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

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
