As the saying goes, imitation is the sincerest form of copying. If this hadn’t been posted by a Microsoft Store account I’d think it was a parody.

Same layout? Check. Same general outfit (color coded t-shirts, lanyards, etc)? Check. Same sort of generated excitement at store opening? Check.

I wonder what they’ll do about blue screens.  I’ve never seen a kernel panic on a display unit at the Apple Store.

Mail.app stores meta information in its Envelope Index, a sqlite database.  Sometimes this database gets corrupted and you’ll have weird things like duplicated messages (that aren’t really duplicated) or messages that appear not to have senders or subjects (even though they do).  If this happens to you, quit Mail, look in ~/Library/Mail for the file named “Envelope Index”, move it to the Desktop or the Trash, then launch Mail again.  You’ll get a dialog asking if you want to import now or later, and you should click the button for now.
Then wait.
Side note: I’m almost at 100K total messages stored.  I wonder how many I get per day now.

They have got to be joking.  Doesn’t matter if you’ve already downloaded a previous version of the iPhone SDK, they make you download the whole thing all over again every time, including all the bits and pieces of every previous SDK.
What’s worse is that this is precisely the problem bundles and packages are supposed to solve.

Funny, the preference is set not to save To-Dos on the server. And yet, Mail.app creates this every launch. And it nests one further every time.
