Yes, the exploit works (or worked, now that the patch is out) against any passwordless system account. You won’t get the same feedback as it won’t unlock the prefpane, but they will have the password set, allowing you to change the shell an

And it does. Copying any app bundle to an indexed disk, like your boot drive, will cause it to get indexed immediately. There are the occasional bugs though, and there’s also aggressive caching.

A bug kept it from indexing the app when you first installed it. Forcing a re-index of /Applications would have fixed it, likewise duplicating the app and deleting the original. When you registered the app I assume it modified itself,

While that sounds user friendly and genuinely useful, to me it's acceptable collateral damage in order to stop the rampant abuse by ad networks. As a user I'm also not sure it's a huge loss, since at least the browsers I use

Sure, there are modems and serial ports, ranging from 300 to 115200 bps, but since 2002 there are 10 Mb Ethernet cards too. I wrote a TCP/IP stack for it: http://oliverschmidt.github.io/ip65/

NCSA httpd introduced the Common Gateway Interface which allows you to execute any binary, and whatever it puts on stdout is sent as the reply. Back then it was typically a Perl script or a compiled C binary. https://en.m.wikiped

My experience is mainly from 8-bit CPUs, but unless you can afford one IRQ per bit, won't you just be busy waiting at 320 MHz instead? Performance tends to be less of a problem than the fact that you can't do anything else at the

Project Binky is pretty much the opposite of what the GP asks for though, they're clearly experts and it's taken much more than 12 hours :) But Binky is hands down my favorite thing on YouTube, though Clickspring would have to com

It's supposed to load to 100% (zing!) Seriously though, works fine in FF here, and shows a beautifully rendered loop of the earth.

Well you'd have to start with an original floppy or cassette, wouldn't you? Some still enjoy cracking on the real hardware, but most make a low level floppy or tape image and work from that. I've only cracked relatively simpl

I also switched from ABP to UBO, and I also feel that it does a better job out of the box and uses fewer resources, but it's a marked downturn in usability. Quickly blocking an element like an annoying gif is a breeze in ABP (with Elem

Isn't this what entitlements do? I honestly have no idea how they work - perhaps blog material? :)

It looks good, but the price is pretty baffling. I can run VLC and plex for free on my iOS devices, StreamToMe is $3, Air Video HD is $5. Is Beamer that much better?

Author of AutoDMG here, and since imaging is my day job I was happy to see that the article starts with a solid introduction to deploying OS X. However I'd do a few things differently: * It's best to build the image using a full i

There are a few exceptions but generally you can stay one or two versions behind. While Apple annoyingly don't state how long they support OS releases, they currently ship security patches for 10.8 and 10.9. The last patch for Lion was

Don't be alarmist, worst case a cleaning tool would have to be run from recovery mode, but nuke and pave is usually the recommended cause of action if you get a infected with a rootkit. SIP holes will be found, and Apple will patch the

I think you have that backwards. You, as the person with physical access, is in full control as SIP can be controlled from recovery mode. Processes running as root are no longer trusted to have full access to the system. This is definitely
