Or did the (what seemed like) daily updates about developers getting apps rejected in the App Store become a non-issue like over night??

I can’t remember the last time I heard a report complaining about Apple’s strict store policies. I wonder what changes took place to create this shift in public opinion?

If I had to guess, all the people that were complaining about Apple went to Android after their platform finally matured. haha. Ah, finally, the Internets are calm again.

Apple needs to build a check into the App Store that tells you whether or not you are attempting to download an app that is not compatible with your device.

And if you still choose to ignore the warning and download the app, then your ability to review the app in the App Store should be revoked.

Too many morons, with too much free time on their hands have nothing better to do than to hurt the rankings and efforts of a hard working developers by complaining about an app that won’t launch when the description clearly stated it would not work on their device.

This has got to stop and Apple is the only one who can fix it.

Apple has a brand new feature called Resume which is part of Mac OS Lion.

This new feature can be both good and bad. It’s good if Safari (or any other app) crashes while you are using it because when you re-open the app, none of your data will be lost, and Lion puts you back exactly where you were before you crashed.

However, it can be bad when you have like 18 tabs open in Safari, you quit the app, and then a couple hours later you decide to open Safari again only to have those 18 tabs restore themselves upon launch.

But there is a solution! There is a new keyboard shortcut for quitting apps that will remove the Resume “cache” (or whatever you want to call it) so that the next time you open the app it won’t restore your last session.

Simply press  + ⌥ + Q  (cmd + option + Q) and it will quit the app, and clear all the Resume information stored for that session.

First of all, Launchpad is an abomination. 

Secondly, it’s default order and organizing abilities are beyond unusable.

Furthermore, you can only delete apps from Launchpad that you bought from the Apple Store! I don’t even know how (or if it’s possible) to manage your existing apps through Launchpad. When you hold the mouse down on an app that was installed prior to the App Store, you don’t get a black X to delete it. I am guessing you have to go through the Finder, and then delete or move them from the Applications folder so that they don’t appear in Launchpad.

Adding folders of apps to Launchpad breaks the folders during the transfer and then lists all the apps separately instead of keeping them in the folder. THEN, in Launchpad, you have to manually re-add them to a folder again. WHAAAAT??! WHY??!

Unlike the iPad, Launchpad lists items that are not technically “apps” instead of just the apps themselves and nothing more. If you have Starcraft or Adobe installed, then you know what I mean. Just Google “Starcraft Launchpad Lion”

There is no search bar for Launchpad.

And lastly, if you don’t own a newer Mac (I own the mid 2007 Mac Mini), Launchpad takes about 1.5 years to actually open and render it’s animation. Making it completely useless and 10 times slower than using something like Alfred or the Dock.

So Apple, I ask, who was Launchpad made for? Who the hell is the target demographic for this abhorrent user interface? Satan? Don’t lie, the Devil himself commissioned you for this didn’t he?

To purchase and install Mac OSX Lion tomorrow? :D

I think I am going to do it. I just have to run Time Machine first…

(That is, of course, if the Adobe CS3 design suite has no conflicts with it.)

Here is the direct download link since searching for it in the store won’t bring it up:

UPDATE: There is already an update for the app in the App Store, haha. Wow that was fast!
