I know it’s not necessarily news anymore, but I just got around to installing it, because I don’t check for updates very often (I don’t use my mac all day, like I used to).
You’ll find the update is downloadable from Apple’s Web site, or from your Software Updater.
Here’s what’s going down in this latest release:
The OS X Lion v10.7.3 Update includes Safari 5.1.3 and fixes that:
Add Catalan, Croatian, Greek, Hebrew, Romanian, Slovak, Thai, and Ukrainian language support
Address issues when using smart cards to log into OS X
Address compatibility issues with Microsoft Windows file sharing
Address an issue printing Microsoft Word documents that use markup
Address a graphics performance issue after sleep on some earlier iMacs that use ATI graphics
Resolve a Wi-Fi connection issue when waking from sleep
Address an issue that may prevent Safari from opening before joining a wireless network
Fix a potential issue authenticating to an SMB DFS share
Using regular text-based smilies is great and all but if you have an iOS device, it seems a bit pre-2007. If you have an iOS device that allows you to use iMessage, you, too can get these high-quality emoticons in your messages.
If you’re one of those people that want to prove you’re smarter than everyone without being a douche, the “with Friends” series of games from Zynga might be what you’re looking for.
This popular series of games include a varation of Scrabble, the hangman-style game that you see on the right, as well as chess and others.
Passive douchery is possible with these games. They can be had on the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and Android-powered devices.
Home automation technology is transforming ordinary homes into automate homes that are capable of controlling almost all the equipments through a centralized control unit. Modern smart home technology is the key to implement the automation systems effectively. Increasing demand for automation systems has also paved way for the growth of many home automation firms that are capable of carrying out the entire automation process according to the expectation and budget of the homeowners.

Is it improper to code for Windows on a Mac? Maybe so, but I like it. I’m sure it makes me an odd one given that the typical Mac user doesn’t want anything to do with Windows. Words of Advice: Don’t go to themacuser.org. Seriously. Don’t. Why do I say that? Because I wanted some infos. I googled “typical mac user” and it was the fourth listing… I’m losing my mind. So while trying to find some juicy crap on Mac users (and ways to validate their stereotypes), I come across this page. I’m laughing at this guy’s rage. I am, really. He or she seems to be ranting about the stereotypical mac user, of which there are plenty. I wonder if he or she knows not all Mac users are like that? Read the rest of this entry »
For those who are familiar with VisualBasic and C#, VisualStudio is probably at “back-of-hand” status. If you’re new to Visual programming, either VB or Visual C#, LightSwitch might be what you’re looking for to get started. With a very similar UI and enough hand-holding to get the job done without hitting up the Internet. I’m not a total newb when it comes to programming (I have some background in PHP/MySQL) so I can generally get the idea when I look at code, regardless of the language. Programming for an Operating System, however, is new territory for me. Here’s how I fared.
I can’t count how many times I’ve been looked at weird because I like my toilet paper to hang out over the roll. I also can’t count how many times I’ve run into toilet paper rationing issues because it tears prematurely thanks to under-roll installations.
Don’t get me started on poor TP roll-holder placement. If I wanted it to roll into the toilet on it’s own accord because it’s so far behind me, I would clearly make it known.
For the six people that probably read this, I feel I need to clarify what made me think of this in the first place. Because I do no real work and have proclaimed my self the master slacker, I stumbled across this infographic. I found myself agreeing with every statement.
So to summarize, that wonderful roll of Charmin, AngelSoft, Cottonelle, or whatever crappy-house-brand-that-feels-like-sandpaper-and-dead-souls you buy may end up turning you into Hans Gruber. We don’t want any problems when you drop your own smelly version of the Nakatomi building into the bowl.
Before I explain why I enjoy talking to myself so incredibly much, let me give you a bit of back story behind why I decided to start discussing life with my other self.
At it stands right now, I spend roughly two to two and a half hours on the road each day. There is only one reason for this: I live to dang far away from where I work. Some would ask why I chose to work for my employer who is seemingly on the other side of the world? Well because my employer basically runs the Internet, that’s why. For those that don’t know, I work for Google, Inc. and that is all I will say about that. While my job does not entail any life or death situations, I find that different various events and other instances that come my way deserve discussion. Unfortunately, there is only one person that understands them like I do: me. Read the rest of this entry »
