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.
