Panic Desktastic 3 for Mac review

Have you ever dreamed of writing on the screen of your Mac OS? It would be handy to be able to leave a reminder, a gentle word or just use his computer screen as a single slate!

Well dream no more! It is now possible in Mac OS X!

Desktastic is a small utility that enables users to use the mouse as a brush directly on your desktop in Mac OS X. It therefore requires Rosetta to run. Hopefully an update Intel or UB. Its minimum system requirements Mac OS X 10.0 or higher.

Let me reassure you right away. It is not you bring your fat permanent marker and scribble on the surface of your screen! Admittedly, this would probably be very effective, but your screen may not resent... And you would call a "madman"!

The "Desktastic", a little shareware program that lets you use your screen in a very fun and very practical. By launching this application, your screen turns into a "magic slate"! You will be able to write, draw, color, scribble, make sketches or diagrams, in short everything that is possible with a "magic slate ".... And especially do not worry! You can clear everything a single click!

Let us look at it more closely. First, go to the web page editor Desktastic Mac HERE to download this small wonder thing that you can try free for 15 days (also look at the screenshots on this page of the publisher ...). Then you must pay the modest sum of approximately $12.95.

You can even save your scribblings as .Png and then use it to illustrate an email, web page or whatever you want ... You can also print your drawings and of course, if you have a tablet, it will be much easier to use this "virtual hat" to create beautiful designs or write more right! In short, here's something a little fun!

After Launching the application "Desktastic, there is a palette of some round buttons on the screen. It will be enough to click on these buttons and your mouse to grabouillis all you want.

What are these buttons?

* Draw Tool: draw directly on the desktop!
* Width: Stronger line? No problem.
* Text Tool: Type basic text, numbers, notes, etc.
* Opacity: More transparent? Solid? Piece of cake.
* Stamp Tool: Stamp any image all over the screen!
* Color: A pleasing palette of primaries.
* Eraser Tool: Don't worry - we all make mistakes.
* Draw-On-Top Toggle: Draw on top of all windows!

When you use Desktastic, you notice that you no longer have access to your icons, including icons of your scores! If this bothers you, you can define a "dividing line" that an area not covered by Desktastic. With your mouse cursor, you can move the dotted line at your convenience.
To display this line, go to Preferences and select "Use Desktop Separation Line", then click "OK".
You can also choose between two colors dotted line in the same preferences ("Separation line color").

1Password for Mac

1Password is an original software to develop an unlimited number of passwords, grouped under the protection of one. The principle is the same as the ring, much to the difference of integration with browsers, and management of multiple identities. What the keychain does not allow you .

1Password is a separate application. We must set a password (different from the session), and then we can create as many passwords not that memorable sites.

1Password will thus create a 2nd ring, encrypted, located in the keychain file from your library, which will allow synchronization and backup at the same time as the main bunch.

Each form is linked to a URL. It may well have multiple forms per page (for example, to use webmail when you have several mail boxes).
It is thus an anti-phishing tool, because if you're on a fake site, 1Password does not issue you a form.

1Password for IPhone/iPod Touch review

1Password is a free program that is appeared very quickly after the opening of the AppStore. 1Password can store passwords and other confidential data in a secure area protected by a password on your iPhone/iPod Touch.

The software is available on the iTunes Store until December 1 for $0.00 .

Remind that it is extremely dangerous to store passwords and other confidential codes in the application notes of the iPhone, which can be accessed by anyone if the iPhone is ready and worst lost!

So enjoy the free and I likes this software.

Copilot live iphone review

Copilot Live is such a program that tells you where to go to a specific place while driving and you will say out loud so you do not miss. That is, what is already more or less everyone knows as a "GPS".

The most important of these features is the program work that is synchronized correctly with the satellites, which the instructions are clear and precise, and finally we reach the desired place.

We have informally tested on a trip around one island, we have to a very pretty village in the northwest of the island from which ferries depart to Tenerife. We have not had any problems. Copilot Live has guided us perfectly there.

