That doesn't sound like the actual issue, or am I not understanding it correctly?

Files get a "quarantine flag" set on them as metadata when downloaded on OS X. Gatekeeper uses this (along with the developer signature) to check if an app is "safe" to open or not. Not sure where this sqlite database fits in, but it's very likely related to that.

This looks fantastic and the timing couldn't have been better for me. It's been a while that I started a new Django project and I was looking for exactly this type of best practices just this afternoon.

> Why would we have thought that they would sell the new adapter any different then the old 30 pin?
Before the new connector was announced there were rumours that licensing for it would be more restrictive. Also notice how you can't license MagSafe at all.
I'm not saying Apple's decision is the right one, but IMHO it was clear there was a risk regarding licensing.

They've been live streaming the iTunes festival too. I wonder if they are using this to test their streaming infrastructure ...

IMO directly viewing the videos in safari and not having YouTube.app hijack the links actually makes for a better experience overall.

http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/ lists the following macs as supporing AirPlay
* iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
* Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
* MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
* MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)

Also keep in mind that AirPlay mirroring requires at least a Sandybridge CPU, so you need a mac released in 2011 or later.

When I ran into this problem I simply added a post-checkout hook that deletes *.pyc files within the git root.
julien_p | 14 years ago | on: Quote Stream - Push real-time stock quotes in JSON over web-sockets with node.js
It's taking the data from google.com, for example http://www.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=AAPL which AFAIK isn't a public Google API. As noted in other comments, real time quote APIs tend to be subscription services that are somewhat expensive ...

I've certainly noticed a speed difference recently. DDG feels pretty snappy to me now, whereas before it was annoyingly slow, easily taking a second or so to load. I'm located in Luxembourg.

The X11 that comes with Lion is XQuartz anyway.
All this changes is that the first time you run an application that uses X11 a dialog box pops up directing you to the XQuartz project page.
