As noted just after the launch of the first iOS 7 beta earlier this month, the operating system is capable of detecting when unauthorized Lightning cables or accessories are plugged into an iOS 7 device.

Chang warns that several other companies have claimed to have achieved similar cracks, but that in iPhone5mod's testing those companies' cables still generate alerts under certain circumstances.

Vim has a very powerful built-in sort utility, or it can interface with an external one. In order to keep only unique lines in Vim, you would:

:{range}sort u

Yes, it's that simple.

Between 2008 and 2010, the equipment attached to Google's Street View vehicles not only collected 360-degree mapping images, but also data from unencrypted wireless networks within range. That included emails, passwords, photos, and chat logs.

We looked through photographs of luxury watches, thinking about how they used orange as a pop color for branding or second hands. I offered opinions, but John tracked hex codes along with impressions in a Field Notes notebook. We aren’t afraid to sweat the details.

Many Visual Studio users have a solution tree structure with multiple projects and solution folders that are organized as a deep hierarchy. To avoid visual pollution, users want only those projects expanded that are being actively developed (often with many of the project’s child nodes recursively collapsed). To accomplish this task, they have to manually collapse each node recursively – an onerous chore if one has a deeply nested solution tree. The Collapse Selection in Solution Explorer extension addresses this particular issue by enabling the user to recursively collapse multiple nodes with a single click.

Share it over a file share
Instead of having people reference your local repository, you can put your repository on a file share. [instructions follow...]

# First we navigate to the repository place and will create a new project-X dir
$ cd /share/git
$ mkdir project-X 
$ cd project-X

# now we initialize this directory
# but instead of using git init, we use  git --bare init "A short aside about
# what git means by bare: A default git repository assumes that you will be
# using it as your working directory, so git stores the actual bare repository
# files in a .git directory alongside all the project files. Remote
# repositories don't need copies of the files on the filesystem unlike working
# copies, all they need are the deltas and binary what-nots of the repository
# itself.  This is what "bare" means to git. Just the repository itself."

$ git --bare init

# First go to your local repository
$ cd $HOME/project-X
# Then make the link to the shared repository
$ git remote add origin file:///share/git/project-X


# We push to the remote repository
$ git push origin master
