After a long wait, one of my favorite utilities is now Snow Leopard Compatible.
Enter iStumbler 0.9.9 on February 16th, 2010.
iStumbler is the leading wireless discovery tool for Mac OS X, providing plugins for finding AirPort networks, Bluetooth devices, Bonjour services and Location information with your Mac.
Release 99 includes a number of bug fixes and enhancements for Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
I really missed this app.
iStumbler is also available for Mac OS X Leopard (10.5), Tiger (10.4), Panther (10.3) and Jaguar (10.2).
When the Apple Store went down for updates, many were hoping hor the 32-core MacBook Pro to magically appear on Tuesday morning. Well, we all have to wait.
Introducing Aperture 3 (2010.02.09)
Apple today introduced Aperture 3, the next major release of its powerful photo editing and management software. Aperture 3 offers more than 200 new features including Faces, Places, and Brushes. A 30-day trial is now available for download.
I just downloaded the trial, and will play around with it today.
Aperture 3 requires Intel-based Macs (sorry, PowerPC Macs) running minimum of Mac OS X 10.5.11 or Mac OS X 10.6.2.
As we have previously discovered, Flash 10.1 beta is not affected by the crash-inducing bug. Matthew Dempsky has been pressing this issue for quite a while. The news hits front page of Hacker News earlier this week and garnered more attentions.
Adobe has now officially responded to this bug. The fix will beincluded in Flash 10.1 that will be released sometimes in 2010. Considering the nature of this bug, Adobe should have included the fix sooner in the 10.0.x release.
I have been using ClickToFlash for a while to weed out those pesky Flash-based ads. In addition to that I have not been missing Flash on the iPhone and iPod touch at all. In a way I’m glad that the iPad won’t be supporting Flash plugin.
Seriously, I don’t really depend on Flash when surfing the web.
Note to Darren Carter, you need to dump the stupid Flash-based site of yours. Get a real webmaster!

If you have even an up-to-date Flash plugin installed, it most likely will crash your browsers. It seems that this bug has been fixed in Flash 10.1 beta.
I have ClickToFlash installed, so I could actually read what this page says without having Safari crashed.
No wonder Steve Jobs won’t allow Flash on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
The news of possible end to VLC development for Mac OS X caused quite a stir today. Based the Forums post, at this point there are no active VLC developers for Mac OS X.
VLC is a multimedia player with supports for many audio and video format. It is also a required component for Handbrake feature to work.
Developers who can donate their time are desperately needed to keep this project going.
Dragon Dictation app has just been updated to address privacy issues. Contact name upload is now made optional. The app should be available for download soon.
UPDATE: The app is finally available for download.
