You can't right click->rename which is what I usually do if I have no terminal open. I think the default way in OS X is just click on the file and wait a couple of seconds which wasn't super intuitive for me (but is also standard on Windows I think).
iTerm2 is an improvement already.
Today was the first time I tried to type a bunch of @ symbols...closed the program about 5 times before my brain finally settled in on the fact that alt gr location+Q is quit stuff in OS X and the at is located at the L now.
But I actually saw the most tilting thing so far...free upgrade to 10.10 nice that nice but...there were a bunch of programs (iPhoto etc.) that I couldn't update because my coworker had set up my laptop a couple of days before I started working there and aparently the free stuff that comes with OS X (iPhoto, Keynote whathaveu) are now linked to her apple ID and there is no way of changing that and I can't update them without her key.
lol just lol at the entire idea of that. I mean how am I supposed to sell a laptop, sell some program I bought? What happens to company laptops that are locked into the IDs of people that don't work there anymore? My mind was pretty much blown at the idiocy of that system.
[I uninstalled all the offending programs asap, I now have the option of buying them for 5-20ish Euros a piece...GTFO I'll use Libre Office plskthx]
tl;dr: OS X is a heap of proprietary lol-ecosystem crap and highly unintuitive. I finally remember why I tossed OS X off my powerbook back in the day. I kept hearing how great apple stuff is these days and figured I was just an oddball installing OpenBSD on it...but no I actually had my reasons it seems.

All this aside (and it should be noted that I'm slowly getting more productive just hate the entire idea of this bastard OS) I finally managed to write a program that can go back all 7 days that are allowed and grab all tweets for a search key (yay cursors). After playing with that I'll use the streaming API in the future. already read a paper today that compared firehose to sample 1%...dunno how long it'll take because it's 180 API-calls (a 100 pages) then sleep for 15 minutes. Could be upped to 450 with App-Auth but I didn't feel like doing that before I left.
tl;dr: 1% sample sucks quite a bit and is not representative at all with one noteable exception: if you geolocate they correlate like mad. Thankfully that'll very likely be my use case so no firehose needed (I'll try to confirm this from some other sources)
Edit: What#s the name of this editor people love that used to be (or still is) OS X only? Was it Sublime Text? I might get my employer to buy that just to lessen my rage a bit (well I also got the entire Adobe suite including Photoshop and whatnot which I'll likely never use and I'm supposed to get some 500 Euro prototyping/wireframe tool that might be cool) :P
