Here’s a really pedantic bug I found in Mac OS X 10.4.2 Software Update: while you are installing more than one update if you reorder the list of updates by clicking on one of the column headings the spinner’s (the clock-like circle to the left of Quicktime in the first figure), which is a visual indication of which update is currently installing, position remains static. It doesn’t move when the list is reordered, so in the second figure it now appears that iTunes is being installed.

It has now been a week since I entered the world of 2.5G telephony by upgrading my mobile to one of the new w800i Walkman phones. Like any impulsive and expensive purchase, it has had its upsides as well as its downsides …

Things that have impressed me so far:

• form factor
  • compared to Nokia 3310
    • my previous phone was a 113mm x 48mm x 22mm bar of soap, weighing 133g
    • the w800i is a 100mm x 46mm x 20.5mm bar of soap, weighing 99g
  • compared to most 3G phones
• radio
  • 4zZz, oh how I’ve missed you
  • of course this doesn’t work in the tunnel between Brunswick St and Central…
• camera
  • I’m not that great a photographer, and the convenience of a 2Mpix camera phone suits me

    fine

  • flash works very well, although it is very bright (people don’t like to have it shining in

    their eyes)

Things that have caused me hassles:

• User Manual
  • Unable to download the user guide from Sony-Ericsson’s JavaScript-laden website, even in

    IE

• MMS

List of data accounts full. Delete unused accounts and try again.

• • I think Vodafone need to have a chat to Brightpoint. Why should a phone arrive pre-configured for Telstra WAP, with no room to download Vodafone’s account settings?
  • it took me ages to figure out how to delete data accounts, to make room for the Vodafone PXT and GPRS settings
• MP3 file manager

No artists found
This problem might be caused by using the wrong PC software. Please use the Disc2Phone software to
transfer your music files to your phone.

• recharging very slow
  • according to the setup instructions, it should take about 2.5 hours to fully charge the battery on first use
  • so far I have not managed to charge the battery to 100%, even leaving it on charge overnight
• battery life
  • miles better than the 3310 of course, but walking around listening to the radio or mp3’s all the time does chew through the battery

The Lego Office Terrorist Series

In appreciation of the current world climate and the increase in terrorist style
tactics in office politics, Lego is proud to announce the arrival of the much

automatic sub machine gun. Or simply attend meetings and stab people in the back
in front of them and in front of the boss. Yes, the office terrorist Lego character has
no fear. She probably suffers from bipolar disorder, multiple personality disorder,
disillusions of grandeur and a range of other psychotic symptoms, but she is one
tough cookie.

Standard Attachments Sold Separately:

• 5 Grenades on a camo coloured grenade belt
• Micro tape recording device and phone tapper
• Small flick knife disguised as a hair comb

Downloaded the new version of QuickTime to the iBook last night, and was surprised to find that the QuickTime player now has two “Help” menus!

So in keeping with Apple Bug Friday the bug was filed as rdar://problem/4300762.

I mean come on, exactly what the fuck is this supposed to mean?
