Apple Inc.'s Mac OS X market share has passed the 8% mark for the first time, a research company reported today. In September, Apple's operating system ran on 8.2% of the computers that accessed the 40,000 sites monitored by Net Applications for clients, the company's data showed. The Mac's share of the operating system market was up over August's by nearly four-tenths of a percentage point, the biggest one-month gain since May. Apple tends to post significant increases in September, according to Net Applications. Last year, for example, Mac OS X climbed by 0.45 points that month

Every window you open in the Finder of OS X has what is called a "sidebar" attached to it. The sidebar is nothing more than a quick way to get to places you often visit. Apple has been kind enough to seed it with some common items. These default items may or may not be useful to you personally. The good news is, you are free to change the sidebar to your liking. You can even close off the sidebar and make it disappear if you are so inclined.

I've got a pretty shocking post over at the internet saying that the iPhone Dev Team have successfully jailbroke the new OS before it is released

RCDefaultApp is a free utility that CreativeTechs has started adding to our recommended Mac OS X installs. It adds a special preference pane that allows you to quickly change the default application for many common situations: * Open all your .pdf files in Acrobat instead of Preview. * Pick a different default mail client or web browser. * Control what opens when digital cameras or webcams are plugged in. * Close security holes with how certain weblinks are handled. Of course you can change these settings other ways. But RCDefaultApp makes it much easier by putting the most requested controls into one location - a new "Default Apps" option at the bottom of your Mac OS X System Preferences.

After updating to Mac OS X 10.5.7, a user may not be able to log in to a managed client workstation. On startup, or after entering the user name and password, the user may be prompted for an administrator name and password, but nothing can be entered. This issue can occur on PowerPC-based Macs if the file /etc/authorization is not updated correctly when installing the Mac OS X 10.5.7 Update.

Later this summer, Facebook will launch its app for the iPhone's OS 3.0 and rest assured it contains plenty of new additions.

This seems to be getting more and more common. Apple's OS 3.0 is apparently widely available on The Pirate Bay, so we go into commentary mode and make some observations. Avast, Apple!

This was probably to be expected, but a lot of the new features found today in Apple's OS 3.1 beta release are tailored toward the 3G S.

The news about applications never rests. At least this one is awesome. In September, with the release of iPhone OS 3.1, Augmented Reality applications are headed to the App Store.

Am I the only one who found this video creepy?

Mac OS X 10.5 requires you to enter an administrator's password to pause/resume a print queue, where no previous version of OS X has done so. This is extremely annoying in a lab setting -- if there's a paper jam or something, the queues on all the computers need to be restarted by an administrator, instead of the user just clicking Resume. I haven't seen a solution to this elsewhere, so here's what I came up with:

If you want to step away from your computer while your desktop loads (without enabling the unsafe auto-login feature), this script will begin loading OS X before you log in.

Propagator provides a GUI for pushing out files to Macs on your local network. This is useful for OS X system administrators who wish to update all of their managed client machines with a specific file, most commonly property list (.plist) files. This functionality can also be achieved using Apple Remote Desktop, but a free alternative is always worth taking a look. My two favorite aspects of Propagator are its Common Places drop down menu for quickly specifying common locations to drop files (such as long ~/Library paths), and it's Set Ownership check box for giving proper ownership of the file to the right user accounts. The option to Lock Files After Copy prevents users (in my case, students and unknowing faculty) from messing with your work, accidentally or not.
