Does anybody know if Chrome has been updated to stop crashing the rMBP yet?

Google disabled some stuff until a permanent fix is found. I think.

Yea, .Neo's right. The crashes are apparently caused by a fault in the Intel HD 4000 drivers that Google has worked around for now.

Thanks, was waiting for two people to say so before installing it. Shame it's not retina enabled yet :(

So they decided to use the Discrete Graphics instead until a fix?

It's retina enabled in the dev channel.

Don't know. I only use it for a few specific things, and I force my graphics card with gfxCardStatus.

Definitely not worth using yet. This is what happens when you fullscreen a flash video! You get non-retina functionality.

But ?9.99 is close to the price mark of 20 dollars. And the date posted was before the price was announced. I'm not a cheap skate, I'm happy to pay for the same retail price as Lion, I was just saying it'll be cool if it was priced lower, which was more then enough a given because of the new 1 year cycle.

Anything is better then paying ?80 ~ ?120 for Windows 7/8 Professional.

Actually, ?9.99 isn't a close conversion rate at the moment. The price conversion comes in at almost exactly what Apple's pricing it at... ?13.99. (although the conversion is actually a little over ?14)

That's weird I'm not having those issues at all. I wonder what is causing it.

Edit: and I just saw your latest post with the answer..

I don't have that problem in either Chrome Dev or Safari.

You're right about the framerate in Chrome though. It's horrible. Especially compared to Safari 6's buttery smoothness.

So is Mountain Lion ready for release tomorrow? I would think Apple would have said something by now if the 25th was the official release... Are we going to see this pushed back to August?

Release date will probably be announced a few hours from now at the Q3 '12 earnings conference call.

You can listen to the audio webcast at 2:00 PM / PT here.

Why would they need to say anything in advance?

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
