How to Enable Two-Step Verification for Your Apple ID
Cody Fink from Mac Stories provided a walk through showing how to setup the two factor / step verification for your Apple ID.
You should really consider doing this if you use an Apple ID for anything, like buying Apps on your iPhone, buying movies on iTunes, etc.
Faster Facebook iOS app coming…
The Facebook iOS app is horribly slow, but apparently that will change in the not too distant future thanks to a reasonably large rewrite, moving away from being mostly a HTML5 browser to a native Objective-C app.
The New York Times agrees, and they’ve gotten a few Facebook engineers to promise, off the record, that the next version of the app will be better. It’s being rebuilt in native Objective-C (the current app mostly uses HTML5), it’ll be faster, and it’ll actually work the way it’s supposed to work, letting you use Facebook as normal from your iPhone.
This can’t come soon enough in my opinion, it pains me to spend any more than a few seconds in the current Facebook iOS app, more often I opt to use my MacBook Air if I need to do anything more than a simple status update.

Bill Gates: tablets in the classroom have a ‘terrible track record’
Just giving people devices, that has a really terrible track record. You really have to change the curriculum and the teacher and those things, and it’s never going to work on a device where you don’t have keyboard-type input.
So can we just get Frasier Speirs to respond to this and totally debunk “Bill’s Law”, because his real life deployment in the real world is somewhat different to this.
Apple just released my new MacBook Pro
Seriously, how good do those retina displays look! I was all set to stick with my MacBook Air 13″ as my portable, with a mid-2010 MacBook Pro 13″ on my desk connected to an LCD Cinema Display, but after this morning’s announcements I think that might be changing to a 15″ MacBook Pro Retina Display only…
But no seriously, how good do these things look!
A coincidence, I’m sure, but Samsung’s Chromebox looks kind of familiar
Not just familiar, but that is a direct ripoff of Apple’s Mac Mini.
Samsung isn’t even putting up a good fight anymore.
Quickly share iOS photos with your Mac
There are plenty of ways to transfer photos from an iOS device to a Mac—I generally email them to myself or use Messages—but it can still be a hassle.
Amazing tip! Which you’ll need to go and read on Macworld.
The Mac App Store: Falling In Love Again
Andy Ihnatko on why the Mac App Store makes a lot of sense going forward.
Generating this image was a needlessly long and complicated process. Oh, the app is easy as pie. It was only complicated because I hadn’t really used the app in ages. I downloaded a fresh copy from HDRSoft and looked in my Mail archive for the license code, but I couldn’t find it. I used their website’s automated thingy to have it re-sent to me, but they didn’t have the code on file and it was a holiday weekend.
