| ID10TProof BLOG |
Not to be confused with the blog of an idiot, unlike most blogs, this one will present ideas that highlight just how idiotic people can be. Our aim is to turn their stupid-ass thinking around with your support. (Just give me a "Yeeah!" in the comments.)

| Can We Trust Apple? |
With the release of Snow Leopard 10.6.2, one would think that Apple's software has advanced to the point where it can be trusted to not destroy your work.
Yes, Apple makes it very easy for us to back up our hard drives and maintain current copies of all of our work - except the important stuff. Have you ever tried backing up just Apple Mail using Time Machine?
But this isn't my point, my point is when I write a note in Apple Mail, I expect it to be there when I reopen Apple Mail. I don't mean Apple Mail to say "loading" and have it fail, I just need my information to be there.
But I am also an iPhone user so my notes are backed up on the iPhone aren't they? There is just one thing I would have to do, I would have to make slight changes to the notes in question, on the iPhone, to ensure that the notes on the iPhone are newer than the notes that have gone missing from the Mail database so that when I sync my iPhone, the notes from the iPhone will appear in the mail database because they are newer.
But no, that didn't work either when I sync the iPhone all it did was wipe out the notes on the iPhone as well. Does this sound like a company with sound development practices? A piece of software as rudimentary as Notes inside Apple's e-mail program can't hang onto notes? Really?
Sure, I will go to my backup hard drive and I will get the notes back but it's a pain in the acts and it's Apple's fault and frankly Apple, if you can't get mail right when he good for?

A wise man once told me that we are all God in drag. I like that. Sometimes when I'm in a public place or sitting at a stoplight, I'll watch people walking by and I'll silently say to myself, "he's God. She's God. He's God. She's God." Before long I always find myself feeling a warm sense of affinity for these strangers. The experience is even more powerful when I do this while observing a person who is clearly suffering. On occasion I'll test my little spiritual practice by turning on Fox news. Within minutes I become an atheist.
