Breaking: Instagram Exodus!!! [UPDATE] [UPDATE] [UPDATE] [UPDATE]
Here’s what I saw, reading the tech news this morning:
BREAKING: Instagram lost tens of millions of users due to the TOS backlash!!!
Update: Actually, it wasn’t very many.
Update 2: Actually, any loses had nothing to do with the TOS fiasco.
Update 3: Actually, the data is fundamentally flawed.
Update 4: Actually, Instagram has gained users since the situation.
Update 5: Fuck. Whatever. This still totally matters. Reasons.
Another sterling day for the tech press.
Mountain Lion boot hangs for up to 30-35 minutes on "FIPS USER SPACE POST SUCCESS!" ... why?
Started happening suddenly? After N app install or hardware change?
You could try plugging in a USB disk, installing ML to that to see if it works. That would emulate hardware issues
Solved: Windows 7 hangs on black screen with cursor for ages after login
Just had this corker on a Vaio notebook running Windows 7 ultimate. Machine starts up nice and fast (SSD) and after logging in takes over a minute for the desktop to load. The hard drive light flickers occasionally and *eventually* it does load up, it just takes AGES.
Turned out to be nothing more than about some mapped drives to network shares that don’t exist anymore (IP changes) - once I deleted these, everything was fine and the desktop came up almost instantly on a reboot.
Yay!
Nexus 7 thoughts
I love the size, and weight and how it feels in the hand.
Remote installation in the play store is great, intents are very useful but still need work in the settings for finer control per application.
Jelly Bean is smoother than previous versions but needs more butter in places.
If the size and weight of this thing is anything to go by, a 7 inch iPad will be amazing.
iTunes slow to startup in Lion / Mountain Lion - Solved
Last couple of days iTunes has been loading really slowly. I hit the icon and it starts up, the icon bounces and nothing. If I check Activity Monitor I can see iTunes loaded and then it goes red and says iTunes (not responding). This lasted for about a minute before iTunes appeared.
(I had no Library configured, fresh install)
Long story short, the problem was the /etc/fstab file which had some NFS shares setup and the server wasn’t available. It *seems* iTunes was trying to access the shares for some reason, it was timing out and that was causing the delay.
Removed the entries, rebooted, typed “mount” and nothing listed. Started iTunes and it appeared immediately.
