Not their video content, I don't think. My main exposure to BuzzFeed is their various YouTube channels. Their video "personalities" have pretty big followings.

That does not seem to be available on Yosemite 10.10.5. But then again, I use a Hackintosh. However, TFA for Apple Accounts have been available for some time. I think I turned mine on a few months ago.

Right, but the Finder does have Copy and Paste. Cmd-C and Cmd-V have worked in the Finder since the very first Mac. It's even in the edit menu. I suppose they expect you to click and drag to move a file, rather than the slightly unintu

Yup. Nested labels like "top/med/bot" get flattened to "top-med-bot" for search, e.g. in:top-med-bot keyword

Yup. I used it for a few years. It also had a Tk-based GUI. Every email message is a single file. "Folders" are directories. So you can use your usual text-processing commandline stuff: grep, sed, awk, etc. http://rand-

Speak for yourself. I used an old G4 PowerBook for grad school, and it travelled over 100,000 air miles, and into the various labs where I had to work, and also to far-off Asian countries for holiday. Plus, I didn't have to buy a devel
