LOL, yeah I was trying to yank a graphic and the site does the auto change thing. I got that bad boy now though!
fixed!
Must be a mac thing...
You know what in some ways it is a Mac thing, copying and pasting on a Mac for me is still a pain in the ass. I also have a hard time highlighting things I want to copy. It must just be me, but I am thinking maybe not. hehehe
Temptation...is... too... great...
must resist...posting a mac bash...
Nope, I cant do it;
-Dont worry Dab, Jobs next $30 service pack will surely patch that issue. Until then maybe you just need to smoke some cupertino "kind", to get you on a more Macopasetic plane, 'bra.

Really, I've asked some of the guys here on the forum and I think it is just me so stuck in my Windows ways. Years and years of using Windows vs 6 months of using OS X. I think if I only used a Mac I could get this down, but because I still use Windows the majority of the time due to work it just seems I can't get this down. It isn't that it doesn't do it, it just I seem to struggle to remember how to do it because I am so set in my ways of doing it Windows style. Oh Well, shit happens! LOL
There is little doubt Apple knows how to maximize their bottom line and make a profit.
Props!
:bigclap: Sorry about the tone of my comment. I've taken my meds now, I'm good. I really think that the iPhone is so popular because of what I call the "Apple pie effect". It's easy to look at, and so easy to enjoy the first few bites, but by the end of it, the sweetness starts getting to you. It becomes obvious that it won't fill the void that a more complex meal would. A full meal takes a litle work though. iphone is definitely a great snack! That's my take anyway. The smoothness of the interface is simple amazing though. Why is that so complicated to everyone else? Maybe Windows Mobile 7 will step up to the plate. Even the Droid, with all of it's horsepower, jerky and unnatural. I am wondering why Slacker hasn't released an app for Windows Mobile, even for sale?? It's crazy to me. Ramble ramble...

That's just funny. I did notice he listed a Windows 7 box that I didn't notice before. Selective filtering I guess. Thanks for the big welcome!Despite what some may think, efripp is not me as an alias....
Welcome, efripp-you missed it when DedicatedAppleBoi also had a MBP picture in his sig line! Besides DAB would never suck off a stoner like Steve Jobs, he smells like stinky pot smoke.
Piss on Slacker for not having a WM app available. It's a vacuum market. No one has an app for WM that is finger friendly, enables caching for off-line listening, offers a huge selection of music.
I used to use Selectradio to listen for my favorite Sirius stations from WM, but when Sirius and XM 69'ed they evidently were having so much fun with each other that they forgot about the customer by eliminating several stations (including my personal favorite station, BoomBox), they started charging for internet radio(on top of the regular subscription), and the monthly rate went up. How did the FCC think that was in the best interest of the consumer?
Besides that, SelectRadio's UI sucks anus. Horrible UI. You can barely navigate it with a stylus. And it's a paid app. So, along with Slacker and Sirius/XM, SelectRadio needs a good slap in the nuts. Whack!
At home I've been enjoying Shoutcast fo free and it has lots and lots of stations, so I looked for a good Shoutcast app for WM and the most promising, though I've been using it for about a day, is Kinoma FreePlay. UI is slick, at least for a WM app. There's a paid version too. I'm sure I know why soon enough. Maybe it's the magical caching feature! It's not...

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
From what I can tell, Slacker development has no deadlines and they release stuff when they are good and ready. I wish I could work in an environment like that.
Damn right.
I'm patiently waiting for the WinMO app too, but I'd rather that they release an app that works than one that's buggy. But on the other hand, how long can it take to do this? It's not rocket science.
From what I can gather, they have different development teams for each platform, the Slacker Android app team worked the fastest and got caching out the soonest. While the iPhone Dev team is taking a little longer, and that's before approval from the iTunes App Store. I have heard scuttlebutt saying it'll be a little less than a month for the iPhone app, and again that's before the approval process.
