iPhone CVS, do you use it?

For a long time I've advised clients that code management and version control tools are a prerequisites to any SDLC or SCM methodology implementation. With the popularity of iPhone apps continuing to grow in both the consumer and commercial market I am wondering what flavor are you using?

Boot Snow Leopard into 64Bit Mode

The default mode for the new Snow Leopard install is 32bit mode.

Want to change that and upgrade to 64bit.

Simply change one line in the  /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist file and your Macintosh will boot into 64bit mode.  With most recent Mac's you'll see a significant performance improvement , of course the more memory you have the better and results may vary.  You can always switch back using this method

GPGMAIL for Snow Leopard-Fix (Beta)

GPGMail
The wildly popular open source GPGMail v1.2.0 plugin for OSX Mail.app does not work in Snow Leopard. This is something that was found in the later beta's and remain's a major problem in the Power User community. At issue is the use of an undocumented API in the mail bundle that is no-longer supported in the new v4 of Mail. A developer has posted an interim fix for the community which can be downloaded here. Simply unzip this file and copy it to the /Library/Mail/Bundles folder and re-start Mail and your back in business.

Flash CS5 on the Rocks Please..

Chances are this one will be on ice soon as Apple doesn't appear to have been involved with usurping it's own market monopoly on iPhone development SDK's

http://www.maclife.com/article/iphone/flash_cs5_will_let_you_create_native_iphone_apps

Sort of makes you wonder what could be possible outside the AppStore