Copilot Live is a serious alternative to TomTom and Navigon, because it is cheaper and works well. Also not missing anything. The options are endless as you can see in the catch, here's some features:

* Voice guidance turn by turn
* Detailed maps stored on the iPhone
* Very clear view in 3D and 2D with variable zoom and street names
* Navigating to a house number, street, intersection or contact
* Automatic switching between portrait and landscape view
* Full preparation and preview travel
* Optimization of routes to multiple destinations
* Continuous guidance in tunnels and subways
* Automatic day/night
* Sailing to thousands of points of interest
* Displays traffic signals as they appear on the road

The only thing I liked the program is the menu navigation. There are many options and is easy to get lost in the meantime both menu and icon. In addition, the keyboard is not qwerty, typing becomes very uncomfortable, but fortunately in the next version update this detail, as they have in the program updates with maps of other countries.

Rat on the Run: nice platform iPhone Game

Rat On The Run for iPhone is a game of classic cut platforms with great gameplay and atmosphere.

The goal is to help an adorable little mouse to get pieces of cheese while avoiding the dangers. The operation couldn't be simpler. You just have to jump, because when the mouse starting to walk does not stop until it finds a stop sign. It is very well thought out.

It has the classic obstacles of this type of game, such as spiders falling from the ceiling or spikes coming out of the ground. To jump just press the screen anywhere. If pressed longer, the jump would be longer.

Includes an addictive game, 'Rat on the Scooter', where our little mouse goes on a motorbike, and we have to jump from platform to platform grabbing the pieces of cheese.

No objective, just try to endure as long as possible while accelerates, my record was 15 pieces of cheese, and have been hooked for a while.

Now it is a free games for a limited time.

Mini squadron iphone Game

ShopSavvy for iphone free Application

At last, after having been waiting a while, the owners of an iPhone can download and use the application ShopSavvy, a barcode scanner.

With the help of this application, we can find the best prices on the internet and the nearest shops which sell the products we are most interested.

To use the application ShopSavvy, nothing as simple as pointing the camera viewfinder of our iPhone on a bar code that accepts the standard UPC, EAN or ISBN.

After you start with scaning, ShopSavvy will immediately show all the shops where we can find the product and displays a comparative price list they have for that item in different stores online and offline.

If you choose the physical store which can be called directly, you can activate the GPS-distance and route to get there.

ShopSavvy can works both in the first generation iPhone and the 3G and the 3GS from the iphone apps store introduction.

I've downloaded it with no problem, but does not work in the iPhone 3G. Perhaps the problem lies with the camera, since it does not focus at all well, and it's impossible to tell how many stripes are there and the thickness of these.
Maybe it work well in Iphone 3GS.

little snitch mac review

Have you enabled a firewall on your mac os x 10.6? Do you feel so completely safe on the Internet? Maybe your snow leopard have a virus, an anti-spyware or an anti-spam, but you don't know. So some information out of your Mac are transmitted without your knowledge (with without your consent or elsewhere) to others via the Internet! What is this information? Mostly it is information of some applications you have installed on your beautiful Mac!

Little Snitch is a small program that will protect you against these intolerable intrusion into your privacy. This little program effectively controls everything that leaves your computer to a network such as the Internet. It is Compatibility with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, 10.5 Leopard and 10.4 Tiger.

It detects any attempt to effect "abnormal" connection on specific port when an Internet connection and notify you immediately with a warning window. And then you can decide if you accept the communication data or not!

As we know, Little Snitch is not a antivirus software which can prevent, detect, and remove malware, including computer viruses, worms, and trojan horses. Unlike some programs such as "clamxav snow leopard" or "MacScan" that detect and neutralize malicious programs from outside (internet) and installed without your knowledge on your Mac os, Little Snitch controls all outgoing connections from your Mac, What you can control, and whether to allow these connections. It is a tool that provides a necessary complement.

Little Snitch costs about €25, but you can test it for free in demo mode. In demo mode, the application will stop after three hours and you must restart your Mac! If you had a serial number for version1 of "Little Snitch", you can upgrade it for just about €10.

