The Official Apple Thread: Introducing the new, thinner, lighter...

No, the assumption being there's no use for higher resolution if the hardware is too weak to support it. I know what 1080p stands for, I was too lazy to write the resolution and also you know what I meant by it so it's fine.

There'll be plenty of games that'll support the retina screen and run just fine. Not every game needs to run @60fps per second or is a shooter.

After only using Twitter on my iOS devices for several months due to the lack of any good (and by good I mean one that meets my many requirements) Twitter clients this is exactly what I needed. Tweetbot all the way. But to be clear, it is an Aplha and it does have bugs so bear that in mind if you want to try it out.

Worth the update price just for the notification centre and twitter integration imo, getting a bit excited now

Apple's Q3 Financial call will be today at 5pm ET - 21:00 GMT. They'll probably announce the Mountain Lion release day on that call as well. So it might be worth keeping an ear on later. http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.ne...ent/index.html

And I need to send in my 4S for fixing.

Buttons are starting to act weird.
First the home button started not registering clicks, though rarely.
Power button has stopped working. It's not even clickable.
And the + volume button started sounding weird.

yup 19.99 on the apple store, or free for recent MAC purchasers.

Can I purchase a copy from the US store and safely install it on my German hardware?

Should not be a problem. There's no serial number or DRM in the release and there's only one version for all regions, the package includes all languages. But, it should be in the German Mac App Store too.

It is in the German store too but I prefer to top up my US account since that's the one I mainly use for renting movies so that'd be more effective for me.

I see. Yeah you can just go for it, won't be any issues I think. Report back.


I'm updating soon, watching football now.

[The Cage]

I'm gonna update mine later

[Tutankhamun]

I'm getting the 100 error stating the item isn't available right now so I have no choice but to update later

EDIT: Of course, after writing that and trying one last time it works! ~20 minute download.

[Duff-MaN_]

My download time is currently fluctuating between 2 hours and a day lol, hopefully it's the former

edit: enough time to read John Siracusa's review always enjoy reading his work, his snow leopard review is what convinced me to jump ship to mac

[Tutankhamun]

Mines downloading now. Going to read Siracusas review later, need to pickup some beverages and snacks first. Don't want to pass out.

[Duff-MaN_]

haha exactly, the only reviews I know that are sold on the kindle store
