At macthemes someone wrote about a hidden preference for itunes 10 to restore the normal titlebar buttons. Code: defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -int -1 This reminds me of the time they where experimenting with tabs in the ti…

I also don't want to always have to use a touch screen even on a big screened computing device that I'd do my main computing on. I don't want to have to keep the screen within arms length all the time. In fact I keep my 27 inch iMac's screen just ou…

You know what? I don't want to do most of my computing or even "media consuming" on a small touch screen on my lap thank you very much. I also don't want to do all my computing with all a single application full screen all the time and having to ess…

In my opinion they (the icons) don't necessarily look better.. just different.

What did I say the other day? I said I had a feeling Valve was not going to use a WINE like abstraction layer.... they say.. and I quote: "We looked at a variety of methods to get our games onto the Mac and in the end decided to go with native versi…

I wouldn't mind if it was a new kind of affordable cube. But if they are willing to upgrade the Mini without changing the form factor too much I wouldn't mind that either. The thing is though if they are going to keep things like the GPU non-upg…