Once the software is downloaded, simply double click the installer to enable the installation of "Little Snitch" (It will ask for your administrator password).

Regarding the setting, it is always possible to immediately create additional rules itself in "Little Snitch", but I will leave this option for more experienced users. To use both optimal and simplified, it is best to leave "Little Snitch" to do everything himself! It's so simple that it will learn by yourself what are the connections allowed or not!

For that is the Tiger, the login screen in Mac OS X 10.4 screen displays as the following image: Library/Desktop Pictures/AquaBlue.jpg. For this reason, any image in that folder will be displayed on the login.

* Use PHP on your Mac OS X 10.4

Sometimes you need to use PHP, for example when we test our website.Therefore, we must do the following:

Once you have selected, drag it to the terminal before the command you just wrote.
Press Enter and you are all completed.

However, as we were counting from the end of last May, was expected, almost certainly, Apple unveiled its new iPhone.

It has already been baptized with the technical name of iPhone 3.0S, and apparently, this new terminal will be twice as fast as his "little brother", and will turn a video camera integrated.

One of the technical features which has attracted the attention of the users is known as "voice control", which would use the phone using only your voice, without using the touch screen.

Also, apparently supports the downloading of large amounts of multimedia content in half the time than its predecessor, according to Apple itself has said.

An increasing number of users of Safari on PC

Although Safari still has a very small presence in the PC world, the statistics start to change.

With Safari 3.0, Apple had a constant 0.07% of users, but with Safari 3.1 the numbers have risen to 0.21%.

It is clear that Apple has to keep working hard to try to dent Internet Explorer and Firefox, which grows daily dretimento browser in Windows.

I land on the Mac using the latest beta of Firefox 3, but for some pages that have a problem, throw in Safari.

IPhone 2.2 and Google Street View

As we all know, technology is advancing by leaps and bounds and follow it is a task that Apple has decided to do since birth, either in terms of hardware and software, and has been doing steadily, which has earned its reputation .

It is for that reason that the firm has already begun to make the distribution of the beta 2.2 firmware for its iPhone, with several changes and improve upon the version that preceded it, which we had seen several changes, such as spaces separate searches in the address bar in Safari browser interface.

In this new version, continue forward and you can see changes as the expected inclusion in the Google Streetview Maps application that brings the iPhone. But at the same time it is presumed that the SDK supports audio input through a line input or line-in ".

Likewise, bloggers are a bit unhappy because Apple is not included in this version the function to be able to "copy & paste" or copy and paste while using the operating system, while the ability to reproduce and use Flash in Safari.

While Apple is moving in the right direction by adding various improvements and popular applications, users no longer know how to reach the company needs to have in these two aspects as important.

Cycorder: Application to record video on iPhone

Another of the great disappointments of the iPhone launch was its lack of video recording. There was already an occasional application for recording video on the terminal, but the advent of firmware 2.0 and changing the Installer version, made many of these applications were lost.

However, applications began to appear on the iPhone: Cycorder is a very good video recorder with a more than acceptable quality at a good rate ... but for now, it still does not record sound.

The interface is very minimalistic and has a screen where you see the videos you've recorded previously. Depending on the ambient light, we can record videos up to 15 fps, and is encoded at once, so we have to wait for post-processing the video once recorded.

To install it, come into Cydia to the tab "Search" and search by program name: Cycorder.

Change the root password on the iPhone, the danger of worms

Charlie Miller, a leading expert in the field of security of Mac

and lately known for discovering the bug for the safety of SMS on

the iPhone, has said that people who have the iPhone with the

Jailbreak done, you should seriously worry from time.

"Miller admitted that the security created by Apple is very

efficient, and it's really hard to get on a phone, but the

Jailbreak has destroyed all these protections, which allows any

user the ability to create worms, as it turned up these last days.

"
For this reason, Miller, announced that in the coming months may

witness a rise in attacks on all iPhones that have performed the

Jailbreak.

