Alfred v2 released

After many months of development and beta testing, Alfred v2 has now officially landed!

Alfred v2 is re-written from the ground up to be faster, more efficient and easier to use. Overall, less than 15% of Alfred v1’s code was reused, and every feature was carefully improved and given the love it needs.

Imagine if…

Imagine if you woke up tomorrow and all the music was gone

Alfred Extension: Toggle Tunlr

Toggle Tunlr screenshot

This Alfred extension changes your Wi-Fi DNS settings to the Tunlr servers and back again.

The script naïvely assumes that you are using a Wi-Fi network and that you normally don’t have any DNS servers manually set.

Tunlr lets you stream content from sites like Netflix, Hulu, MTV, CBS, ABC, Pandora and more to your Mac or PC. Want to watch Netflix or HuluPlus on your iPad, AppleTV or XBox 360 even though you’re not in the U.S.? Tunlr lets you do this.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck…

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family Anatidae on our hands.
