Will you be ordering the new iPhoneS or C ?

The problem with the LinkedIn is that if anyone that has ever emailed you and kept you as a contact for any reason you'll get the occasional spam email. I'm no LinkedIn fan, and have never used it, but you can't get too upset with them if people aren't smart enough to use email and the internet correctly/appropriately/responsibly.

Back to iOS7, I feel at home already, it hasn't even been 24 hours.

 

Are you saying all my friends and family members who have LinkedIn should delete my email address after they email me??? On the contrary, mining people's computers for email addresses and then using them to send out spam saying that person wants to add me to their list, when they never made any such request, is dishonest and should be illegal.

 

West coast time.

 

I didn't forget anything. I've NEVER been on LinkedIn. I know NOTHING about them or how they work except that they keep sending me emails.

And I'll bet that "wizzard" is buried where only tech savvy people would find it, and I'll bet it does not make clear that they intend to invade your computer to mine all the email addresses stored there for the purpose of sending out unsolicited emails.

Anyone who really wanted me to join a social networking site just so I could be on their list could send me a personal email directly, and tell me how it is that I'm supposed to know them, since with only one exception, I have no idea who any of them are, and I strongly suspect that some of them are people I don't know at all and have never communicated with, and that LinkedIn is just trying to build its member base. Sleazy.

 

Gold 16 GB unlocked 5s ordered very shortly after the online Apple store opened, per Apple to ship in 1-3 business days.

 

Who bought what?

 

Insane. Lining up that far for an "S" update.

 

Apparently the Gold ones all hit October shipping status within the first half hour (except for the Tmobile versions). I bit the bullet and purchased gold 64GB. Didn't really want to, but the fingerprint login was just too much of a convenience for me to ignore. Also, after playing with ios7 the last couple of days, I'm hoping the new phone makes it a bit more snappy.

 

Android fan here so no.

It boggles the mind that people would rather wait in a ling three blocks long than wait a few weeks and maybe avoid a few early bugs that get worked out in those first few days. I've bought two devices the day they came out, but only because I could walk in, buy them, and walk out. And in the first of those cases, I didn't even know: I had decided several years ago to buy an iMac. I did my research, slept on it, then went to the store and found that there was a brand-new model available. (I was prepared to wait a bit for the iPad Mini because I wanted to take it on an upcoming trip and time was short, but I'd have walked away if there had been a three-block-long line.)

 

well, some of that group are scalpers;
others enjoy the experience of being around like minded mac-addicts. Perhaps similar to going to a Sci-fi convention ?
And then there are those who enjoy being one of the first in their social group. Something to talk about, and be a focus of attention. I tried unsuccessfuly for years to convince my kids to wait for a movie on DVD or download rather than spend money on the cinema. No go, because the social outing and chat afterwards was important to them.

 

I am using iOS 7 on an iPad Mini and am actually astounded to find that dictation works really well.

Be sure to try it out, you just might be very pleasantly surprised.

This is my first message using dictation. I had to correct one word.
