If you’re a web developer who uses MAMP in conjunction with anything other than PHP,
I’m sure you’ve had quite a large bit of frustration involving multiple MyQL instances.

Not any more! This simple chain of commands will save you days upon days of troubles:

1
2

sudo rm  /tmp/mysql.sock
sudo ln -s /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

I only wish I had found this sooner.

Enjoy.

Amazon’s EC2 allows anyone in the world to have instant access to incredibly powerful high-end servers that would usually cost tens of thousands of dollars for pennies on the dollar.

Life is good.

Of course, people use this technology for both good and bad. In fact, a few days ago, someone wrote a tutorial for
Cracking PGP with an Amazon EC2 instance & EDPR. Again, life is good.

Remember: if you create an successful open door web service,
all people, good and bad, will come.

And that is very sad. However, they have an Awesome Angry Unicorn.
And this unicorn makes me smile, even though I can’t get to any of my projects.

If you’re going to make a web application, give it some personality. This will not only keep your userbase entertained, but will serve as a nice insurance package when you let them down. :)

I’ve always noticed drastic improvements in my site loading speeds when using the service (due to drastically improved domain name lookups). There’s really no downside to using the system. It’s significantly faster than most ISP’s own DNS servers, and it’s updated far more frequently. But

OpenDNS now offers a new service called OpenDNS Deluxe, which is tailed for the average household as well as smaller companies.
It allows users to have an ad-free experience and have priority over free members.
The price for this service is only $9.95 a year. Not too bad!

They are also offering a very robust OpenDNS Enterprise edition for medium to fortune 500 companies. It has many advanced features such as: delegated administration, advanced reporting, and malware site protection.

That price isn’t listed :)

But, Why?

Because they have proven that thoughtful design and attention to every minute detail will always win in the end.

Because they have shown that designing with both developers and users equally in mind is essential.

Because they noticed that being remarkable isn’t about being the go-to guy all the time.

Because they realized that it’s okay to do not have the biggest market share.

Because they realized there is a balance. And they found it.

Because they make the best laptops around.

Because they lead a tribe of people.

So, Congratulations Apple.

You deserve it.

Really.
