Form element “Select” snaps back in IE9

Problem
Form element “select” folds, when mouse button is released in IE9.
Expected behaviour: Should stay open. Close only, when one option is selected.

Cause
CSS :active selector
Only IE9 is affected.

select:active { ... }

Solution
Disable the selector for IE9 or for all browsers

/* select:active { ... } */

iCloud basics

Application 1
Sync contacts and calenders between mac, ipad and iphone.

Application 2
Sync files between iCloud enabled apps like goodreader or pages.

Application 3
Sync the music YOU BOUGHT VIA ITUNES between mac, ipad and iphone.

Application 4 (iTunes Match)
Sync the music FROM OTHER SOURCES (e.g. Amazon, real CDs, …) between mac, ipad and iphone.

This service is not freely available. It costs 25,– € per year.

Application 5
Backup the ipad/iphone device in the cloud.

This backup doesn’t include your music files.
Hint: The backup of an ipad/iphone never includes the music files. It doesn’t matter if you backup via itunes or icloud.

Average size of my backup file for the ipad/iphone is ~300 MB.

List all users with the dscl command

dscl -- Directory Service command line utility

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/dscl.1.html

List all users or groups

$ dscl . list /users
$ dscl . list /groups

If you want to output information about each user, though, use readall:

$ dscl . readall /users
$ dscl . readall /groups

And if you need to programatically parse said information, use -plist to make your life easier:

$ dscl -plist . readall /users
$ dscl -plist . readall /groups
