WordPress sucks. major posting issues. This is truncated big time - sorry.
Watch for a nice, full featured video download to come… In the meantime:
THE DEMO
(Sorry, YouTube kinda skewed my movie a bit…)
THE SETUP
(Starting at the top of the Preferences items)
Application: First off, make sure you’re running Quicksilver with the most advanced Beta [...]
Here’s the deal people. Quicksilver (get over it, Quicksilver owns me, and I will forever write about it) is one of those apps that totally changes the user experience on a mac. Stop me if you’ve heard this before… But it’s also one of those things that is pretty difficult to really [...]
Kula Software, developers of the fantastic blog editor ecto, have just released their answer to news readers. Endo, who’s name plays off that of its sibling, has a few refreshingly new and well executed features that make it stand out from the get-go. To begin with, the first time you launch endo, you are taken [...]
Security Update 2006-001 is out, and as I write this, Software Update is downloading and installing it, as well as an update to iTunes (bringing it to version 6.0.4) and iPhoto (to 6.0.2).
The full lowdown on the contents of Security Update 2006-001 can be found in this knowledge base article, and it includes the Safari [...]
If you’ve ever wished you had the wikipedia definition of ‘folksonomy’ or ‘web 2.0′ while out and about, now you can. Check out the wikipedia on your ipod. I haven’t tried it out myself just yet, but it looks as if you can even search entries - using the scroll wheel to select [...]
This is great!
Install the plugin and you can search your Del.icio.us bookmarks through Spotlight. I installed it, and a moment later ran a query - my CPU has stayed steady as ever while the indexing occured - with instant results.
Quicksilver also has a plugin to do this, but the response is not quite on [...]
Having not seen the question posed in a few months, I think it’s time once again. What’s in your Menu Bar? I think there are enough of us out there with some little app or utility that we take for granted. Lets post em so everyone can find a new gem or [...]
FlyingMeat has released an app called FlyGesture ($24.95) that brings together a combination of Mouse Gestures and Quicksilver (or any launcher) type capabilities. Essentially, if you’re more of a mouse-jockey than the keyboard sort, this may be the application for you. I gave it a quick run-through - mainly out of curiosity - [...]
Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of Quicksilver coverage. Periodically I start to ‘pen’ new pieces on Quicksilver here on The Apple Blog - but then I compare it to some of the other things I’ve read across these great internets and I bow to their superiority. So rather than bore everyone with [...]
Yesterday was a month from the start of my Metadata-centric Experiment. Those eagle-eyed readers amongst you watched it come and go with nary a word from me - I apologize folks.
To Recap:
For a month now I’ve been dumping everything into an empty Documents folder. No directory structure to speak of what-so-ever. However, [...]
Raise your hand if you’re never quite satisfied by one browser and jump around every few months. That’s me for sure.
Safari’s great. Quick, elegant UI, Apple. But just often enough, a page or two don’t render the way they should. Eventually I can’t handle it.
Camino is really nice. It’s coming [...]
Adobe Systems, makers of, among other things, the wildly popular Photoshop application, have posted a PDF to their website which addresses the issue of software compatibility with the recently released Intel Macs. In the document, Adobe states that it will not be releasing Universal Binaries of their current Creative Suite 2 applications, nor its recently [...]
I tried launching Textmate from Quicksilver just now, but acted too quickly and Textpander’s Preference Pane popped open instead. A Happy mistake though, as it alerted me that version 1.2.2 is now available. And for all you new Core Duo owners, it’s a Universal Binary, so go grab it now.
If you aren’t familiar with [...]
We’ve all been there; the state that one encounters after ordering something from Apple, but before your new toy arrives. This horrible limbo-state can only be treated by constant checking of our order status. In the past, this required logging on to the Apple site, and refreshing the page over and over. Fortunately for those [...]
I feel like I’m drowning in photo applications lately - anyone else feeling the pressure on their chest also?
There’s been Aperture (though I haven’t sprung for that one just yet) in recent weeks/months, Adobe’s new Lightroom beta, iPhoto ‘06, and now I’ve got a copy of iView Media Pro 3 that I’m starting a [...]
“Slow cooked to perfection,” doesn’t seem too far off. I bought Path Finder back in it’s version 2 days, but abandoned it after a short while - it just wasn’t doing it for me. I’ve only just begun my playing with Path Finder 4, but I’m pretty sold already. I’ll get a [...]
The current iChat systems requirement prevent a PowerBook user to host a 3-person Video conference. We can participate in one, we simply can’t host one. One G4 processor just isn’t enough for that.
I’m now wondering whether it’s possible for a MacBook Pro user to host an iChat Video conference with 3 people.
Has somebody tried it? [...]
Found this over on Digg - Flip4Mac has a piece of software that makes Quicktime able to run Windows Media! And not just that, it’ll run .wmv’s in your browser as well. I’ve tested it out and it works great. What’s a hugely useful little app - I love stuff like this!
I’ll be getting iLife ‘06 sooner or later, but I’m not quite as jazzed about it as I was this time last year. Though the new iPhoto may have a potentially cool feature to it. RSS.
Now pictures over RSS feeds is nothing new at all. But iPhoto will now be syncing through [...]
A look back at Steve Jobs’s keynote presentation at MacWorld Expo San Francisco on 10 January 2006.
