Wouldn't the high temperatures void that test though? I'd have thought screen burn will differ depending on screen temperature.

While I absolutely love the concept and really want to buy a graphics card just to play with this on my development box. Find it quite exciting how some applications are utilising graphics processing power.

But I can't help but wonder what the sys admin's response is going to be when I start asking for additional graphics cards being added to his perfectly built 2U database servers!

Crashed chrome on my mac! Also how are you suppose to scroll without a touchpad?!

While it looks really nice, there is no way I could submit/deploy a project with that kind of licence bundled in the source code.

Guess you could just change the name etc but that's not really the point!

If one of the corporate legal team picked up on this there would probably be a small shit storm following!

I always wear shirt and tie to the interview then ask about dress code as if they expect me to sit there developing suited and booted I'm not the guy for the job!

Thanks for this, currently a PHP contractor looking for work in the UK and this certainly opens my eyes up to the issues with my CV. Probably explains why I haven't been getting many interviews!

What would you suggest for a contractors CV which is primarily filled with 1-2 month contracts?

I usually try get the last years work on the CV, but as you can imagine that starts to take up quite a bit of room when you have many short term contracts.

Nice to see an independent review to back this up! Keep meaning to nip down to the Apple store and have a look but a little concerned I'll be coming home with one!

But until we have DP1.3 and external matching 5K thunderbolt display this really isn't for me. The authors comments regarding the previous thunderbolt display "However, the Retina display does make things on the other 2560x1440 displays look… a little grody." really do put me off.

Some interesting points but I personally don't agree with most of them.

Time machine, I personally hated the previous interface. Always felt it was clunky and slow.

Icons are pretty poor but they are so small on my screen it's something I can live with.

The font! Oh where to begin, after using this font for hours on end now I thought I would have got use to it, but something just isn't quite right with it!

Overall I personally am still in a mixed opinion on Yosemite, it took almost 2 days to get my work machines (iMac 2011 and rMBP 2014) back into a usable state. Almost everything was broken, network drivers (I use 10GbE), my IDE, VM environments, file sync, backups.

But worse of all they seem to have changed the mouse acceleration settings! As a long time suffer of RSI/Carpal Tunnel Syndrome I have learnt to manage it so well that most of the time I forget I even suffer with this. One of the best ways for me to manage it was to purchase a Razer Mamba mouse, which worked flawlessly in Mavericks. Installed Yosemite and the mouse was unusable even on the mouses slowest setting, tried another mouse, same issue. Completely unusable! After spending hours upon hours searching for a solution and setting my RSI off to levels which I couldn't sleep for 2 days! I finally found the USBOverdrive app which lets me control the accelerations to something which matches Mavericks. One week later I am still suffering with pretty bad pain in my wrist!
