How to fix the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 wifi network issue
Today, for the first time, I got really angry with Apple. I've been a longtime Apple fanboy. I love the company, its culture and stopped counting the Apple devices around my house when I reached a number higher than ten. :) Today, while being in the office, I installed the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 update on my 1,8 GHz Intel Core i7 MacBook Air. It's a 1.7 GB major update to the operating system offered by Software Update. I later manually reinstalled the combo update but it did not help at … Read More
Finding a memory leak with Xcode 4 Instruments
Over at the fantastic Facebook iOS Developers group, we had a discussion yielding 40+ comments about a memory leak and how to detect it with Instruments. I've created a brief screen cast based on the discussion we were having. While it actually shows pretty basic Instruments stuff, I still find even experienced devs struggling with the details. Follow me on Twitter (@24z) for mostly iOS related tweets and if you're not yet a member, join the tribe on … Read More
Hi there at Path, please get more responsive and fix your issues with Facebook.
Path 2.0, the smart journal app for iOS and Android phones has been praised a lot after its first complete reincarnation in late November. I also agree with everything Erik says about the app over on TechCrunch, rewarding it with two "Flys" (watch the video for the complete review). With more than $11.0M in funding and a rejected $100+ Million acquisition offer from Google, the Path team must be pretty confident. One thing though bothers me: As a company, Path seems to be relatively … Read More
How to not get fooled by a social media expert con artist
I live in Germany. We are not exactly known for being a social media friendly country. Some rightfully call us Blurmany, since our not-so-tech-savvy government forced Google into pixelating Street View images on home owners' requests. Also, we usually come a bit late to the Web 2.0 game, while letting Silicon Valley take the lead. Lately, I noticed a disturbing trend in the timelines of my various social media outlets: More and more German Social Media Experts pop up out of … Read More

How to find people on Google+: A brief update on Google+ Counter
It's only been some four weeks, since I started Google+ Counter. Initially, I just wanted to play with some advanced web technologies, sort of a proof-of-concept project.

Is the Mac OS X Lion release actually older than the July 11 developer GM seed?
Today, Apple released the eagerly awaited major Mac OS X update, Mac OS X Lion. Members of the Mac Developer Program got access to a so called GM seed on July 11th. While Gold Master (GM) seeds are supposed to be exactly like their soon-to-follow market releases, this has not always been the … »
