iPad iOS 4.3 App Store Updates date bug

After iPad (first generation) iOS 4.3 update, the App Store displays wrong release dates for updated applications, as can be seen in the captured image:

Wrong date: 29 October 2009, although the application update was released on 16 March 2011.

The App Store shows correct update date on my iPhone also running iOS 4.3:

Update: The issue is still not fixed in iOS 4.3.1, at least on my iPad.

Update 2: Issue still present in iOS 4.3.2

Update 3: Issue still present in iOS 4.3.3

Update 4: Issue still present on my iPad 2 in iOS 4.3.4, appears to be fixed on iPhone 4 iOS 4.3.4

Update 5: Issue still present on my iPad 2 in iOS 4.3.5

Update 6: Issue still present on my iPad 2 in iOS 5.0

ldd equivalent under Mac OS X

You can use the object file displaying tool – otool. The ldd equivalent otool parameter is -L:

-L print shared libraries used

Example:
$ otool -L ~/bin/wget
/Users/cbredi/bin/wget:
/usr/lib/libssl.0.9.8.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.8, current version 0.9.8)
/usr/lib/libcrypto.0.9.8.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.8, current version 0.9.8)
/usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 125.2.1)

If you do not have the otool command, make sure Xcode is properly installed.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: No AirTunes support in Front Row

Just upgraded my Mac mini I use as a media center to find out that the new Front Row does not stream to remote AirTunes speakers as it did in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. Front Row sound goes only to audio out, which is connected to the TV. One more thing: the music stops when leaving the Music menu in Front Row. Mac OS X 10.5.1 update does not fix these problems. Apple Support Discussions thread is here.

iPod touch YouTube proxy issue

“YouTube not available” error message is shown on the iPod touch display when a proxy server is configured.

I see a 404 error message for http://iphone-wu.apple.com/feeds/standardfeeds/ in squid logs.

Same problem reported on Apple Discussions.

New off-site backup solution – rsync.net

I signed up with rsync.net for an off-site filesystem. Opted for geo-redundant version (automated nightly replication to other site) located in Zurich, Switzerland. Very fast speed from Europe and Qatar, good speed with US hosts. Very easy to use from Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Linux and Windows (rsync, ftp, scp, sftp, ssh, WebDAV). Direct integration in Finder, just use “Connect to Server” and enter the hostname address with https. On Linux and FreeBSD 6.x sshfs works like a charm. Easy to install on FreeBSD using ports, just cd /usr/ports/sysutils/fusefs-sshfs and run make install clean.
