  • Thursday 12 January 2006 : iPhoto Sucks Less
    Or maybe it doesn’t suck at all. It certainly doesn’t crash all the time any more:...
  • Thursday 29 December 2005 : iPhoto Sucks
    I am so sick of this. I’ve explored all the reasonable alternatives, and found none of them to be reasonable: I don’t think I’ve actually been able to quit iPhoto normally for a few months now. It manages to lock up before I’m done with it 100% of the time now....
  • Sunday 11 December 2005 : The Washington Post Website Sucks

    It takes six attempts to find the web version of a column I read in the paper this morning.

  • Friday 09 December 2005 : Serious iPod Video Bugs

    Apple’s new video-capable iPod has a serious bug with playing an audiobook after playing a video; it also has a really, really annoying change to the way the scroll-wheel-feedback clicker works.

  • Thursday 01 December 2005 : Why Are So Many Businesses Run By People Who Don’t Understand Them?

    The Gap’s website debacle continues

  • Wednesday 07 September 2005 : Installing iTunes, Part 2

    The installation of iTunes is even more trouble than I originally thought.

  • Wednesday 07 September 2005 : Installing iTunes

    Apple’s Installer leaves something to be desired.

  • Friday 03 June 2005 : How Not To Do It: Customer Service In An Age Of Fraud
    Apple’s .Mac service says they want me back, but they have a funny way of showing it. I like to consider that I’m a pretty savvy person, without being paranoid. I’ve been abused of a couple of times by sleazy online merchants, but I’ve never actually been ripped off, nor have I ever been the victim of ‘identity theft’. I...
  • Sunday 08 May 2005 : Another iPhoto Bug Fix
    About a month ago, I wrote that turning off iPhoto sharing had solved a lot of my iPhoto problems. It did: iPhoto had been rendered entirely unusable because it would freeze (with the spinning beachball, sometimes called the 'spinning pizza of death' or SPOD) shortly after launch. I might be able to select a photo before it would freeze,...
  • Wednesday 06 April 2005 : iPhoto Sharing Bug?

    Turning off photo sharing in iPhoto has solved a problem with iPhoto hanging on startup.

  • Friday 25 March 2005 : Safari Drives Me Nuts

    There are serious bugs in the popular Macintosh web browser, but it's one of the many less-serious ones that annoys Tino the most.
