@KyleCronin hmm... I think people can get VLC on their iOS devices completely legitimately. I must test this...

Kyle Cronin

Internet down here

only access on my iphone

never heard of Downcast, what can you tell me about it besides what's on their site?

and what are you referring to with VLC?

VxJasonxV

I Can't. Just saw reference to it, figured I'd pass it off to you :). You know, Instacast and all.

The iPhone Configuration Utility can apparently be used to load apps if you have the IPA. People have been using it to force Google+ onto an iPad / iPod Touch.

Kyle Cronin

does the iPhone config utility require a paid dev account?

VxJasonxV

nope

Kyle Cronin

hmm

VxJasonxV

It may be able too.

So, today I went to the apple store and looked at the Airs. I then proceeded to run geek bench on them. How (and should) I post this on Ask Different?

VxJasonxV

That's not really a question.

erm. The metrics aren't :).

The question you just asked is in fact a question.

Odinulf

Yes, I know, but I have heard people asking about the benchmarks of lion in the past.

And I'm not sure where those questions are, despite that they were only a few days ago.

Is there a wiki page I can put them in?

VxJasonxV

00:57

the only wiki page is for tags, and we don't have model specific tags. The most specific would be [macbook-air]

@VxJasonxV I did a completely clean install, and the dots were there

VxJasonxV

huh

@bckbck You didn't use the migration wizard, at all?

bckbck

@VxJasonxV Not at all.

VxJasonxV

well

blame tech crunch :)

bckbck

If I'm not wrong Apple only gives you the option to turn it off

read it from somewhere in apple.com

ah, here: apple.com/macosx/whats-new/features.html#systempreferences

VxJasonxV

So in other words, someone turned it off and forgot they did.

or accidentally did before ever really noticing it.

Kyle Cronin

it's also possible that it's only on the brand new Macs that there aren't any dots

VxJasonxV

strange idea

strange implementation

Has anyone tried Google+ ?

Nathan

14:22

@bckbck Yeah

I like it, but there are so few people there now...

bckbck

15:14

@Nathan It seems really good

but limited amount of people

Is everyone with an invite able to log in?

Because when I look at the Google+ page it shows:

with the "Keep Me Posted" button above it

The site certainly throttles sign ups. At unannounced times it let's in some people without an invite. At other times. People with recent and legitimate invites cannot join.

Auto correct on iOS is spelling for me. Forgive poor punctuation

It's fairly nice once you're in, some snazzy web app fun animations. Lots of work to curate, new terminology. Most don't know what to do wth it.

Lots of FIRST and just testing and exploration. Few are making great use of it.
