This is a different approach, and no guarantees, but try downloading and installing Speed Download. See if it works. Then use the bundled uninstaller that's supposed to get everything back to normal, then check again.

Probably should have mentioned that I also tried that. I know that SD is something that I had initially downloaded, but I tried the 'redownload/re-uninstall'. No dice. Gonna try the separate user account, but I'm really looking for a genuine 'fix', not just a work-around.

My old computer I was using as a NAS finally died, and I've been thinking about getting a time capsule. Just about everywhere that sells them seems to be out-of-stock. Could this be a sign of an impending refresh, or just an effect of the recent hard drive shortage? Should I just order one and wait?

That's a weird one, those are 'services' from OS X. You can go to the keyboard pref pane and under 'keyboard shortcuts' select services from the left. Check there to see if they are in german.

in English they should be 'add to iTunes as a spoken track' and 'open URL'

edit: I think you can rename them in /System/Library/Services/

Yeah, they're in German. How odd. Is there a way to just make them all English again? Like a button press?

Apparently not, the easiest way is to open the files that are in German (from /System/Library/Services/) with automator and do File->Duplicate then save them to the same location using the English name, then delete the original. Renaming doesn't work because the name is stored separately as a plist inside the file.

My german isn't too great but if you post the ones in German I should be able to tell you what they should be in English!

I can't drag a folder into VLC 2 and have it play all the videos inside anymore either. How will I watch Seinfeld on random now? :cry:

Yeah, I think for the moment the best advice is to give VLC 2 a wide berth until they unfuck it.

I hope they keep maintaining VLC 1 whilst VLC 2 gets its poo poo together. The current RC isnt release ready , despite the name.

There are a few apps on the App Store that do it as well.

Snapheal is the most popular, but I can't say I've ever used any of them besides Photoshop CS5.

There's a standalone version from the guy who originally came up with the CAIR algorithm, but the name isn't coming to mind.

Ah, never knew there were other apps specifically for that. I already have Photoshop, but it could still be good to know for the future.

Yes, Apple stopped developing the OS X implementation of Java and Oracle picked it up. But Apple still handles distribution.

Java 6 is up to update 30, but there's a Java 7 up to about update 4, IIRC. I don't know which Apple uses.

I just checked. For Windows, Java 7 update 3 is the most recent version of Java 7, with update 4 in developer testing. And Java 6 is up to update 31.

Get ClickToPlugin, if only for the added security.

e: Also, the WebKit nightlies seem pretty fast. I don't really use vanilla Safari, though.

There are so many Java updates it's ridiculous to stay up to date. I wonder if Oracle will make Java 7 a 10.8 thing.

10.8 is at least 12 months away, so probably not.

And yeah, there are way too many Java updates. I'm pretty sure they're mostly security updates too, making it doubly silly.

Integration between Apple Tv, OS X and iOS is just getting better and better. Airplay mirroring looks really cool. It's funny that Sony have been trying to do this everything connected, entertainment hub thing for over a decade and Apple seem to have done it very easily and very well.
