I'm quite happy to send another $30 to the project, because it is by far the best text editor I have ever used. I can't imagine going back.

Hm, I asked earlier if there was an extension or something that allowed Chrome to auto-reload whenever you swipe back a page...now Safari's stopped doing it. Is anyone else experiencing this? Didn't see any update happen over the weekend, other than on iOS, that is. I've rebooted the mbp and reset Safari as well to no avail.

My friend was using her laptop with an apple tv device. She said for a moment her tv changed to someone's fb page, the person noticed and she said she noticed it was connected to her tv before they disconnected. Should she be concerned? She connects it via ethernet she says. I know nothing about apples so I figured this was a place to ask.

In order for someone to push something to her Apple TV they would have to be on her network, wired or wireless. If her network has a password, I would suggest changing it.

She is on a school network and does not want to share her box with anyone. Can she put a password on the device itself or something similar? Maybe restrict usage via MAC address?

I run AirServer on my MacBook Air while I'm on the campus Wi-Fi and it's really entertaining to see what people send to it. Typically it's just music or something from a phone/tablet (I have to keep the volume low or off), but every once in a while someone's dumb enough to mirror their desktop on my machine.

When I've been to some hotels I'm paranoid about their public networks cause it's basically just giant LANs sometimes (which is why I usually bring my old Airport Express to set up my own network). I've seen many available AirPlay targets but I've never taken advantage of that...maybe I should bring my AppleTV and see what pops up next time

Is there any way to enable a way to create a new text file on the right click menu, similar to how Windows does it? I've been a Mac user for six years and I still miss Right-click > New > Text Document.

What are the "Home" and "End" key equivalents in Mountain Lion? I use them almost all the time when typing, and all they seem to do in OSX is scroll to the top/bottom of a window, respectively.

japtor posted:Search around for "OS X Finder new text file", I think there's some contextual menu plugins for it, or Automator actions (which can go into the contextual menu as well). If you can't find something that works I can try making one later when I'm back at my Mac. Yeah, Apple (window symbol, in my case) + left/right cursor is exactly what I want. Another question: Does OSX have its own antivirus software? Is there a recommended one if not? I use MSE on Windows, but I'm guessing it won't work on a Mac...

If you really insist on having something (and the builtin protection is quite good now, even if its not a full system antivirus scanner as such), I'd suggest ClamXav http://www.clamxav.com. Simple, free, open source no-frills virus scanner. If your computer is anything like mine it will probably find shitloads of Windows viruses in your mail folders, and pretty much nothing else, so at least I know it's working somewhat. Should this be in the OP?

The main attack vectors that you've had to worry about recently have mostly been Flash and Java. I just use Chrome for Flash, but if you have to have it installed I guess leave auto update on (or check manual updates regularly if your paranoid about Adobe loving up their own updates). For Java Apple recently disabled it remotely after another exploit iirc, until it got updated. There's also random Trojans occasionally, Apple seems to have been pretty on the ball with those, but in case they don't you should be fine if you practice regular safe browsing habits (i.e. don't trust/install random possibly shady crap)

Can someone tell me the steps in properly deleting a Windows partition and combining it back with the OSX partition? I've googled around and most of the guides seem outdated or unclear. I just want to get rid of my Windows 8 test and fill my entire HD with OSX goodness.

Maybe, but nobody reads it. It should also have a side note that says "You don't need to worry about this unless you use a fileshare with Windows users that don't have any antivirus and want to scan for viruses for them because you're a nice guy"

What happens if you hibernate a boot camp partition through VMware Fusion and then physically boot to it? Does it just invalidate the sleeping state and treat it as an unclean shutdown?

Does anybody use Hazel? I'd love to hear some opinions of it. I like the idea of having my files organize themselves, but I can't imagine it's a good use of my time micro-managing tons of little folder filter rules to make it happen.

I like the idea of having my files organize themselves, but I can't imagine it's a good use of my time micro-managing tons of little folder filter rules to make it happen. I use Hazel, but not in an involved way. I really only have it monitoring my Downloads folder, with a few rules to sort images, movies, and archives to named folders with color labels so I know what I have and haven't looked at, and a rule to dump torrent files to a folder that my seedbox monitors. It also checks for duplicate filenames and deletes my trash after a couple of days. There may be a rule or two I add for something specific I'm doing, but I've been in the settings of the program perhaps a handful of times since I got it. With that said, I got Hazel as part of a bundle years ago, and am using the old version. There may be new, magical things it does, but it keeps my folders generally clutter-free, and that's good enough for me.

Well, this is certainly something: http://www.macrumors.com/2013/02/04/odd-mountain-lion-crashing-bug-brings-down-nearly-any-app/ quote:The initial bug report stated that typing 'File:///' (without the quotes) into almost any app causes the app to crash. Here's hoping this is fixed soon.
