Two great Ultimate Ears tricks. First pairing them (thanks daleph, see also the video below):
To pair 2 devices without an app:
- Pair the FIRST speaker with your mac:
- Go to System Preferences > Bluetooth
- Press and hold the Bluetooth button until a tone is heard, it should appear as UM BOOM, pair it.
- Start playing music
- On the device now playing music press and hold the + and the Bluetooth keys until a tone is heard
- On the SECOND speaker press the Bluetooth button twice quickly
- After a few seconds both speakers will join together
They are only added as an identical pair, NOT Left and Right stereo
HTH
Dale
Then doing double up in stereo (thanks tomborai and McAllan):
There IS a way… you just gotta find a buddy who has the UE Boom App on either iOS or Android.
Set up STEREO mode and enable “Double Up Lock” just once with the App, ensure it plays proper stereo, then disconnect and power off both speakers.
App no longer needed.
Whenever you desire, power on both speakers around the same time, they will pair within seconds.
Then take your MAC, pair the first speaker only (LEFT), et voila, the speakers have memorized the stereo mode, enjoy!

On Mac OS X, bare route and ifconfig give way too much information to view the most important things at once.
So I used an alias for this:
route -n get default | grep 'gateway' && echo && ifconfig | grep '\: flags\|inet\|inet6'
Later I needed IPv6 support, so I changed it to:
netstat -nr | grep 'Internet\|Gateway\|default' && echo && ifconfig | grep '\: flags\|inet\|inet6'
So you get something like this:
Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
default 192.168.178.1 UGSc 23 0 en4
default 192.168.71.1 UGScI 7 0 en0

The only reliable way to create a remote print-screen is by using the Windows On-Screen Keyboard. It even works with Alt-Prt+Sc to make screenshots of individual Windows.
Just run OSK to start the On-Screen Keyboard.

LOL:
The if syntax of your script was a bit…well, iffy.
Indeed it is:
#!/bin/bash #toggle AppleShowAllFiles current_value=$(defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles) if [ $current_value = "TRUE" ] then defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE else defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE fi killall Finder
Even the alternative if statement is:
if [[ $(defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles) == TRUE ]]

When you’re not a frequent iTunes user, and recycle computer systems, then every once in a while you will get you in to a situation where you have Music on your iPod, but not on your PC any more.
Whereas iTunes is great at putting music on an iPod, it cannot get it back.
There are numerous paid tools to get the music from your iPod, but doing it manually is not that hard. Below are a few links to get you started, but they all come down to this:

Solution for:
My 6th generation nano plays same song over and over and will not shuffle songs or play them like it is supposed to skipping to next song. What do i need to do to get it back to normal?
peter’d in response to Karrojava:
If you have that second Nano, the one that is 1 3/4 inches, perfectly square, and your song is playing over and over, you need to put your finger on the double arrows that move to next song and swipe left. You’ll get the screen with the repeat loop, the genius icon and the shuffle icon and you’ll see that the repeat loop has a 1 showing. Just touch it and the one will disappear. It took me an hour to figure this out and I even got it twice and couldn’t figure out what I did. It isn’t in the current Nano instructions as the newer ones have easier access to these icons.
This is the sequence of screens from iPod nano in delhi | iPad in delhi | HP Laptop in delhi | Samsung Notebook | Chirag Desktop | Gaming Headphone | Apple, MAC Computers | VHS INFOTECH PVT. LTD.:
Playing song: swipe, then 
Repeat count; Genius; Shuffle mode.
Note: this iPod doesn’t auto-roate so you use two fingers to rotate it 90 degrees on any screen
Rote the screen: 
Use two fingers to rorate the screen.

During the last update of Microsoft Remote Desktop for my Mac, I noticed there is a beta available with a feature very familiar for users of visionapp – ASG-Remote Desktop: it allows you to manage common credentials.
Note the uncommon URLs of both the beta page redirect and the download:
In the mean time, I learned that “Microsoft has acquired HockeyApp. This is a tremendous opportunity to continue to provide developers with the best app development tools and users with the best app experiences.”, but the aka.ms is new to me. Anyone knows what it is about? A successor of go.microsoft.com/fwlink redirects?
New Mac OS X beta of Microsoft Remote Desktop announced.
I’m keeping an eye on this, as future features interest me much: Multiple monitors, Clipboard redirection, Remote Desktop Gateway, Remote Resources (RemoteApp and Desktop Connections), and Azure RemoteApp preview.
BTW: I wasn’t aware Remote Desktop made it this many platforms yet, as I’m mainly a Windows 8.x/7, Mac and Android user, but here you go:
