Terminal Tips: Disable annoying application crash dialogs

Don't you hate it when an application becomes unresponsive and crashes? Are you even more tired of reading annoying application crash dialog boxes? A simple Terminal hack allows you to never see these dialogs again. Just open Terminal (Applications > Utilities) and type:

defaults write com.apple.CrashReporter DialogType none

This will disable the "...unexpectedly quit" dialog that normally appears when an application crashes. If you ever want the dialogs to start appearing again, just replace "none" with "prompt".

clipper's remarks: Foreigners have been mainstay of market for this debt, but Asian investors in particular have become net sellers.

Bank of China has cut its portfolio of securities issued or guaranteed by troubled US mortgage financiers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac by a quarter since the end of June.

The sale by China’s fourth largest commercial bank, which reduced its holdings of so-called agency debt by $4.6bn, is a sign of nervousness among foreign buyers of Fannie and Freddie’s bonds and guaranteed securities.

iPhone security flaw exposes private data

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A security flaw in Apple Inc's (AAPL.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) iPhone allows unauthorized users to gain easy access to private contacts and e-mails even when the device is locked, but the company said a fix is on the way.

Popular technology blog Gizmodo and an online forum run by the Mac Rumors site showed that it took only three taps to gain access to locked iPhones, which run the latest 2.02 iPhone software.

A spokeswoman said in an e-mail that Apple was aware of the problem and was readying a software update to fix it. In the meantime, she recommended users set the iPhone's "Home" button to open up the phone's iPod music collection rather than the phone's "Favorites" menu.

NOKIA N79, N85

Nokia N79,Nokia N85

Nokia 发布了两款N系列新机，Nokia N79 和 Nokia N85，分别为 Nokia N78 和 Nokia N81 的继承者。在 iMac 10年中我们谈到了设计语言的继承演化（Evolution），Nokia 的 N系列这种共享设计语言更明显（在 N81 之后），甚至如果不加仔细辨认，很难分清是哪一款手机，对于一些新用户来说，足够让人迷惑不清，当然N系列的先遣消费者虽然不会有迷惑问题，虽然这样的设计语言共享是对于N系列品牌来说会有一个加强的增值作用，但是对每一台机子是怎样呢？这个问题一样表现在硬件配置上，所以 Nokia N79 和 Nokia N85 强调了它们的软件服务，Nokia Maps，Nokia Music Store，N-Gage，Ovi，App 等，很不错但不够惊奇，虽然 Nokia 按照自己的路子一步步向前，但是人们还是希望看到它能和 iPhone 针尖麦芒对一番。 ( 阅读全文… )

Sending Your Data To China

Did you ever bring your Mac back to Apple for service? You might be amazed at what they do with it. Thanks to Liquid Matrix for pointing this out.

The Apple Repair Terms and Conditions agreement says that they may have to send your data abroad in order to fix your computer:

It's not 100% clear what "data" is being protected here. Is it your personal data, like your name and e-mail address, which seems to be the sort of data described in the aforementioned privacy policy? Or could it also mean everything on the hard drive? What else could they send to the PRC for repair other than the data on your hard drive? The privacy policy isn't really written to address such data, but clearly there's a general spirit in it to the effect that Apple will take all reasonable measures to protect your data. Even from the People's Republic of China.

Apple v Psystar countersuit

clipper's remarks: hope Psystar win's

Does Psystar have a legit argument in Apple countersuit?

Apple’s complaint against Psystar also notes that Apple has never authorized Psystar to install, use or sell the Mac OS software on any non-Apple-labeled hardware. That’s the part that has Pedraza fighting back. As for the authorization to sell Mac clones cheaper, Psystar acknowledges that Apple makes a good operating system and Psystar wants to bring it to the masses. But, no one should have to pay “exorbitant” prices for it.

Apple’s end-user licensing agreement (EULA) is clear on prohibiting the installation of Mac OS X on a non-Apple machine. Psystar attorney Colby Springer says that amounts to “restraint of trade,” one of the allegations that he wants a court to chime in on. As part of its countersuit, Psystar is asking the court to void the licensing agreement.

When you're just starting out, you'll probably be using the desktop or web versions of Evernote. From either, you can capture entire web pages or documents with the click of your mouse, by using the Evernote Firefox extension or bookmarklet for web content or the desktop versions for Windows and Mac.

Don't want to clip a whole page? Just select the text and or images you want before clipping to Evernote. There's even a universal keyboard shortcut (Win+A in Windows, Cmd+Ctrl+V in OS X) to create a new note from your clipboard.

You can also capture and upload screenshots to Evernote using Evernote's Windows system tray application or the Mac OS X menu bar app. On a Mac, you can even create a new note from your iSight webcam, and—naturally—you can upload any photo you take with your digital camera.