So to increase the security of your iPhone is desirable to change

the password (pasword), the iphone is by default, to enter in your

root SSH (root).

For those who want to make the change (I have already done ...),

nothing else has to follow these instructions:

* Install the Mobile Terminal from Cydia through the repository

Telesphoreo Tangelo (of Saurik)
* Open Mobile Terminal and put the following commands:
su root (intro)
alpine (intro)
passwd (intro)

* We will then appear the following:
"Changing password for root"

* We ask you to put the new Pasword, we put ... (intro)
* Now we ask you to repeat, what we throw ... (intro)
* Once we have already made the change password
* We need only remember because if you ever use the Terminal.

Change password SSH from Terminal

Much has been said lately about the security of the iPhone with

the Jailbreak done. A major security problems is that we usually

leave the password "alpine" when we installed the SSH, which would

allow anyone to steal a little hustler and modify files to your

antonjo.

Therefore we will explain how to change the password:

1.Go to Cydia MobileTerminal.
2.Open MobileTerminal.
3.Tecleamos (without quotes): "su". if you do not work try "login

root".
4.Introducimos now password "alpine".
5.Ahora type: "passwd".
6.Y then we put the password you want and we give the key "enter".

To change the password to the mobile user (ie so that the iPhone

is even more secure):

1.Open MobileTerminal.
2.Ahora type: "passwd".
3.y then we put the password you want and we give the key "enter".
And we will have the new password and our iPhone will be more

secure.

Emulate iPod Classic from iPhone or iPod Touch

The multimedia capabilities of Apple products are well recognized as an excellent interaction between devices of the brand, so many software developers spend their days working to create quality applications.

Two of these developers, called Emilio Pelaez and Christian Baroni, in the programming and graphics respectively, are working to give life to iClassic project, which is an emulator for iPod Classic for iPhone and iPod Touch.

This application is also able to index and review of the iPhone music library as a whole, which is what ultimately makes the iPod Classic.

Similarly, developers have reported they are not looking for a way to play video with this same application, so this would only be counting on the ability to play music so far and further notice.

This application that emulates the features of the iPod Classic with its graphical interface would be sent for sale on the App Store and Cydia Store in short time and the modest price of $ 1.99 so we can all enjoy it.

However, it is expected to be a controversy as to whether Apple would not allow such applications, or emulate their products in other devices, but users also have Cydia jailbreak for this type of situation.

Therefore be quite difficult to see in the App Store iClassic in our opinion, but will undoubtedly be one of the most popular iPod applications.

Update to Leopard Cause Blue screen

Before yesterday, when I was upgrading from Tiger to Leopard I had a more or less unpleasant incident ... Once the installation was completed successfully and rebooted the system, a nice blue screen gave me the 'welcome'.

Fortunately I had the most important files to another hard disk, if not ...
I thought it would be just my thing and should be simply to bad luck, but apparently there are many more people with this problem. The cause seems clear, and the blue screen on Leopard because Tiger had something 'retouched'.

For my part all I had was some icons of the modified system and Leopard was 'cock a mess' upgrading.

If you have applications such as Application Enhaced (users would blame mostly) save your data before upgrading.

Mac OS X Update 10.5.1

Apple today launched the first update to Leopard. In less than 1 month of Apple workers have been the batteries to further polish to Leopard.

The update comes Cargadito and are involved: Airport, Disk Utility, iCal, Mail, Print, Web, Firewall, Time Machine, Spotlight and other system upgrades.

Perhaps the biggest improvement and most remarkable is that Mac OS X 10.5.1 addresses the issue of data loss when moving files on partitions in the Finder.

It's funny how Apple's note of the update refers to this ruling as a 'potential problem'
The update weighs 39,8 MB and is available in Software Update.

The update to 10.5.1 I have not solved any of the bugs that suffered and still suffers from my iMac G5 has been a total disappointment, do not say things that are not have been solved, but my team will suffer the same or worse:

Disk Utility should withdraw the estimated time served for 1 minutes left to say when they are 15! The files with permission issues have switched from typical and single ARD Agent.app a huge list.

