To be honest, if you installed Final Cut, or CS6... why would you unistall it? I don't recall uninstalling a program in a long time, since the days when I had to remove things due to lack of hard drive space, or because they were crappy Windows freewareI used once.

I'm not saying they shouldn't make it better, I'm just saying it's a bit of an edge case these days.

Maybe because there's an issue of some sort?

Maybe because I'm updating to a newer version from the App Store which are installed differently?

Maybe because I don't use the apps and related plugins/extensions anymore?

Maybe because I own a MacBook Air with limited storage space?

Umm are software updates for the OS now done through the App Store UI?

As far as I can see yes, and I hate it.

So my whole networking issues were sorted out by a power outage. Wish I was kidding. Even though I manually powered down my NAS device, I guess every single device in my house had to be restarted for Mountain Lion to see anything on my network again.

Glad it finally was fixed, but that just does not seem, well, right.

Yeah. Can't stand using it.

Really? It seems faster at checking for updates than the old Software Update, and it's nice not having the Software Update app open and start bouncing around when there are updates available.

If that were the case the router probably didn't see it either lol

No it did, I could connect to my NAS device the entire time by manually entering the IP address, but it was just not showing up as Shared on my Macbook, even when I manually connected. Also the entire time my Windows 7 machine had it listed as a networked device like it always would. It was definitely a Mountain Lion issue.

Sweet, Just waiting for Spotify to support this now!

Edit: Also incase anyone wasn't aware Hiss also can put Growl notifications to Notification Centre, I personally don't like it as it still shows Growl as the application (http://collect3.com.au/hiss/)

Oh yeah, me too. It's just that the App Store performs so slowly. It's like visiting a website. :/

I just go to the Updates tab directly by using the "Software Update..." item in the Apple menu. I never hit the slow Featured page.

I'm really hoping Apple will do something cool with iTunes 11.

The biggest thing I want is for them to make it have a smaller footprint. If that means splitting the functionality up into separate apps, I'm okay with that.

If they're trying to merge portions of OS X with iOS, then that would be the way to go.

Seriously, they need a media organizer / store front in one app, and a player like VLC in another.

Also I wouldn't mind if I never saw the word "Ping" ever again.

I made a Terminal theme that closely matches OS X Lion / OS X Mountain Lion's Quick Look window. Nothing special, but I thought I'd share it with you guys. Import the profile by going to Preferences > Settings > In the lower left of the window you'll see a gear symbol, press it > Select "Import..." and select the Pro '12 theme.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
