How do I install Go language on Apple Mac OS X? How to setup GO lanuage on Mac OS X? How do I install Go language version 1.2+ on OS X? Go or golang, is a programming language initially developed at Google by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson. Just like Linux kernel it has many contributors from the open source community. From the official project site: Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software. Go is distributed under a BSD-style license. It is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It’s a fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted … [Read more...] about Mac OS X: Install Go Programming Language

Passwarden review: An interesting but flawed password manager for OS X
If you like to keep your information private, there’s never been a better time to save that info on your Mac and iOS devices: The Apple market is chock-full of products that help you securely store—and easily retrieve—everything from passwords to credit-card numbers, including one, dubbed iCloud Keychain, that Apple itself is busy baking right into OS X and iOS. The latest option I’ve tried is Passwarden (Mac App Store link), an OS X app built by DAR Software that promises to help you manage every last bit of sensitive information, in a secure way, with as little complexity as possible. Installation and usage Passwarden is easy to install and set up. The app—a free download—requires you to create an online account before you can store your data. You then use this account to synchronize your data with other Macs running the app and with iOS devices running the free companion iOS app. Once configured with your account, Passwarden allows you to enter … [Read more...] about Passwarden review: An interesting but flawed password manager for OS X
OS X El Capitan review: Mac upgrade that’s as solid as a rock
El Capitan, OS X 10.11 (all summer. In these days of free operating-system updates, major OS X updates feel a whole lot more routine than they used to be. Apple has chosen not to roll out major OS X features piecemeal throughout the year, though, which still makes this the biggest change your Mac will experience this year. El Capitan, named after the large granite rock formation inside Yosemite National Park, is very much a refined version of OS X Yosemite, a recognizable progression from its predecessor. (In iPhone terms, it would be Yosemite S.) Apple says this update is all about a refined experience and improved performance. But it’s traditional for Apple to take its no-big-deal updates and pour in a bunch of new features anyway, and El Capitan is no exception. This is a packed release, but one that makes sense as a follow-up to Yosemite. Just the basics Before we get started, it’s worth recapping what this El Capitan business is all about. El Capitan is Apple’s … [Read more...] about OS X El Capitan review: Mac upgrade that’s as solid as a rock
Apple unveils OS X Mountain Lion borrowing heavily from iPad
We would usually skip on reporting about Mac OS X, which Apple now refers to mostly as OS X, but this particular news piece is different - it shows some important changes in the way Cupertino unveils its novelties, and draws an interesting vector for the possible development of iOS. First of all, Apple has announced OS X Mountain Lion, a major update to OS X Lion, that’s about to ship in the summer of 2012. The company is also adopting a plan to update the operating system for Macs on a yearly basis. Major novelties are integration of iCloud along with many other things borrowed from iOS - Notification Center, Game Center, iMessage support with an app called Messages, AirPlay Mirroring, a Notes app, Reminders and deep Twitter integration. Overall, Apple is fortifying an ecosystem of three form factors - iPhone/iPod, iPad and Mac by introducing features like free messaging to Mac as well.Now, the announcement itself is interesting as it brings , but what we find to really … [Read more...] about Apple unveils OS X Mountain Lion borrowing heavily from iPad
Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite review
Putting the computer back in Apple Inc By David Pierce on October 16, 2014 03:00 pm 412 For nearly two decades, the release of a new PC operating system was an event. Upgrading cost money; you had to go to the store to get the necessary floppy disk or a CD; the new OS was expected to be different and better in basically every way. I’ll never forget the first time I booted Windows XP, or the day I finally got to jump again to Windows 7. The last few years, Apple’s taken a decidedly simpler approach. It still rents event space and touts the new features, but your new operating system arrives more like an tune-up than a new car. You open the app store, click a button, and poof: a few things change but everything stays mostly the same. This year’s model, OS X 10.10 Yosemite, is a little different. It comes with a stylistic overhaul, a new and cleaner coat of paint for your Mac. And it improves most of Apple’s built-in apps, from Mail to Maps and everything … [Read more...] about Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite review
