Happy Labor Day!
Due to Labor Day, a U.S. holiday, MacDailyNews will see limited posting today.
We will return in full force tomorrow, Tuesday, September 6th.
In the meantime, you can post Apple-related links of interest and discuss in Reader Comments below.
As always, thank you for visiting MacDailyNews!

Apple support site down for servicing or at least the portion under AppleCare registration and checking support status under My Profile within ExpressLane Support. Always makes me wonder…..I hope it is something good!
Verklempted!
Highly recommend the iPad app called Zite, zite is a personalized magazine, where it gets smarter as you use it, bringing web content in a magazine format. You choose the topics you want to see, they even have a “Mac” category !
I love Zite as well. I fear what it may become now that CNN has purchased it though. I can’t think of any good reasons for them to have bought it, but hopefully this doesn’t guarantee that we will see changes for the worse…
I think they may have realized what a powerful app, and wanted to make sure CNN is pulled more often. After I started using Zite, I wished Apple had bought them, kept it iPad only, and pre installed on all iPads, “iMagazine”
Been meaning to check out Zite. Flipboard with Twitter lists is a great way to customise content also.
Labor day is turning into more like Memorial Day – memories of when there were plenty of jobs.
Ought to be a time for sending good vibes to those remaining unemployed in a suck-ass economy.
“Ought to be a time for sending good vibes to those remaining unemployed in a suck-ass economy.”
Good vibes, huh…
Everybody take the day off! Oh wait, ben doing that for some time already. Unfortunately!
Better vibes… Presidential election is one day closer than yesterday?!
Rugged Individuals wait around for the president to make them a job.
Good vibes to you, castelbuono. Hang in there… it gets better. Don’t give up!!
Thanks C1, however, I’m self-employed and really like my career. The “good vibes” was one way to send encouragement to those seeking work but not having any luck to date.
I know the feeling. I’ve struggled with contracts and spotty freelance work for years. Hell, things even got so bad I had to take a job at Microsoft. >.<
Keep your chin up!!!
A public holiday? Isn’t that a bit communist for you yanks?
Happy Labour Day everyone 😉
International Workers’ Day (May 1) is the commemoration of the 1886 Haymarket Massacre in Chicago, illinois, USA.
A national holiday in over 80 countries around the world, except America.. Tragic.
i thought it was Internation women’s day..
Reguardless one of the two was started by the Comunist Party in the US, and of course, we couldn’t and can’t celebrate that, never mind it has nothing to do with Communism.
One of the last patents that has Steve Jobs’ name on it:
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect2=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&d=PALL&RefSrch=yes&Query=PN%2FD637201
It’s for a simple UI element. It looks like one of the close/minimize/maximize gumdrops, but he already has a patent on those. The fact that it was applied for in 2010 tells me that it’s likely something not released yet. Here’s a link to the image of it:
http://patimg1.uspto.gov/.piw?Docid=D0637201&homeurl=http%3A%2F%2Fpatft.uspto.gov%2Fnetacgi%2Fnph-Parser%3FSect2%3DPTO1%2526Sect2%3DHITOFF%2526p%3D1%2526u%3D%25252Fnetahtml%25252FPTO%25252Fsearch-bool.html%2526r%3D1%2526f%3DG%2526l%3D50%2526d%3DPALL%2526S1%3DD637201.PN.%2526OS%3DPN%2FD637201%2526RS%3DPN%2FD637201&PageNum=&Rtype=&SectionNum=&idkey=NONE&Input=View+first+page
I’m thinking it’s the UI for the upcoming voice control part of iOS. It looks a little HAL-like if you ask me. 😉
Attempting the 2nd link, I get nothing, just page header and a left sidebar. Using latest Safari and Snow Leopard.
It’s blank for you because their web designer has wrapped the image (a TIFF) in some weird container that requires a plugin. Sigh.
Weird. It loads fine for me – Safari and Snow Leopard here, too.
A work-around is to go to the first link and then click on “Images”.
Our local Church is having an “Apple Night” and I thought it was so cool. Imagine my disappointment when I found out it wasn’t computers and such, but Apple recipes? Oh well, my wife will make me an apple pie, then the world will be right again.
The United States Postal Service is going down the shitter thanks in part to their idiotic agreement with the labor union. Morons on both sides.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/05/business/in-internet-age-postal-service-struggles-to-stay-solvent-and-relevant.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha2
Just did the beginning of the month bills. Some I can pay online, but my gas & electric company charges $5 to pay online. That makes 44¢ for a stamp look like a bargain.
That’s right, it’s the unions. It has noting to do with congress controlling their rates and preventing closing down unprofitable branch offices. Ben would not appreciate you sullying his name with your posting.
I knew Ben Franklin, and he wasn’t really big on unions. He would have thought you are an asshole.
I like that Dave H added the H…
My three-year-old son managed to cause my iPad 2 to fall from the couch (while my wife was using it, grrrr) anyway… It didn’t break! So thank you, Steve and crew, for finally giving the world the kind of quality products that people crave!
Is that “grrrr” because your son knocked off the iPad or because your wife was using your iPad?
Just curious.
yes.
It’s more like you took the H away. I’m old skool 😉
*adjusts blanket over knees*
Happy Labor Day to everyone!!! And to those who are still looking for employment, I hope your search ends soon!!!
“International Workers’ Day (May 1) is the commemoration of the 1886 Haymarket Massacre in Chicago, illinois, USA.

Everyone knows the Haymarket riot never happened here in the free enterprise paradise where rich capitalists are always so kind and generous that labor wouldn’t even dream of, much less engage in, a riot or demonstration.
If you are under-employed or unemployed don’t wait for the job to come to you, migrate or immigrate to where your skills are needed. There are lots of high paying jobs out there.
Walk away from that mortgage, there are cheap houses for sale everywhere.
Labour day! It’s just in USA. What about us in other other parts of the globe? What a waste of mac-time.
MDN should spread their team around the globe so they could feed us with mac related news 365/24/7.
Well, just a glimpse of a thought
Hell yeah! Im in the us but i could care less about any holiday, or weekend for that matter. When ur self employed it doesnt matter any more
Amen brother ! Been a commercial lab owner for 13 years. Never a holiday. And when we do go on vacation. It’s bookended for a long weekend. Fri to Mon. And we still lose $$
Happy labor day to all us citizen. Enjoy it!
So i just bought a new MacBook Pro from the micro center for $1500. Quad core i7 2011 model and im not sure if i want to copy all my info from my other mac over to it or start from scratch. If i start from scratch its gonna be a long tweaking process to get it like i want but i dont want to bloat it either.
Any ideas?
Remember that there is no more Rosetta translation on Lion. You will be able to get rid of a great deal of “bloat” from pre-Intel days.
Happy Labor day to all, enjoy the BBQ and all the extra fixins!
Finally confirmed: iPhone 5 keynote on October 12!! Who’s excited? Wonder if Steve jobs will speak….
