Re: Apple launches iOS 13, watchOS 6, and Apple Arcade

If you're upgrading from an XS to an 11 Pro, will the iTunes method of backup/restore (which is always IMO fastest, faster than iCloud or direct transfer wirelessly) require that the XS be on iOS 13, or can it go from 12 to 13?

Re: How Apple’s Aperture created a new class of app and lost it to Adobe Lightroom

iacas — Fri, 19 Oct 2018 16:28:27 -0000

I still haven't moved my photos over to Lightroom. Part of it's laziness. Well, most of it. But about 1% hopes that Apple changes their mind and releases a new Aperture. Or Photos Pro. Or something.

Yeah, but how many times can it charge my iPhone? ;-)

So if you own a dog, there's at least a 15% chance you'll never die? :-)

Re: iCloud Tabs not working in your macOS Sierra beta? Here’s a fix.

This still doesn't fix this for me on iOS 11.1 and 10.13.1. My desktop and laptop tabs show up everywhere, but neither my desktop nor my laptop see my iPhone X tabs. I restored my phone from my old iPhone 7, so maybe there's something to that?

This is true for the average player as well, as noted in a book I co-authored called "Lowest Score Wins." We recommend, in the absence of a *glaring* weakness, that amateurs devote 65% of their time practicing their "Full Swing Motion," 20% practicing their short games, and 15% practicing their putting. The book has *lots* more of course, but the importance of the long game is true at every level of golf.

Each group does NOT have a rules official with them.

Better yet, pick up a copy of Lowest Score Wins (http://lowestscorewins.com/).

Good luck.

Typical Feinstein-on-Tiger.

Full of guesses, and continuing to grind the same old axe. The fact that half of your article was spent talking about THAT - why so many people feel you have some a grudge against the topic of your piece - and not about Tiger himself demonstrates this quite well.

You once got awfully pissy about Tiger having Phil putt out before him at Pebble Beach on your personal (now vanished) blog, robbing Phil of the spotlight for his victory or something. Yet when several of your facts were shown to be blatantly wrong (that Charlie Wi was still on the course and was capable of winning the tournament [i.e. Phil hadn't won yet] and perhaps even more importantly that Phil *asked* Tiger if he could putt out, among them), you had nothing to say. No retraction. No "oops, I let my hatred for Tiger get the best of me again." Not a peep. It was yet another one of your typical "Feinstein hates Tiger" columns. Just like this one.

I'm sure you've likely never seen him hanging around at his home with his children. Spending quality time with his dad prior to his passing. Or on vacation with Elin, or Lindsey, or any of his friends.

No, you are speculating and basing your "insight" based on how you THINK he feels while he's at his JOB. Additionally, when he sees YOU, I imagine his mood sours just a bit.

Justifiably.

Disagree. One of the best series finales I've seen. Maybe not Breaking Bad good, but up there.

Sigh. Another season not to be.

Resign yourself to that and everything they do manage to achieve will be gravy.

We need some CSI-level enlargements. We need to get reflections of faces from hubcap bolts from satellites and stuff.

A big kill on a horrible penalty. The refs apparently hate Despres too.

The last quote was the most interesting to me.

I wonder what it was about the remnants of FHCMT's system + a sprinkle of HCDB's system that had the Pens playing at .549 and doing so well.

Exactly what it seems like they're doing. Can't bring himself to put "The Piece" and an Olympian on the third pairing together.

The Caps and Sharks and Ducks have good teams that don't perform in the playoffs. Meanwhile, teams like the Red Wings are always dangerous in the playoffs.

I think that coaching and the team makeup is a big part of that. There are good playoff teams, and good regular season teams. Unfortunately, it seems the Pens have turned increasingly into the latter.

Re: RECAP: Game 63. Pens beat Ducks 3-2 in shootout.

iacas — Sat, 08 Mar 2014 12:28:52 -0000

The shot totals may be a fluke or the sign of a trend. May need to score more of those dirty goals. Sometimes it seems like the Pens respond to (mild, at this point) adversity by trying to be even more perfect, even prettier.

Bed at 1am last night. Woke up at 5. Hope to stay awake for this one. Hope it's WORTH staying awake for this one.

Re: QUICK CAP: Penguins pushed around by Sharks. Lose 5-3.

James Neal was too busy trying to make fancy passes and shots. Guy is great when he has time and space, but those commodities do not exist in playoff hockey.

Lee Trevino was pretty good.

Now we just need to find someone named Ren…

Lee Harvey Oswald "did something." Wasn't very good, but it was "something."

But yeah, beyond that, the list gets pretty thin. Lee Majors? Lee Stempniak will not be a six million dollar man, I can tell you that.
