  • TinkerTool has an option to disable icon zooming.
  • 512MB RAM is a must, especially for a notebook: Remember, more RAM means fewer reads from virtual memory off the HD, and that makes for longer battery life. Airport is a must, and Bluetooth is really handy as a way to do ad hoc data transfer and…
  • I scored an old working APS UPS out of the trash a while back -- too useful! I keep my 17" iMac hooked up to it just in case, although journalling makes me a lot less nervous that I used to be. I expect it to be with me for a good while. I found …

  • Quote: Originally posted by MPMoriarty Everything that Apple is doing with SpotLight, I'm sure Launch Bar or QuickSilver could do if they integrated it. So far it is unclear what kind of access third-parties will have to Spotlight. We know t…
  • Quote: Originally posted by johnq LaunchBar or Quicksilver are (welcomed) band-aid solutions but Spotlight is the real deal. They are great for now but will seem limiting and tacked-on compared to Spotlight, I guarantee. Yes, but will Spot…
  • Judging by many of the comments here, it sure seems like what people really need is LaunchBar or Quicksilver. LaunchBar has solved all my "do I want this in the Dock?' questions and, since I have LaunchBar's Dock icon disabled, even it isn't in the…

  • A management tool for the services menu is much needed.
  • Quote: Originally posted by NorthernSoul thanks for that link jginsbu, thats exactly what i was looking around for. the only problem is that when i do as the directions ask, it says: "the variable p is not defined". what is this? how do i fix it?…
  • Quote: Originally posted by adamr I have now tried to save as PDF from Adobe Reader, but Reader 6.0 will not allow you to either preview or do save to PDF from the print dialog box. That's because Adobe's apps use their own PDF and print engi…
  • You can use an AppleScript called 'Albumize Selection' to do this. It's available at: http://www.malcolmadams.com/itunes/s...umizeselection Select the songs in the album, then File > New Playlist from Selection. Within the playlist you can p…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Amorph The sublimation of the operating system. If there are any next-generation filesystems or the like, and in particular any spiffy metadata implementations, they will be used toward this end. Essentially, the idea …
  • Quote: Originally posted by costique Yes, the wi-fi bandwidth is just not enough. Unless there is a fast lossless compression coupled to it. But that would be overkill for yet another display implementation. Does it make sense to invent anything …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Amorph I believe we're a ways from detachable wireless screens. 802.15.3 is a step in the right direction, but LCDs are holding steady pricewise, and the technology to make a compelling tablet - even one that is "tethe…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Amorph Since laptops are taking off - and I think this is a long-term trend that will not reverse - what the iMac has to do is justify its lack of portability by offering a machine powerful enough that you can only par…
  • Quote: Originally posted by jante99 It just seems a little overkill to have your speakers be wireless when normally they are a few feet away from your TV/stereo components. Part of the point is to eliminate the TV/Stereo components as the hea…
  • Quote: Originally posted by jante99 Wireless would work for digital data (CD player to DAC) but you are right about analog connections. To get good sound you need a powerful amp connected to speakers with quality cable. Despite being a bit of…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Luca Rescigno You want g33k to the nth degree, you have to use IRC. It's been around a lot longer than any other internet chat service. Huh? I guess it depends what you mean by "chat service", but some of us were …
  • Quote: Originally posted by ast3r3x I've always wondered why people would use prefix and postfix notation. It used to seem pointless in my computer programming class. There are some advantages to PN and RPN as notations, but they are usually…
