Does anyone know how to map my extra Function Keys to specific Operations, like Next, Previous & Pause in iTunes, without actually shifting focus to iTunes? For example, say I'm Chatting, and want iTunes to skip to the next song, I can select Next Song from the iTunes Dock Menu, I can...

Change your Smart Playlists from "is" to "contains", or to be even more specific, "Starts with" or "Ends with"

I have an iCurve and haven't looked back. It raises the laptop up to eye level. I recommend the iBreeze to people with Windows Laptops. They usually run Hotter, and also usually only have one USB Port... they can use the iBreeze as a Hub... In your Situation, It all comes down to...

When you launch an App in X, it starts as a Child of the App you launched it from. If you start an xterm and run gimp from it (launched in the background with "> gimp &"), for example, gimp is the child of the xterm. If you quit that xterm, you quit gimp too. If you have multiple xterms open...
