PhoneGap, the Mobile Platform Democratizer - O'Reilly Radar - 0 views

  • Yes - we have already spoken (BONDI and PhoneGap people).
  • I'd imagine that most of the apps aren't leveraging the capabilities of WebKit which might be why they are felt a bit flat. There are some great JavaScript libraries out there that run web apps smoother using WebKit than some traditional iPhone apps.
  •  
    Just need to figure out if the user just needs to get PhoneGap from the AppStore, or they have to get each PhoneGap application from the store, one by one. Distribution methods will be quite different in each case.

Bugs & Fixes: A potentially risky Finder permissions command | Mac OS X | Mac 911 | Mac... - 0 views

  • In brief, enter sudo chmod -RN ~ in Terminal, followed by starting up from an Install DVD and selecting “Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs” from the Rest Password utility.
  • you’re usually better off using the appropriate UNIX commands in Terminal
  •  
    Suppose you want to change the permissions settings of most or all the items in a given folder. Perhaps you want to modify permissions so you can access the content of files you would normally be prevented from editing. Or perhaps the permissions of your own files have somehow gotten messed up so that you can no longer copy or move them.

Spanning Tree Protocol: AppleTalk and NetInfo Issues - 0 views

  •  
    When the Spanning Tree Protocol is enabled on an Ethernet bridge or switch port to which a Macintosh computer is directly connected the computer may be unable to use AppleTalk or NetInfo services. Appletalk issues observed range from no AppleTalk services, local (to this specific network) AppleTalk services, degraded performance, and intermittent network services. If the Spanning Tree protocol is enabled on the port to which a Macintosh computer is connected packets necessary for AppleTalk address assignment and network discovery can be dropped by the switch. This causes the Macintosh to acquire invalid or incomplete network information resulting in the behavior discussed above.

How to disable the built-in iSight Camera - OS X Daily - 0 views

  •  
    Most new consumer Macs come with a built-in iSight camera which can be used for all sorts of fun from video chatting in iChat, horsing around in Photo Booth, to third party apps like Gawker. Despite these fun and harmless uses, there are some security concerns with having a built-in camera particularly in academic and institutional settings, and because of this some System Administrators have taped covers over the iSight and even removed them from the machines entirely. Thankfully, there's a much easier way to disable the built-in iSight camera, all you have to do is move a file.

Randomizing the Mac OS X Software Update Server | Krypted - 0 views

  •  
    I've had a few instances where there was no way to setup round robin DNS or a load balancer and we were looking to alternate between a bunch of software update servers.  In order to do so, I've written a quick shell script to do so.  Here it is, in pieces, so it makes sense.

Mac vs. PC: What You Don't Get for $699 - BusinessWeek - 0 views

  •  
    Now Microsoft is fighting back with its own advertising campaign. I've enjoyed some of its elements. The Seinfeld spots were weird. I was intrigued by some of the "I'm a PC" spots that aired last fall, depicting PC users engaged in a variety of jobs-teaching law, protecting endangered species, blogging for Barack Obama. The message: You can use a Windows PC and still do cool and interesting things. Not bad. Then came the adorable little girls: Kylie, age 4, and Alexa, age 7, e-mailing pictures of fish and stitching together pictures of a fort into one. Microsoft, it seemed, had finally found its advertising voice.

Troubleshoot Your Hard Drive problems - 0 views

  •  
    Although you can have one big fat hard drive as single partition, you should Partition as well, if you have a big hard drive. Partitioning is the method of dividing an area on a disk into minor portions of smaller capacities that can be recognized by the operating system. Picture this: your hard drive is a cake. It is easier to eat a cake divided into pieces than to eat it whole.
