Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

Question - I am looking for a .resx file editor for Macs.

One of my company offices need to translate one of our sites. Sadly they are all halfway across the world, low on tech skills, all running Macs, and with no IT support. That means that the standard approach of 1)direct editing XML or 2)running Bootcamp are really not really viable options.

Anyone know of any viable alternatives? Ta muchly.

this online service allows you to load and edit translation/resource files online and save them under different formats.

note I just googled it, there's no recommendation from me for it. i've never used it.

Thanks Hatbeard. My Google-fu didn't even run across that.

Who wants a 21.5" LED 2012 Q1 iMac box!
£20 posted

£20.00 for an empty box?

Serious?

You'd easy make the money back if you were selling one, and then some.

Dont they go for hundreds on eBay?

Thousands infact, more than if you just went into curry's and bought one with one of them metal things inside them.

Serious, they do actually go for actual money on ebay, I've technically sold it twice on there, but both times waste of space kids who 'thought it was an iMac for £20', ebay is still too far in favour of buyer IMO.
Anyway, yeah its here, and someone somewhere, will want it, if just for making a castle out of.

Anyone know how to capture a bit of video from an online source?
Spotted myself in Yorkshire TV's Le Tour coverage...

you might be able to do it with jing, install it, set the capture area to be the video player part of the screen and hit record

Snapz Pro X is good

Mountain Lion is up on the app store...

Anyone else grabbing it? (I've just got to wait for my redeem code to come through!)

I always give it a few weeks to let a few updates come out

wont pay but will still upgrade if you know what i mean :P

just registered for the developer program as I'm working on an ipad/iphone app.

so cool seeing something you've built running on your phone.

^ such a good feeling isn't it. + everything looks sick on retina display

^ not true.

most things look horrible on a retina mbp.

voucher for ML turned up. downloading now. thanks work internet.

Hmm... apart from notifications, which I could probably do without, it just seems exactly the same.

Maybe that's why apple aren't charging that much for it 'cos there aren't too many. Feels a bit snappier to me compared to Lion, and that's installing it over the top, might do a clean install when i get a chance.

^ They don't charge for it cause they don't need to profit on it. It's also worth loads for them to have everyone on the latest os as it'll allow to cut support earlier

Currently chewing my way through this to help decide whether to upgrade from Snow Leopard or not.

Had to use Lion for about 5 minutes yesterday and absolutely hated it :|

If you didn't like Lion, you won't like snow lion much.

Dictation works well, but I've no use for it.

Having read that review, it looks like they've addressed a lot of the issues I had, mostly around versioning etc.

Gonna wait till after a couple of updates to avoid the inevitable 10.N.0 bugs, but will most likely go for it. Been thinking of doing an optibay type thing with an SSD, so this seems as good an excuse as any to do a heap of upgrading!

Installed ML last night, all went well, nothing broke.
Not sure how I feel about spotlight losing its position to notifications in the menu bar, not that I ever clicked on it to use it, just hit command space.

installed ml

cant seem to send imessages from my mac to peoples phones as it claims to be able to....

^ me neither.
