and everything is okay on my 2010.

Loads fine in Safari. I'm still rocking Lion, though if that makes any difference.

Does anyone have opinions on VPN clients? A few that I'm considering are Viscosity, Tunnelblick, and the native client in preferences.

Strange question, but I forgot to test this at the Apple Store: Does OSX have system-wide smooth scrolling? I find scrolling through a long note in Evernote in Windows to be disorienting, and since OSX tends to have cool little features that make the OS experience a lot nicer, it'd be cool if it did.

I've been using macs for a long time but I've never actually used Boot Camp. Now it looks like for school I might have to so I was wondering, is any good? Is it easy to switch back and forth and do all Windows programs work with out a fuss? Sorry if this is a stupid question/has been answered.

It works fine and it's running Windows on native PC hardware. If you're on a laptop the battery won't last as long in Windows. You can switch between OSX and WIndows in about a minute.

Our campus officially requires us to use Cisco's VPN software which the provide for download, but I'm of the mindset that I would like to have as little aftermarket system software on my machines as I can. I extracted the VPN key from the cisco config and set up the VPN on my machine and exported the config. Now whenever anyone on a Mac asks me, I just point them at my vpn config file for them to download and doubleclick. So much easier.

I should figure out how to do that. I hate the Cisco client. Viscosity is really nice though. I use it for tunneling to my seedbox to get around work's Internet filter.

It's easy enough to switch, just restart and hold down option while your Mac is booting up. The only problem I'm having on Windows with my MacBook is the trackpad, it's hard to find something that matches the support it has on OS X. Trackpad++ is good, but it's still quite buggy for me.

It's almost system-wide but not quite (Firefox doesn't do inertial scrolling at all but, as far as I know, every other app does)

Viscosity and Tunnelblick are both OpenVPN clients. I've used Tunnelblick before and it works fine. I've also used the native client with PPTP and IPsec VPNs and it works fine (and I prefer this to OpenVPN when possible).

I don't know if this is a problem with Safari or my internet connection, but I've been having trouble loading some pages. The most common problems are with omnibar searches, but I've had problems with any sort of page. Basically it will take forever to load, and if >1 page is attempting to load there won't be any sort of progress until I pause all but one of them. When I look on Activity Monitor it's showing non-existant or very low speeds (eg, ~50KB/s). I've had this issue both on my home internet and on the campus internet, although tending more towards the former (it's a 10Mb connection though so it shouldn't be saturated). Anyone have any ideas?

Well this is poo poo. The 720p h264 file my 2007 MP couldn't play back without dropping frames on its 2.16 Ghz C2D plays back fine on my falling apart Dell with 1.3Ghz ULV C2D. Not using CoreAVC on the Dell either. Just the built in decoders that come with MPC-HC.

So, I just found out that work may be buying me a 15" Macbook Pro as my work machine instead of the crappy Dells we have now. So I'm happy about this, but I also heard they are going to be putting McAfee Endpoint Encryption on the Macbook Pro (instead of just using FileVault 2). I was wondering if anyone was familiar with this software and could tell me how much it's going to suck.

Yes, if developers don't try to reinvent the wheel poorly. Cross-platform behemoths like Firefox are maddening but 99% of the software out there will smooth scroll with your system setting.

Well I don't think there's anything wrong with the hardware on the MP. Just that there are no good players/decoders. I'm able to play back the Apple encoded 720p trailer for cloud atlas fine. The Dell has a Radeon 1250 with shared memory I believe. I don't think its much better if at all since its older than the intel 950. I don't think the MPC-HC filters are even using it.

They have the addresses listed on the OpenDNS home page towards the bottom:  If you sign up (static IP) you used to be able to use some features for free like URL filtering, which worked good for blocking spyware and porn sites. But, it looks like you have to pay for that now. They do offer the URL-correcting stuff for free, which I've learned can be a very bad thing. Nothing like testing an email you sent to 50,000 people and having it work at the office because OpenDNS 'fixed' the url from https://www.whatever.cm to https://www.whatever.com but the link was broken in the email

If it's the Radeon 1250, it has hardware acceleration for H.264, VC-1, WMV9, and MPEG-2 video streams, which takes most of the burden away from the CPU and leverages it directly on the GPU. Intel GMA 950s by comparison barely has MPEG2 support for DVD playing and was intended to be optimized for low power period, speed and all that other bullshit is totally deprecated.

Huh thats neat. I always thought that it was too old and designed before hw decode became popular. Do any of the 3rd party movie players for OS X support hardware decode if the GPU supports it? Maybe its me but I've always had the impression that OS X media players have been less optimized vs Windows builds even though they are mostly using the same open source decoders.

Apple didn't even include accelerated video decoding system wide until 2010 / OS X 10.6.3, and even then initially only for nVidia based chips such as the 320M and 9400M, then AMD Radeon HD chips later, and Intel HD chips waaaay later. IMHO only the latest Intel HD 4000 chips come even close in video acceleration power to that of the nVidia 320M.

Is anyone having any problems with Messages? Version 7.0 (3103) on 10.8.1 It's having syncing issues. I'll get messages on my iPhone and iPad, but not on the Macbook. It's not an apple ID/phone number issue, since we're both messaging our apple IDs. Basically, I'll get a message, then maybe 30-60 seconds later it'll show up on the macbook. Then randomly it'll stop receiving messages until I send a message. When I send a message, suddenly the messages that weren't received will suddenly pop up, and the message that I tried to send will show an error, and I have to click "Try again" to have it send properly. This seems to get them back in sync temporarily. Restarting the app doesn't solve the syncing, but rebooting the computer does. Anyone else have this issue?

Two questions: 1) Does anyone know of a simple image browser for OS X? I just want to flip through this folder of 5,000 images and delete the ones I don't like. Quick Look doesn't work, Preview dies making thumbnails, and it's way too light for Photoshop. I basically just want the image viewer from like Windows XP, as terrible as that sounds. 2) Is it possible to use Automator to set iTunes to play a specific playlist at a given time? I want to add a musical alarm, basically.

You could probably use Automator or Applescript to make iTunes play a playlist, and then you could make a Calendar event to invoke that script.
