You have to install the library Handbrake uses separately now. The only issue I’ve found is that VLC 2.0 can no longer be used to decode DVDs for Handbrake.

I think it might not be ready for prime time. The feedback on MacUpdate shows the new interface not to be popular and the SW to be a memory hog. I think it might not be ready for prime time.

]]> Comment on Lawsuit Settlement Means iPhone 4 Buyers In Line For Free Bumper Or $15 by Lorena Smuckler http://www.applebitch.com/2012/02/19/lawsuit-settlement-means-iphone-4-buyers-in-line-for-free-bumper-or-15/#comment-3309 Lorena Smuckler Mon, 20 Feb 2012 08:33:00 +0000 http://www.applebitch.com/?p=6898#comment-3309 Since I bought my iPhone 4 shortly after it was released, I've tried everything short of inserting it anally in my desperate efforts to get its connection to fail. Given how much I yearn to embrace the shrilly righteous moral imperative of the self-designated class-action victim, I find the infernal device's refusal to drop a single call nothing less than infuriating. I don't use a case: it has no scratches. I once dropped it while exiting my therapist's building: it (accurately) announced a text while bouncing down a flight of concrete fire stairs. One nasty Monday I threw into a (full) bathtub during a particularly annoying conversation with my mother: when I toweled it off, she was still squawking along uninterrupted. I forgot it was in that clever little pocket in my rain-drenched backup until it rang from inside the dryer: it was uncomfortably warm so I had to use the speaker to answer the call. The deceitfulness of those bastards at Apple is exceeded only by their supreme arrogance.  How dare they give me electronics that work?  HOW DARE THEY GIVE ME NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT?  I hate them they way I hate this Satanic little device:  with a hot, hurty hate.   Does no one care how this all smug uncomplaining perfection makes me feel?  I can just _feel_ my nasty little iPhone (and those horrible people at Apple) laughing at me.  I pray daily it will die! die! die! so that I can justify switching to an Android, which will give me something to complain about and justify my pathological sense of entitlement, which is exceeded only by my inability to ever be satisfied with anything at all.

This display is manufactured by LG. The display in the picture is a 264 ppi display from Sharp. That fits in the existing iPad, perfectly. If Apple were to use the 326 ppi display with 2048 x 1536 resolution, the diagonal screen size would be 7.85 inches. Don't be surprised if the 'one more thing', is an 8 inch iPad, in addition to the current size. Retina Display was the marketing name given to the 326 ppi display in the current iPhone.

While I like the camera swipe capability, it seems awkward to now have to move your thumb to the middle of the screen for a swipe. Is it just me or has the swipe strip also been moved up?
