Chrome has AdBlock Plus, but it's not very functional compared to what I hear the FireFox one is. There is extensive work being done on the relevant Chrome APIs so they'll soon be as functional, I assume. That being said, AdBlock Plus blocks just about every ad I come across so "less functional" doesn't mean "waste of time". There is no search bar in Chrome, just the omnibar which is both URL and search. The keyboard command is Cmd-L. I'm not going to sell Chrome to anyone because to each their own, but I use it and it's very snappy.

I've been using a macbook for a couple of years now as my home PC every day use thing. Nothing special just casual use. I think I'm just more in the mindset of "hey got my OS updated I wonder if there are any cool things I should try out while I'm at it" BUt like I said, I"m a casual user, day to day use, etc

I use GlimmerBocker. It's a pref pane, so it works on all browsers. The only pain about this is that you can't just type "google" in the URL bar of the browsers anymore, you have to type at least "google.com".

I've done what I can, but I'm so lost, I don't know where else to get an answer. New to Macs, OSX is Snow Leopard. Any browser I use, I have the same problem: New tabs open up, usually something like https://www.google-analytics.com which then redirects to mevio or wordslife or some poo poo. When searching on Google, hovering over a link (ex en.wikipedia.org) shows, at the bottom of Chrome, that it's not going to that path, but some line of jargon/redirect. I feel it's a trojan, but everything I've done doesn't help. And by "done", I mean "cleared DNS and ran that trojan finder App". I kind of have no idea what's going on; help please?

Let's say I have 5 email accounts set up in Mail, but I only want 1 or 2 of them to count for the new mail notification thing in the dock. Any way to do this? Or maybe have one account show up as another colour or something?

From some Googling, it looks like you may be one of the lucky few who have a trojan on your system, specifically Trojan.OSX.DNSChanger.B. What "trojan finder app" did you run? Was it legit? You can try downloading some removal software like http://www.iantivirus.com (site is run by pctools/symantec) or the DNSChanger removal tool. Let me know if that finds anything, I'm kinda curious to what bug you have.

For those of you who use multiple browsers over the course of a day: Installing adblock on every browser can be a huge pain in the rear end, especially since they vary in functionality and coverage. I use Privoxy. It's a content-stripping proxy server. It works well, sits in the background and has a nice interface for configuring it -- right in your browser! The nice thing about it is that it's not my browser that has to inject JS into every page load, then strip out ads based on some regex. Plus you can do neat proxy-like things, like returning specific headers, eating cookies, etc. I personally use the one from Homebrew, but the one on their homepage has a nice little System Preference pane and some commands to help start/stop/restart it without having to get your hands dirty in the terminal.

McFunkerson posted:If you guys head on over to the AppleTV Thread I've posted a bunch of promo codes for Magic Media Marker. (Converting/Metadata tagging videos for iTunes/iDevices) I'm trying the newest update now (haven't had a chance to try it for a little while) but with the new initial launch screen and options for encoding tags into the video file it looks pretty much perfect to me. There's only one silly minor thing I might suggest - maybe put a light colored border around the icon? I use List view on my Applications folder in the dock and the icon doesn't really stand out much against the background. (This is an incredibly minor quibble and in no way has anything to do with how the app works, which is fantastic.)

Looks like 10.6.8 might not be the end for Snow Leopard. The update will presumably bring some level of iCloud support to Snow Leopard, though likely not full support for the service, based on their statement of 'some features' requiring Lion.

I got my MBP about a month ago with 10.6.7 and bootcamp assistant 3.0.4. I just received my copy of Windows 7 Pro from amazon. Thing is I dont have any internet for personal computers. Am I going to have any issues creating the partition and installing Windows without being able to connect to the web?

Nope, Snow Leopard has all of the drivers on the system restore CD. You won't have the latest drivers or updates, but you should be able to install just fine without an Internet connection. Hopefully your Windows 7 disc is at least SP1. I imagine it would be.

For anyone curious: I upgraded to Lion and full screen RDP still works fine. Well as fine as it ever did. The Microsoft RDP client still hangs on occasion and requires me to kill the process but performs better than CoRD while CoRD also crashes but at least does so more gracefully.

Attention Developers: iTunes 6.1 beta is in the dev portal with iTunes Match. Looks like we'll have to go ahead and sign up for the $24.95/12 months to use it, but developers will get an extra 3 months for their efforts.

I'd love to be able to have it open Boxee instead. I've not used Boxee, but with Plex there is a preference that allows you to capture the IR remote. If Boxee doesn't have that option I think there are some third party apps that can do that sort of thing, but I have no experience with them so I can't really address that.

Question for the Mac people, anyone try the "noatime" trick? It basically prevents writing out the last access time (so it doesn't write when it's just reading), but in the Linux world where this seemed to originate there doesn't seem to be many things that actually depend on that. I'm wondering if anything in OS X depends on it or if it just does its own thing with extended attributes or some other trick.pipebomb posted:Sucks you have to have a library under 25000 songs.

Boxee works with the remote once it's open. The problem is I want to be able to start it up with the remote too. Hiting menu just opens the default mac crap.

Two questions: does anyone know if Omni Group's software goes on sale ever? I was looking at OmniPlan, but holy poo poo, $200. Second question: anyone else having an issue in Lion where your bluetooth mouse isn't recognized on startup? When that account screen shows up, I have to use a USB mouse to click the account and then I can use my bluetooth mouse after I log in.

I wish Active Directory binding worked correctly in Lion. I've been having a lot of trouble setting it up on a number of machines; a bunch connected after I found some workarounds, but now I have at least a couple which are giving me trouble and won't connect to the authentication server.

What is the performance hit people have noticed while using FileVault? I like the idea of using it, since I have a laptop and do occasionally take it places (notably on vacation), but it's an early 2009 white macbook so we're not talking about the most powerful machine to deal with taking a performance hit. Lion seems to be running fine and dandy right now, maybe even faster than Leopard did before (I did get a 7200 RPM drive to replace the original drive at the same time I upgraded though, so hard to tell what affects the possible speed increase the most).

All this encryption talk has got me thinking.... My current process is to back up my Lion iMac and all external drives to both Time Machine and CrashPlan. As far as I can tell, my CrashPlan data is encrypted, but my iMac and Time Machine are not. I'm pretty sure I can use FileVault to do this. Am I correct? Are there certain steps I should follow? Will everything continue to function as is? I want to make sure I retain my incremental backups, every hour, etc. Thanks for the help!

Chrome under OSX is acting a bit strange lately. Some pages take a while to load. For instances, image-heavy pages on SA are taking a lot longer than they did to load the images. Also on youtube, video thumbnails just aren't loading. I've tried the same pages in Safari and it works fine. Googling suggests Adblock Pro might cause this kind of thing, but disabling it made no difference. Any ideas? edit: used the page inspector to track down the problem. The 'smooth gestures' extension I had installed has recently updated and started injected a URL when the page renders. Some are calling it tantamount to spyware. I dunno how malicious it was intended to be, but it was slowing everything down. Mystery solved. Pissflaps fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Aug 30, 2011 |

I don't suppose anyone knows of a version of MacFUSE that works with Lion? I posted in this thread shortly after Lion came out and found out that sshfs wasn't working because MacFUSE didn't work with it. I got told of a link to a newer version, but that still doesn't work fully, I can see the files but can't upload. I don't know if this is because of MacFUSE or sshfs. Can anyone help at all?
