OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 2

OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 2

Apple seeds OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 2 build 14A261i on Tuesday, June 17, 2014.

The first OS X Yosemite Developer Preview was too buggy for my 2010 MacBook Pro. The font doesn’t look right and I suspected that it was designed to look best on Retina Display. The support for NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M was pretty abysmal.

I have not had enough time using OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 2 to find out if it’s going to run well on older Macs. Time will tell.

Indeed, that is definitely the photo I took. I uploaded this photo on 37prime Flickr account, dated December 20, 2010 under Creative Commons: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0).

M.G. Siegler must be too busy checking his million-dollar account balance that he doesn’t have the time to give proper attributions.

Amazon Prime Music

Amazon launches Prime Music:

Your music collection just got a lot bigger.
Unlimited, ad-free streaming of over a million songs and hundreds of playlists.
And the best part is …it’s FREE with Amazon Prime.

On Thursday, June 11, 2014 Amazon updated its Amazon Cloud Player app and renamed it to Amazon Music.

One million songs seems to be anemic compared to Spotify’s claim on 20 millions of global songs count.

Apple Seven-for-One Stock Split

Apple-7-for-one-Stock-Split

June 9, 2014 is the first trading day for Apple stock (AAPL) following the Seven-for-One split.

AAPL closed at $645.57 ($92.22 on post-split adjustment) on Friday, June 6, 2014. After the Seven-for-One split, AAPL closes at $93.70 on Monday, June 9, 2014.

Surprisingly, Forbes, a huge business/financial publications does not really understand how stock split works.

According to Forbes, AAPL plummeted by $551.87. Not sure if Forbes is either incompetent or lying.
