  Scared of the Lion's Roar

  I'd like to begin with a rather amazing (and also somewhat depressing) little bit of news that has circulated around the web this week. This is what I'm talking about. I also don't like to think about how much I've contributed to that war chest!
  
  But..onto the main thing I wanted to write about, and it isn't a million miles away from that news cause it concerns the all mighty Apple once again! You may or may not have heard that very recently the Mac OS has been given an update to what they're calling 'Lion'. This new OS X is not quite a revolution but it has a few new features that have caught my eye and it's only very cheap to begin with (20.99 in British pounds and pennies). A lot of Apple users I know lap up the new updates without even stopping to contemplate the consequences of doing so..not that there should be any. But there are! Hence the title of my blog..I'm actually reasonably scared of updating from Snow Leopard. Why, you ask? There have been various reports that things actually just stop working due to compatibility issues with the new OS which is incredibly disappointing but sadly very much customary for a new launch of a digital product in this day and age.
  
  My plight isn't anywhere near other Mac owners..I do not rely on any applications to help me make a living but besides I still don't want to lose anything that I've paid for and have a right to use whenever I damn well please! Dan isn't a happy bunny if he doesn't get his minimum weekly dosage of Mac San Andreas. Damn you Apple! PS - hurrah for August though..birthday month FTW!

  Achievement Unlocked: SUPER secret blog!

  100G. If you're reading this..congrats you've found my (temporarily at least!) secret blog. Why is it secret? Cause half the profile page is missing where you'd usually find people's blogs and therefore you will only find this by chance! Gotta love Glitchspot.

  Do it Properly or Don't Bother.

  Quick ranties. The subject matter: Gamespot Fuse.
  
  I keep accidentally getting onto Fuse whilst looking at my profile somehow and get this: it's almost impossible to get back to the place I frequent most: these here forums! :0 Don't get me wrong..I like having my achievements linked to my profile (although seeing as the Raptr client doesn't work on Apples I cannot add my PS3 trophies which far outnumber my 360 equivalents!) but if you're going to make it work..do it right. Not half arsed. For that see the Fuse profile pages: giving anything you've done precedence over the main feature of pages: the good old blawg. Most pointless rant ever? Perhaps. Regardless..sort it out GS. Peace and chicken grease..
