Really annoying really. They have a 1 year warranty, but it is 1 year and 2 weeks out and it is dead! What a pain. Have contacted FitBit to see what they say, but am not hopefully since they are so specific on their warranty! It just won't take a charge anymore!
SideEffects has been updated to version 1.9 and restores color icons to the finder..This was a huge mistake of Apple to remove a few versions of the OS ago, and I used SIMBL to bring it back for a while, but it was not entirely stable, so I am glad to have it back and working. Why should you not see your own custom drive icons and have an easier time seeing locations in the sidebar?
Electronista has the news on the new Magma Expansion Chassis. One with up to 8 2.5 Inch SSD, SAS or SATA hard drives, and one that can hold a Mac Mini and 3 PCI slots. From $1399-$1899.
CNET has an article on preventing App Nap in Mavericks. Easier than you would think, since it is an option in info now!
Rev Up Transmedia has an excellent article and a must read for editors moving to Premiere Pro on how an individual audio track can be both Stereo (or even 5.1) as well as mono at the same time!I have to admit this blew my mind when I saw it in Premiere. I had already been annoyed by Stereo or mono tracks in AVID, and having Mono and Stereo clips in the same track just seemed insane, but this article does a pretty good of explaining it and how you can avoid it if you would like as well.
Edit Geek has a good article on building your own Hackintosh MacPro to try and match the new MacPro's apple will be releasing in December.Still not the serious expansion I would want if I went through building a Mac Pro tower. For me it would have to be huge and I would consider Dual Xeons, though since all the new MacPro's are not dual processor, maybe an i7 would be enough. Dual 6 Cores would be great though, as I could never afford a 12 core.
You can get full NTFS support for OS X Mavericks for $19.95 from Paragon Software Group.
MacNN has heard that the MacPro may in fact have upgradeable video cards. The Rub is that it is a proprietary connector and shape needed, so the card would have to be specifically designed for it, and it is unlikely that say NVIDIA would do that.
TUAW has the news on the new Promise Technology raid solutions for Thunderbolt 2. And they will be available through the Apple Store. The 20 Gbps speeds will rock for video.I just wish they had Thunderbolt PCI Cards instead of having to have it on a motherboard!
Mac Performance Guide has a look at the new MacPro and some of the issues power users will face.
