There is a way to cut or move in finder (in addition to dragging):
step 1: cmd + C
step 2: cmd + option + V
Leave out the option in step 2 and you're copying, obviously.
The difference to windows is that you make the decision whether to copy or move in the second step instead of the first. It still weirds me out.

The only direction Intel has to go with its integrated graphics is up even if the increments it makes are minor. The price of the 13" rMBP will eventually go down in a generation or two as there is no way it stays at $1,700.

How did I never know this?
Fuck me.
Anyways, jut picked up a topping TP30 mini headphone amp and I was very happy to learn that OS X recognized it immediately. Sounds good and looks good next to a mini.
My friend has an old iMac in our dorm room that he barely uses. Definitely would be better to have it as a second monitor. Thanks for the heads up!
It's some thing they added very recently. Like with 10.7 or maybe 10.6. And the presence of the option is 100% hidden. so, yeah, don't worry about "missing it".

Yeah, it's one of those special "Hidden until you press the right modifier" menu options. Open all the menus on OS X and press some modifiers. You'll see a few of them change to alternate things.
I thing Apple did this to keep it cleaner looking instead of filling every menu with every option. Which is why we have an "option" key in the first place.
For instance, in the Finder you have the following:
Rather have three separate "Info" options showing at once in the File menu, OS X only shows the main one and changes it depending on the modifier you press.

For instance, in the Finder you have the following:
Command+I is "Get Info". It shows all the information for a single file. If you have multiple files selected it opens a window for each one.
If you press Option at the same time it turns to "Show Inspector" which is like Get Info but is a floating window that changes its contents when you change file selections.
If you press Control instead it changes to "Get Summary Info" which is like the Inspector, in which it can show information for multiple files at once, but it doesn't change when you select another file.

What?
Oh! Sorry I misunderstood your post. I am assuming it will come over close to launch. IF IT EVER LAUNCHES

I just fucking bought one.
Its Valve, it will be on OSX and running decently optimized.

I can't really judge how Valve games run on OS X because I think the graphics card in my Macbook Pro died.
If I get bored ill try and run my Retina at 2880x1800 using HD4000 graphics. See what can beat it.
Which Pro do you have?

Even the 650M struggles at times on a scaled resolution. I can't imagine what 2880x1800 would be like.
The 650M needs 2GB of VRAM. But I can run Crysis.

I think we will see 1.5GB in whatever chip is in this year's model.
Question for anybody: Does using a higher scaled resolution (i.e. 1920 x 1200) on the rMBP drain the battery faster than something like 1680 x 1050?
Using any scaled resolution affects performance. And should drain the battery at a different rate.

So I'd be better off at 1680 x 1050 then? I'm fine with using it, but the extra real estate with 1920 x 1200 is amazing and could definitely help me in FCP.
EDIT: Wow, I had no idea Apple used the script from the Crazy Ones ad in the display settings.
Even more weird since I was watching it on YouTube earlier today. I miss Steve dearly.
What Retina do you have? The native resolution is neither of those.

Junior Member
I have the 15 inch. I know 1440 x 900 would give me the best performance, but the amount of screen real estate it offers is too little for me.
I use two ticks to the right of that.
Im on W7 bootcamp so im not sure which that is.

That would be what I am using right now, 1920 x 1200. Why not go for the native 2880 x 1800?
I kid, it would be too small!

What is the resolution output for the furthest to the right setting?

Im going to figure out what im talking about when I get home.
My tax return is $1300 of disposable money.
TB display needs to get an update pretty quick here.

I spilled protein shake all over my MBP, how screwed am I? I tried removing the keys on the keyboard, broke some in the process, and I can not possibly get all the gunk out. Feels bad

Did you turn it off?

Yes immediately, and the shake was thick so it did not sink too far in, but I don't know seems impossible to adequately clean the keyboard
Your model is one that has frequent graphics card death. But is also one that runs Valve games fine. I beat Portal 2 on the Early 2008 15"
Edit. Whoops i'm wrong. It isn't the one that has frequent death. But still should be able to run those games fine.

Just bought a new 13" MacBook Air, essentially maxed out.
2.0 GHZ i7, 8 GB Ram, 256 GB SSD
I checked the Mac Rumors buying guide, and it seems that the only upgrade for 2013 would be newer processors across the board and Retina display standard for the Pro line (ie: Air won't see that much difference).
Is that the consensus here? Or would it be worth it to return this Air and wait until June for potentially significant upgrades?

I wanted to know if an Intel 4000 could run them, not my lcurrent laptop.

A Retina Thunderbolt Display would be 4K, wouldn't it? I think the 650M could handle that. It can drive two Thunderbolt Displays simultaneously, right?
The current TB display 2560x1440. But it doesn't have USB3.0 which is a huge problem for me.
Hoping the refresh has 3.0
Might have to disassemble.
The Air HD4000 is different than the rMBP one.
This is one of the reasons why I bought a Dell u2713hm. It was $300 cheaper. It has a usb3.0 hub. It has dvi, VGA, hdmi, and display ports (apple has none of these). It does not have thunderbolt, internal speakers, or a FaceTime camera. But I didn't care about those things. The screen is at least as good as apples TB display. The dell stand provides much better tilt and swivel options too.
Wish I could have grabbed one of those :/
The price difference over the u2412 just was too hard to swallow.
The u2713hm is $650 @ amazon right now.

Im just going to buy a new one, maybe an a Air. I will let the damaged one sit for a couple of weeks to dry out. It smells like banana and kale still

It's not that unlikely, really.
The insides of computers are dark and warm places. Keep your desks & houses clean!
You would not believe how many ant infested Wii Remotes I have seen in my lifetime.
Electronics with a way (fans, speakers, etc) in run the risk of being like bug motel with no poison when/if they come across them. So yeah, keep clean!
not a bad price but still more than double what i paid for the 2412
Well even though it is only an extra three inches on the diagonal, it feels like it has almost double the screen real estate.
