Integrate the MacOS sandbox into an executable Firefox application

Following up on the ideas of this previous hint, there is also a possibility to make an application which starts with the sandbox already activated, so there is no need to run a shell script every time you need the sandbox. This is how to do that:
  • Make a copy of your Firefox.app and rename it to FirefoxSandbox.app
  • Right-Click on FirefoxSandbox.app and choose 'Show Package Contents.'
  • Take the sandbox definition from the hint referenced above and save it as 'sandbox' in the Contents/MacOS subfolder of the package. Replace all the references to 'Firefox.app' within that file with 'FirefoxSandbox.app.'
  • Create a file called 'firefoxSandbox' in the same Contents/MacOS folder and make it executable.
  • The contents of the 'firefoxSandbox' file are (just paste in the following): ...

Apple releases Xcode 4 GM. Again!

Apple has just posted another GM seed (number 2 if you're keeping count) of Xcode 4. Build 4A304a is ready for you to download, install, use and love. You need to be a paid member of either the iOS or the Mac dev programs to access this build.

Now, if Apple would only get around to, you know, releasing Xcode 4..., it would make life ever so much more interesting.

Be aware that if you are beta testing Lion, you will need to download and install the separate Lion-specific tools. Xcode 4 GM is built for Snow Leopard.

A tip of the developer's cowboy hat to Morgan for telling us about the re-release

Apple?s iPad 2 a Step Backward for Carrier Choice?

Apple unveiled the iPad 2 today, and I was surprised by at least one thing: Unlike its predecessor, the iPad 2 looks to be locked to a single carrier, even in at least one country where carriers use the same mobile network technology.

PhotoAge analysis of Steve Jobs over the years

The PhotoAge iPhone app ($0.99) is a fun little app that I have a love-hate relationship with. I love it, because it's fun to see how old the app thinks people are. I also hate PhotoAge, because it said I was 10 years older than I actually am and that result was used with evil intent at a Macworld Expo dinner (yes, I'm talking about you, Aaron!).

The developers of the app thought that Steve Jobs looked pretty darned good during his recent surprise appearance at the iPad 2 introduction, so they used their product to do an analysis of Steve's actual age versus his age as perceived by the app. The results are quite interesting.

According to PhotoAge, Jobs always looked somewhat younger than his actual age until his recent illness, when he understandably began to show signs of aging at a much more rapid pace. However, when the app analyzed his most recent appearance on Wednesday, it actually found him to look one year younger than his actual 56 years.

Whether Steve is feeling better during his most recent treatment, he's found a good makeup artist for public appearances, or PhotoAge is just plain wrong about his perceived age, we at TUAW send our best wishes for good health.
