iOS 7 available to the public on September 10th according to developer email (update)


After news leaked of Apple's upcoming iPhone event on September 10th, it was assumedthe new iOS 7 would be announced at the same time — but now there's proof. Today, a developer named Owen Williams received an email indicating that iOS 7 would be released to the general public on the 10th, giving non-developers their first peek at the controversial operating system. The email comes from Nuance, which works closely enough with Apple to know the date in advance.
The news could also indicate that the release date of the new iPhones will come much closer to the September 10th event itself. Apple could even opt for a day-of release, a move the company has executed successfully with other products, but never attempted with the iPhone.

Here’s Another, Easier Way To Make A New Folder Full Of Selected Items



I make a new folder in the Finder using Shift-Command-N, or by selecting New Folder from the Finder menu, then Command- or Shift-click all the files I want to put into that folder, and drag them all over. I’ve heard you can even copy and paste files into a new folder the same way, but I’m kind of old school and don’t mess with that.

 Today, though, I read about a totally different way to do this. Color me surprised (and a bit chagrined) to find out that there’s an easier way to put a bunch of items into a new folder in the Finder.

 So, if you’re in the Finder, go ahead and Command-click on all the items you want to put into a new folder. Then, right click on any of the selected files, and choose New Folder with Selection.
 You can also head up to the File menu, and choose New Folder with Selection, or you can simply hit Control-Command-N to do the same thing.

Now, this seems like a pretty simple thing, but Mac OS X is full of these little refinements that just get by us once in a while. Hopefully, this is something you can use to make things just that much easier for you.
