Dumb stupid freaking piece of shit MacOSX when networking with Windows 7

The more I use Mac OSX, the more I find it a stupid piece of shit OS when dealing with networking Windows 7 machine.  Just a while ago I was moving a directly from the MacMini to a Windows 7 shared folder.  The folders were already there in the destination, and I am so used to that when copying files to a destination that has the folder already exist, the OS should be smart enough to MERGE the content.  Well, it turns out that son of the bitch OS REPLACED the content of those folder.

So I lost everything I originally have in those folder.

Luckily, those are not critical items, and I can always redownload again.  But that really is shitty.

Stuff 5 machine limitation with iTune

My iTune authorization just reached 5 machines again.  So instead of search around and try to figure out which machine to deauthorize, I just de-authorized all the them.  Now I start with 1 again, which is the closet server.  STupid iTune.

Didn't really plan on install iOS 4.3.1 with jailbreak, but did it anyway

I realized that untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.1 was released a few days ago.  But then I didn't feel like I have an urgent need to install it.  After all I wasn't impressed by any of the iOS 4.3.1 feature, and there's no app that I really wanted to run which requires iOS 4.3.1, so I was like, why rush.

Well, last night, there was a game magazine that requires 4.3.1, so because of this little incentive, I decided to go for 4.3.1.

In fact I did something crazy: I installed the Jailbreak first and then install the iOS 4.3.1.  Then I realized that I need to install the jailbreak again, which is no big deal.  I just wasted the time I spent at first.  So remember next time: install new OS first, and then jailbreak.

Of course, at the end, I also installed Installous 4 to complete the whole thing.

FileBrowser for iPad keeps on giving

One great thing about buying iPad application is that you keep on getting update, and you find the application keeps getting better and better.

One prime example is FileBrowser.  When I first brought it, it barely does what I want it to do, which is allowing me to access phone on the network.  The photo browsing experience was terrible.  The application is unstable.  All sort of problem here and there made me almost want to ask for a refund.

Fast forward to one year later, I did an update just a while ago, and found it basically does everything I want it to do.  I can stream music from my local network.  I can browse photos and see the thumbnail.  The photo viewer is actually smooth and good.  I can open files in another application.
