I didn’t say anything earlier this week when Apple decided that a great name for it’s new operating system was Mavericks. I guess they ran out of big cat names. Is it the official operating system of John McCain, or did everyone just sleep through 2008? Loaded with Mavericky energy!
Likewise, I didn’t have much to say about the new Mac Pro that looks like a Japanese trash can. Nice piece of art, but not a practical shape for the typical user’s desk. Guess they didn’t learn anything from the Cube.
IOS 7? Is it still 73 and Sunny in iPhone land? Wake me when the weather changes.
But no, today my mac did not make me happy.
I arrived hope to find the App Store had a little “2” on it. So, I apparently have 2 apps that need updating. No big deal.
So, I clicked on the icon and launched the App Store. Did it let me know which apps need updates? No! Instead of going to updates, it took me to the featured items section of the App Store, where I was encouraged to buy new software. I had to click on the “updates” button to actually get the content I came for. Maybe Apple thinks this is ok, but to me it’s like going for an oil change and having the mechanic try to sell you a second car.
Looking more and more like this is my last Macintosh. Like, for sure this time.
