I vote for this. Actually, I think Apple should license QuickSilver from blacktree.com. All those seconds saved in launching/switching/everything-else-that-quicksilver-does really add up.

I'd like to help a friend disallow the use of a few apps in OS X 10.4 on a couple middle school computers for kids. I wanted to do this using the MCX settings. This article: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040824235605425 gives a hint of how to restrict which applications *can*...

Well, looks like the answer to this subject wasn't so *obvious* after all, eh? PearLyrics has been issued an apology by the ones sending nasty legal letters. http://www.wired.com/news/digiwood/0,1412,69856,00.html Hopefully this means PearLyrics will return in all its greatness. I guess the...

Except that this 'small one' is wireless. Stringing a cord across your front room isn't very pretty. And we all know what Jobs tells us about aesthetics. :)

"Ok, so we’re still having issues, but here’s what we’ve got so far. Apparently there’s a Salling Clicker replacement for the Mac—a Mac remote, as it were. It’s called FrontRow. We also have word of a new, flatter iMac with built-in iSight. This guy will have a larger drive, FrontRow, and will...

http://arstechnica.com/columns/mac/mac-20050607.ars/1 Fantastic article on the passing of the Power PC by Siracusa of arstechnica. Also a very informative Q&A at the end. Good read for the Mac faithful. And it's not despairing! Just some appropriate mourning for a beloved lost...

Nice! Maybe this is part of what good 'ol Stevie & Intel had up their sleeves. Hey -- we finally get to be excited about Intel releases. Cool! And...weird. the article itself: http://www.cooltechzone.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1375
