Probably but that's why gatekeeper exists, apple won't verify the developer and will require the end user to allow unverified apps to be installed in order for the end consumer to install the application.

Well I have a dummy app running that uses it and that isn't in the store so I cannot see how or why they would allow not app store apps to use it. Yes it will be a fight to get it installed on ML but it does, at this time, work.

Has the Trash can icon changed in Mountain Lion? I know the Dock has different perspective/reflections, but the icon itself looks different. It also doesn't seem to get "fat" anymore when you add things into it.

Been using it on my main production main (LIVING ON THE EDGE!) since monday, havn't had a single crash. Stupid stable right now, loving it so far. As little as things have changed since Lion, my new Air that came with Lion, felt old as crap, really weird.

Hopefully someone finds a way to force airplay to work on older machines, also how to disable this nasty dock shadow.

Yeah, Apple finally included the Trash icon they've been using for their PR material. :woot:

Still can't cycle through Launchpad windows with the mouse wheel. Dunno why they haven't fixed this yet. If they want us to use it they should make navigating through it as easy as possible.

I'm using Launchpad these days and with my Magic Trackpad it really couldn't be any easier.

Nice, I knew it looked different.

I've finally switched back to the Dock on the bottom after so many years of side-docking. Thus, I had no idea the Dock even changed until DP4. Man, it looks great.

At this point, I'll probably just go ahead and install ML over my primary Lion install. DP4 has been rock solid for me and I don't foresee any major issues between now and the GM.

It's easy enough to do it in terminal

defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces 1

then just kill the finder and voila

That's for AirDrop. Might not work for AirPlay.

Also it seems hard disks are set to sleep after a set time by default now and the option to disable it has been removed from the Energy Saver prefs. To disable sleep (on battery and AC) run this from the terminal: sudo pmset -a disksleep 0

      Your other comment in another article says otherwise, namely "Microsoft veteran wants to replace every single line of C/C++ code with Rust and AI".

      Sued and... exonerated. Oh, they learned a lesson alright. They learned that anyone who uses the word "antiturst" in conjunction with "Microsoft" is an idiot, even if that person is Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson. That judge ruined the image of the US justice system. Microsoft Edge has a 5.14% market share. Also, Windows is no longer the #1 OS. None of this constitutes a monopoly. Google Chrome, however, has 70.25% share. Also, Google's Android is the #1 OS. Now that's closer to a monopoly.
