These are the programs that you will need: Quicksilver and a browser. Pretty simple, eh?
I doubt anyone who reads this blog does not know about TinyURL or other URL shorteners: snipurl, dwarfurl, and urlTea. I am sure there are others. I wanted to share with you how I shorten my URLs because I just recently [...]
Long ago, this post joked about the announcement by Apple to move to Intel chips.
