The Real Solution to bring back Swiping to Lion
This (previous post) is a hack to get Vertical swiping back on the Magic Trackpad and doesn’t work for a laptop trackpad.
For this fact I think Apple’s intention is to use the Option key as a modifier to activate vertical swiping and it is likely this hack will be fixed at some point.
So my suggestion to get swiping back in your favorite cell-based apps like Carousel, Reeder,...
HOWTO: Bring Back Vertical Swiping in Lion
Edit: Some people are saying they are not seeing the plist. It might be worth noting that the /Users/your_username/Library (~/Library) folder is hidden by default in Lion. To unhide it, open Terminal.app and issue the command chflags nohidden ~/Library/ Not sure if that will help people find the plist that needs to be edited or not.
Edit #2: It is possible this is a Magic Trackpad only fix

HOWTO: Sync Carousel saves/recents with Dropbox
Like most Mac apps, Carousel stores support files in the Application Support directory, this of course includes the file used for saves and recents. You should be able to just copy and paste the commands after each step in your Terminal application…
First quit Carousel and backup your file in case something goes wrong:
cp -r ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.mobelux.Carousel...

Syncing CodeBox content with Dropbox
The only app that I’ve bought from the Mac App Store is CodeBox. It is pretty light on features right now, but it does an OK job at storing code snippets.
One feature that I’ve got to have is a way to sync the content across multiple macs. So I figured out how to do it with Dropbox:
First backup ~/Library/Application Support/com.shpakovski.mac.codebox in case something goes...

Just something to think about.
Objective-C Try / Catch Block
cocoaheads:
Used for trying to execute code that might generate an exception, and catching a resulting exception.
Sample:
@try {
//code
}
@catch (NSException *exception) {
//handler
}
@finally {
//statements
}
It should be noted that iOS simulator hates try/catch and will crash on an exception. http://www.openradar.me/8237699

iOS 4.2 + 1st Gen Apple TV = Fail?
I’ve been playing around a little with the iOS 4.2 Gold Master beta. The first thing I wanted to try was AirPlay, so I fired up the iPod app on my iPad. I was not happy with what I found.
I guess the good is my Airport Express showed up in the list. The bad news is no Apple TV. My Apple TV is pretty flakey so I restarted it… no change. Then I used the Remote app to connect up...

I recently came in to possession of a couple of genuine Greenwood Tempered Steel Rakes, invented by my great-Uncle. Still in good shape for being ~80 y/o.
