I’ve been dealing with an annoying glitch in OSX 10.8.2. For some reason, ‘show in finder’ breaks down… on its own.
The workaround is…
sudo killall -KILL appleeventsd
Let’s just hope a real fix shows up, sooner rather than later.

Adding .NFO preview support to OSX
This is a nice thing… you just need to do the following:
$ cd ~/Library
$ git clone git://github.com/delynn/QuickLook.git
$ git clone git://github.com/delynn/QuickLook.git
Fixing “iTunes was unable to load dataclass” Error
I’ve been dealing with the “iTunes was unable to load dataclass” for several hours.
I’ve uninstalled iTunes, Xcode, deleted the Mobile Device Support… reinstalled everything, booted the system, and nothing seemed to work.
After searching for quite some time, i’ve found this post. Long short story, if you delete this framework:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework
…and right afterwards you relaunch Xcode (which will, as a result, reinstall such framework)… you should be able to get rid of this… annoooooooooying problem.
UITableView Pull to Refresh
I know, i know. Apple’s iOS 6 introduces a new component (which is already available in the sdk)… that allows you to refresh a table whenever the user pulls it.
However… not everyone is targetting iOS 6 +… at least not yet. So, i’d like to share a link with you. Sam Vermette, a fellow with a couple public github repositories, did an excellent job writing an UIScrollView extension. It’s super easy to setup… clean, and most of all, self contained.
It’s called, simply, SVPullToRefresh. So… Thank you Sam!
Unlock Hidden Wallpapers in MountainLion
Long time no see!. It must been a month, at least, since my last post. I’ve come across this article… and thought it would be a good idea to store this somewhere, so i don’t loose track.
It’s simple. Just open this folder:
[code]/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.Framework/Versions/A/Resources/Default Collections/[/code]
You’ll find about 147 MB of high definition wallpapers, that are already bundled in your Mac, and nobody told you. They’re retina-sized (3200×3000), so if you’re using a Macbook Pro with Retina Display.. it will definitely look awesome.
