Decivilization Low Point: Druggie Parents Steal Kids Christmas Cash

christmas, decivilization

Just when I think we’ve marked a low point in the ongoing decivilization process, something happens to set the bar even lower.  These lowlife, druggie parents stole cash from their children’s Christmas cards, which were gifts from the kids’ grandparents.  Here’s the link: http://www.prescottaz.com/main.asp?SectionID=1&SubSectionID=1&ArticleID=126848&TM=53593.48

The thieves were taken to jail.

What’s most disturbing is this does not strike me as impossible.

Updated to OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks

apple, mavericks, os x 10.9.1

I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 Mavericks today. I had to update a graphics converter called Flip4Mac that plays Windows video files on Macs.  It looks like Adobe Lightroom is running a little slower on the new OS.  I’ve read that Mavericks likes more memory, I have 24 GB installed so I should be fine.  Earlier I installed it on my older Mac Pro laptop, where the speed decline was noticeable. This 6 year old laptop is maxed out at 4GB of memory and has 2 cores vs. the 4 in the iMac.

I had no problems with the hour long update. Prior to installing I used disk utility to make sure there were no problems with the hard drive, and I also told it to fix file permissions and it fixed quite a few files. I had read to do this before updating the OS. Cost to update from 10.8? $0.00 Nice, thanks Apple. How much does Microsoft charge for a major OS update?
