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*...

http://news.com.com/Google+whistles+a+new+tune/2100-1024_3-5995864.html?tag=nefd.top Could be pretty cool with all the community-like features Google seems to be including in the search results. At the same time Google is also partenering with Real & eMusic & etc. Vendor-neutral seems good...

http://www.pearworks.com/ pearLyircs looked up lyrics online and inserted them into iTunes. **They got a cease and desist letter!!!** This is totally insane. Why in the world would the record industry shut down someone that was providing a service *benefitted* them?!? There is just simply no...

Anyone know of a way to prevent OS X from converting a double dash '--' into an long (em) dash? In TextEdit, for example. This would be nice when I am trying to code a C++ program. XCode manages to not convert the dashes, but TextEdit & SubEtha seem to have this problem/feature due to...

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

edit: oops, guess this was old news. Move along, nothing to see here.

http://www.netimperative.com/2005/03/17/itunes_mobile/view Very interesting read, especially alongside this article (referenced in the above article) and the recent ipod-firewire fiasco.

When Apple released Safari in 2003 nothing big was really happening on the browser scene (on the surface at least), and at the time theirs was the biggest browser news out there. No one can blame them from not being able to forsee the Firefox explosion, but it's here now. Just compare...

http://www.macnewsworld.com/story/40902.html Saving money and moving on to new technology is fine...but to burn millions of Mac fanatics with an extra $19 charge in order to save $1/iPod....seems a little harsh to me. My TiBook 1GHz will force me to pay an extra $19 for any iPod now. Is...

Best multi-button mouse software for the Mac. Period. Much better than what MS or Logitech or Kensignton puts out with their products. Great for the button-hungry power-user! Made by Alessandro Montalcini, distributed by Senlick Ltd. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/13443

Indispensable for me for reasons: 1. Re-mapping the caps lock key to a *useful* modifier key. (Caps lock is an astounding way to waste prime keyboard real estate!) 2. Trackpad modifier key scrolling. I also use SideTrack, but modifier key scrolling is different than what SideTrack offers...

Apple now accepts PayPal for the iTMS and you get 5 free songs when you sign up. Pretty cool.

edit: oops, already been covered in another thread.

My school has linux computers that I can connect to through ssh and remotely use the applications on them. For example, right now I do this: - Start X11 - Run the command "ssh -X username@server.blah" and log in - Start applications by typing something like "kwrite &" I was just wondering...

Why can't Apple implement an upload meter for iDisk that actually works??? Does anyone know if 10.4 has a working progress bar? Thx

There are 2 wireless networks that I connect to regularly, and a third that lets me join but doesn't let me connect to the internet. Unfortunately, for some reason, the third is the one my PowerBook often joins by default. Does anyone know how I might be able to go back and tell OS X that I...

Any iTMS songs de-restricted with hymn (http://www.hymn-project.org/) will not play in iTunes 4.6. Songs de-restricted through the previous version of hymn (PlayFair) will still play. I de-restricted all my songs so that I could easily use them in Final Cut (need to convert them to aiff)...
