Interesting: HotspotShield VPN to surf from a USA IP address.
There is a free version with ads, and a payed version without ads.
Probably more services like this exist, but this has been working for me.
Yup there are:

osx – How to find out Mac OS X version from Terminal? (via: Super User)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/03
I’m a command-line addict, so this was a great SuperUser question by Željko Filipin:
I know how to find Mac OS X version from GUI: Apple Menu (top left) > About This Mac
Is there a Terminal command that will tell me Mac OS X version?
It was answered by User delfuego:
You have a few options:
sw_vers -productVersion
system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType
These commands led me to this post: Finding OS X Version and Build Information From the Command Line | The Nubby Admin that also showed these commands:
uname -a
osascript -e 'system info'
Where uname shows only the kernal version, oascript gives a ton of information. Read the rest of this entry »

If you miss having the Caps Lock button on your #Chromebook… (via: Google Chrome – Google+)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/13
This reminds me about mapping the CapsLock to Windows-key on old Lenovo keyboard (you can do that [Wayback/Archive] with ReMapKey from Microsoft, the [Wayback/Archive] slightly more convoluted open source SharpKeys, or a AutoHotKey script), and a [Wayback] Mac equivalent:
MacOS:
I like to have a second Control key instead of Caps Lock.
In OS X, go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard -> Modifier Keys… and change or turn off Caps Lock, Control, Option and Command.
For more radical key remapping in OS X, use KeyRemap4MacBook. Despite the name, it works on non-Macbook machines, too.
…
ChromeBook:
If you miss having the Caps Lock button on your #Chromebook, you can turn the Search button into a Caps Lock button in a couple steps: find “Keyboard Settings” under the “Settings” menu, and select “Caps Lock” under the “Search” drop-down menu.
Or you can use this quick link on your Chromebook: chrome://settings/keyboard-overlay
Chromebook has [Wayback/Archive] quite some different keys than a Windows keyboard.
Ben Ostrowsky has a nice post with an SVG drawing of the [Wayback/Archive] Chromebook keyboard layout.

Mac OS X: How do you run JavaScript script through the Terminal? (via: Stack Overflow)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/11
Now I have these aliases in my ~/.bash_profile:
alias jsc='/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaScriptCore.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/jsc'
alias JavaScript='/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaScriptCore.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/jsc'
Now I can use the WebKit jsc from the console.

Fixing Inverted Caps Lock on VMWare Fusion, Parallels, or Remote Desktop (RDP/MSTSC)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/10
Every now and then my Mac RDP program will suddenly turn on the CAPS LOCK on the connected Windows terminal.
It happens on different OS X versions, and different Windows versions. I haven’t figured out the steps to reproduce yet. I will amend this post when I have (:
I also have it occasionally fail when I RDP from a physical Windows system to another Windows system, but far less than from Mac OS X.
You work around it using the On Screen Keyboard tool in Windows like Josh Adams explains:
- launch the On-screen Keyboard application (generally this can be done by choosing Start ==> All Programs ==> Accessories ==> Accessibility ==> On-screen Keyboard; as noted by DrFooMod2 in a comment below, you can also bring up the On-screen Keyboard by typing “osk” without the quotes in the Windows Run… box) and
- toggle Caps Lock by clicking on the virtual “lock” button in the application.
- The On-screen Keyboard application shows–and can change–the state of Caps Lock
The easiest way to start the On Screen Keyboard is to create a shortcut to this:
%windir%\system32\osk.exe
