further proof

hey geeks: nothing like a reliable backup, is there? not from fucking apple there ain't. in yet another lion#fail, time machine decided the network backups are "not reliable" and insisted on starting again.

well tested, appletards!

state murder

they killed a man who was found guilty on very dubious terms because "he has had ample time to prove his innocence." that's american justice.

a true patriot

funny that the repuglicants claim promoting the foreign policy aims of another nation is considered treason. unless it's the foreign policy aims of the likud party, eh?

the texarse moron seems to have forgotten that he's not an isreali citizen.

a micro$lop moment

lion is a piece of shit. not only is it really poorly designed but the implementation is more redmondWA than cupertino.

latest fuck-up: app store said i have some updates. okay. tried to install them. said i had to sign-in with the apple id that purchased the apps. i only have one apple id. signed-in. tried to install them. said i had to sign-in with the apple id that purchased the apps ....

played this game with the itunes app store a while ago. it was a back-end database fuck-up that involved sitting on the phone to apple support for an hour or so while some dba kicked the back-end back into operation.

this one appears to be a spotlight fuck-up. wiped its databases and waiting for it to rebuild (whilst it cooks the cpu).

here's betting it doesn't fix the problem.

UPDATE: wrong. fixed it. had to reboot the machine, however, which bites.
