# the admin password for all of the IE VMs is “Password1″ without the quotes, it's also used for the password hints

1) Install VirtuaBox on your mac

http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.10/VirtualBox-4.1.10-76795-OSX.dmg

2) Decide which versions of Internet Explorer you want to download and install – each version of Internet Explorer is contained within a separate virtual machine that runs within VirtualBox. In other words, if you want to run Internet Explorer 7, 8, and 9, you will need to download three separate VM’s, which may take a while so keep that in mind. Select the text below and copy it:

# Install ALL versions of Internet Explorer: IE 7, IE 8, and IE 9 (for now this script will also pull down a IE 6 vm with windows xp)

Greetings, NSHipsters!

As we prepare to increment our NSDateComponents -year by 1, it's time once again for NSHipster end-of-the-year Reader Submissions! Last year, we got some mind-blowing tips and tricks. With the release of iOS 7 & Mavericks, and a year's worth of new developments in the Objective-C ecosystem, there should be a ton of new stuff to write up for this year.

Submit your favorite piece of Objective-C trivia, framework arcana, hidden Xcode feature, or anything else you think is cool, and you could have it featured in the year-end blowout article. Just comment on this gist below!

Here are a few examples of the kind of things I'd like to see:

• Using NSStringFromSelector(@selector()) as a safer way to do KVC / KVO / NSCoding.
• Panic's [rather surprising discovery about the internals of the Lightning Digital AV Adapter](http://www.panic.com/blog/the-lightning-di

Update Xcode plugins to new Xcode UUID

1. Get current Xcode UUID

XCODEUUID=`defaults read /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Info DVTPlugInCompatibilityUUID`

2. Write it into the Plug-ins's plist
