- iOS alarms broken for New Zealand users after Daylight Savings
We just started Daylight Savings Time in New Zealand yesterday. Since then, many iOS users here have experienced what's probably one of the weirdest bugs I've ever seen: our alarms are now going off an hour early. My iPhone's alarm woke me up at 5:50 in the morning today instead of 6:50, and it turns out I'm not the only one.
In the iPhone's built-in Clock app, setting a recurring alarm will cause it to trigger an hour early every time if you're running iOS 4.1, iTunes 10.0.1, and live in a Southern Hemisphere country that's just gone over to Daylight Savings Time (which, for now at least, just means New Zealand). It's also been affecting US users in Indiana since late June because of the weird time zone situation in that state. For some reason, non-recurring alarms aren't affected; so far, changing recurring alarms to non-recurring is the only thing that's fixed the problem.
Standard Time doesn't start in the US until November 7, which is right around the time that iOS 4.2 is supposed to come out. Since this bug is probably something that can only be addressed by an iOS update, and since a relatively small portion of iOS users will be affected, I won't be surprised at all if Apple sits on this bug until November and bundles the fix into iOS 4.2. Meanwhile, Australian iOS users in territories that observe DST will have something to look forward to: unless this gets fixed before October 3rd, their alarms are going to start going off an hour earlier, too.

Переслать - European Union closes Apple investigation
I think we can call this one "saved by a policy change." Earlier this month Apple changed its rules and is now allowing developers to use third-party tools for creating apps for iOS devices. In a statement released this weekend, the EU said it welcomed Apple's changed policies, and that the investigation would be closed.
Apple also loosened policies on cross-border warranty repair of computers and iOS products. Previously people who bought a product in one EU country and tried to have it fixed under warranty in another EU country encountered red tape or a refusal to fix the product, but apparently that issue's been fixed as well.
This recent change is on top of Apple settling a case with the US Department of Justice dealing with agreements between major tech firms about not poaching employees. The settlement involved other companies including Pixar, Google and Intel. Apple is clearly getting a bit more liberal in the way it runs the business. There's nothing like a little competition and litigation to get things moving.TUAWEuropean Union closes Apple investigation originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Sun, 26 Sep 2010 17:00:00 EST.

Переслать - Talkcast Tonight: Join us at 10pm ET to talk Blu-ray, new apps, and Stevemails
It's Sunday, which means it's time once again to get ourselves all in a Talkshoe chatroom, and have a lively talk about what's been up during the last week of Apple news. Tonight on the show, we'll be talking about Microsoft's stance with Apple on Blu-ray, the arrival of VLC and Google Voice on the App Store, the coming glucose meter for the iPhone, and if we have time, we'll chat a little bit about Stevemails and just what they mean. Should be fun -- tune in if you're around!
To participate on TalkShoe, you can use the browser-only client, the embedded Facebook app, or the classic TalkShoe Pro Java client; however, for maximum fun, you should call in. For the web UI, just click the "TalkShoe Web" button on our profile page at 10 pm Sunday. To call in on regular phone or VoIP lines (take advantage of your free cellphone weekend minutes if you like): dial (724) 444-7444 and enter our talkcast ID, 45077 -- during the call, you can request to talk by keying in *8.
If you've got a headset or microphone handy on your Mac or your PC, you can connect via the free Gizmo or X-Lite SIP clients or using the Talkshoe client's ShoePhone tool; basic instructions are here.
We'll kick things off at 10pm ET/ 7pm PT. See you there!

Переслать - HyperDock puts some Win7 in your OS X DockMy shocking day job revelation: I write enterprise Java software using Windows. There, my secret shame is finally out.
Now that's off my chest I have something to confess about Windows 7: Microsoft must be doing something right because I hate it considerably less than any other version of Windows. For example, it might have taken it eight years to bring the draggable reorder feature from OS X 10.0's Dock into the Windows Taskbar, but they got there in the end and I'm a happier user for it.
One of the things I quite like is Aero Peek. Suppose you are juggling three PowerPoint presentations because you are a SRS BSNS enterprise user so obviously you're not doing anything fun. You move your cursor down to the PowerPoint icon in the taskbar and three medium sized thumbnail icons pop up, each showing the current window contents of the three PowerPoint windows you have open. This visual cue makes task switching more efficient. It sounds small but it's quite a neat little time saver.
Sadly OS X doesn't have anything like this. We've previously covered using Exposé in the Application Switcher, but it's clunky. Wouldn't thumbnails in the Dock be a nice addition to OS X? I certainly think so, and it seems Christian Baumgart agrees with me because he's written free-in-beta utility HyperDock to do just that. You can see how it works in the screenshot above: in this case, I moved my mouse over to the Firefox icon, and it presented me with previews of the three browser windows I had open.
But that's not all it does -- check out some more of HyperDock's features on the next page.TUAWHyperDock puts some Win7 in your OS X Dock originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Sun, 26 Sep 2010 13:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Переслать - Mac 101: Open new tabs to reveal browsing history in Safari
Safari's Top Sites feature is nifty and all, but what I've really wanted to do is have new Safari tabs open showing me my recent browsing history. I couldn't figure out a way to do this until just now. Maybe if you're an experienced Safari user this is obvious, but I'm still a fairly recent Safari adopter.
If you look in Safari's preferences, it will show that new tabs can be set to Top Sites, Home Page, Empty Page, Same Page, or Bookmarks. No 'History' option. The good news is that you can work around this by choosing "Bookmarks" (as shown above) and then click on "History" under "Collections" at the top-left of the window.
Safari remembers what you had selected in the Bookmarks window, so whenever you open a new tab, it will open to the Bookmarks with the History selected. You could also do this by setting new tabs to open to an Empty Page and then press Command + Option + 2 (Show All History). If you find that key combination too awkward, as I do, you can reassign it in System Preferences under Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts.
Personally, I like this because I can use Command-T to open a new tab and have the history show up right away. I'd still prefer to be able to use the History view which is shown if you start with Top Sites and then click the History half of the button-tab at the top of that window, but this is the next best thing.
