Light saber? Check. Black boots? Check. Codpiece? Check. He's more machine than kid now.
Just an FYI. We installed mountain lion 8 here at our office and all of our webdav connections to our linux servers took a poo poo. Not sure if they switched to digest authentication or what. Would be nice if apple had some real change logs so I could figure it out.

Looks like webdav is breaking for others as well.

Webdav through transmit works though, its using a different client library, so that will have to do for now. I don't feel like troubleshooting it anymore.

How powerful is your iMac? What resolution are the videos?

Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz, 4GB RAM, 720p. I have, in the past, run 1080p perfectly, which is what confuses me - I just can't think of any changes I've made.

Is there really no way to get Notes syncing with my iphone without using a @me.com icloud address? Everything else syncs fine but not notes.


Wait, did they change this when they made the Notes app standalone? I can sync Notes from iPhone to Mail.app using gmail, can I no longer do that?

Thinking about it a bit more this seems to be something that goes on regardless of my network connection, since the video I'm currently trying to play (and it's working SOMETIMES) is on my local disc. Another thing I notice is that in Chrome, sometimes when I load a page scroll won't work for some seconds until it's had enough time to think about it - as though my machine is experiencing general slowdowns. However, I've not really noticed anything that could be causing this in activity monitor.

Nevermind, I've now got Notes syncing with my phone through Gmail. I was just hoping it was giong to work seemlessly with iCloud. I have gmail on my phone through exchange, not IMAP, so I had to add an IMAP gmail account on my phone, disable mail (so I don't get everything twice), enable notes. It's not instant syncing like on iCloud, but it works within about 5 minutes.

This bugs me as well (in Lion), a few weeks ago I looked around and the Internet consensus seems to be that there isn't a way to make it faster. You can increase the speed of the Mission Control transition (the swipe up) but not the side to side transition. Maybe there's something in ML that has changed but I somehow doubt it.

Gah. That's terrible if that's the case. I hope someone finds a workaround soon.

This is the most disappointing feature of the new OS. I was pumped to be able to stream football games to my aTV, but apparently my 2010 MBP isn't good enough for them.

Whatever, I bought AirParrot. gently caress Apple for not making that feature available to more of their install base.

Edit: Everything else about Mountain Lion is pretty cool though. Really digging Messages and the Notifications.

It's because it uses Intel Quicksync in the Sandy bridge architecture to encode the video. Hardware encoding is much more efficient which leads to better frame rates and lower stress on the system. It sucks that they don't allow a software encoding scheme for systems which can't take advantage of it, but luckily there are software solutions available.

Apple holds off features on a lot of things in order to try to entice people to upgrade-- this one was a legitimate reason for holding it off (Based on how airparrot works with my 2011 MBA and how lovely the frame rates are)-- my iPhone 4 literally pushes video more smoothly.

Under the scaled resolutions setting you can enable HiDPI stuff for regular mac laptops but don't be surprised if you can't get anything done on a "retina" 720x540 display.

Right, but I want the scaling MBPr use to achieve 1080p and the sort as it is less-blurry than what the regular 1080p looks like.

The Sparrow developers were nice enough to add Notification Center support before Google hosed over their entire user based, but it looks like the drat notifications don't go away on their own once I've read the message. I wonder if there's any chance they'll fix this as a maintenance release or if it's completely dead. I don't want to switch back to Mail.app :(

So apparently you can't install command line tools in xcode anymore without on-line authorization, which in my case fails. Even while all the files are already on my disk. Just somewhere else.

Coming back on this, they apparently fixed it now and command line tools are now installable even by us scrubs without prior authorization.

The one thing left now is GPGMail. But knowing the team behind that, it's going to take a while.
