OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview Installation

Just one day after the surprise announcement of the next version of everyone's favourite operating system, I got the chance to test out the developer preview that Apple released to test apps and find bugs. Along with my friend Zac, we installed the first developer preview of OS X Mountain Lion onto his Late-2010 iMac. We decided to make a two part video to capture the details and processes of installing it, one part on each of our channels. We installed it onto an 8GB USB flash drive due to partition issues on the iMac, but still got good enough performance to show off. Overall, I am very impressed at what Apple has done with Mountain Lion and I hope you enjoy this 2 part series.

iPad 2: How to Enable Multitouch Multitask Gestures

Before the release of the Apple iPad 2, there was speculation and several rumors floating around that Apple intended on removing the home button from each of their iOS devices. These rumors surfaced once a developer beta build of iOS reached the public, showing off multi-touch gestures incorporated in the iPad's software for multitasking. These gestures included four finger swipes, as well as a five finger pinch motion. The five finger pinch gesture would direct the user out of their current app and back to the homescreen. This gesture was the basis of the rumors that future iOS devices could be without the original home button. It can be predicted that Apple will eventually incorporate these multitask gestures in a future iOS update, but whether they will choose to remove the home button from their iOS devices remains to be seen.

In this video, I provide a tutorial and demonstration on how to enable multi-touch guestures on your iPad. This option is compatible with the first generation and second generation iPad.