I still can boot the operating system on a disk via firewire boot disk (this has always worked perfectly in Tiger).

Connects to Windows computers automatically when it chooses not therefore appear in the Finder, and when it does or forces you to detect PCs still says connect as Guest.

Quick Look plugin that displays the contents of directories

Quick Look is a feature of Leopard that more use. It's tremendously useful that you can view the content of images, PDFs, text files ... without having to open the particular program that opens it. You save much time.

While it is true that home, Quick Look is not perfect. When you type 'space' (the key to activate Quick Look) on a directory only shows the directory name, date modified and little else.

Luckily a plugin that has left us with a list of the contents of a directory in Quick Look very detailed. Even gives us the opportunity to show hidden files

Installation:

1. Download the plugin here

2. Folder .qlgenerator file inside /Library/QuickLook/
3. Go to the Finder and you click on a directory

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi for iTunes

If you like the company Creative, as surely know, one of the companies (I said one) best known in the field of development and manufacturing of audio cards of a certain quality, then you're in luck.

And if you like Creative, also has a Mac (although it is not required), and with some regularity normally use Apple's iTunes application, then you're even more.

To our knowledge these days thanks to the UberReview portal, Creative section for testing and developing new products, Creative Labs, have brought to sell a product that, among other things, would seek to address the current Apple Airport Express.

Following the popular Soundblaster sound cards, the company has submitted the Sound Blaster X-Fi for iTunes, a transmitter which, as its name implies, has been specially designed for use with iTunes.

This transmitter USB allows audio streaming from our present to any team we have in our home (or workplace) connected to a wireless receiver that, incidentally, will be sold separately.

It features X-Fi technology, which ensures a higher quality when playing MP3 files, and this transmitter can be used seamlessly with, for example, TS20W Gigaworks speakers.

South Park will come soon to your iPhone

If you are a follower of the popular innate South Park, and also has an iPhone, then we have a very good news for you.

Other issues will be a program compatible with the iPhone which can be downloaded on iTunes, and allow the user to access a wealth of resources.

For example, downloading video clips, news, wallpapers, pictures ... and much more content.

For now we can enjoy only a demonstrative image of this application, we "help" to get an idea of some of its salient features.

Moreover, we have to wait a bit, since the application in question will not be available on iTunes for another time.

Apple Rejects Google Voice App

Although it may seem a bit unbelievable, today we have learned that Apple has decided to remove all applications from the App Store based on Google Voice technology, without considering that some were already on sale from just weeks ago, or even had been previously approved.

As surely know, Google Voice allows the United States have a single telephone number associated with so many different numbers we want, and divert calls from one terminal to another or even block nuisance calls.

It is true that the service is in beta since Google bought nearly two years ago the company that developed it, GrandCentral.

In any case, users who were able to use it, however, had made only positive reviews to the same, and in fact we can find versions designed for Android or BlackBerry.

However, the excuse that Apple has to try to justify this elimination is that the double features of the iPhone application, which could confuse users.

However, since other sources Applesfera.com our colleagues, have raised the possibility that the real cause may be the pressure exerted by the operator AT & T at the prospect of losing control of their customers because of Google.

Is it possible that Apple could reconsider the decision and allow this application may be available through the App Store? Time will tell ... but we think it is very difficult.

The European Commission forced Apple to limit the volume of their devices

Now the European commission has published a new effective way in the European Union, from which the company will force Apple to reduce the maximum volume of their players to a somewhat more "safe" for hearing health users.

This measure does not affect devices that are already on the market, and that Apple should have changed, but that deal only with the next and future releases.

This new standard is born with a clear objective: to try to reduce hearing damage caused different music media players with a considerably high.

And less, therefore, the consequences of the same on all users, which according to various studies and investigations undertaken, affecting between 5 and 10% of people (approximately 10 million users).

Elaborating a bit more in this new standard, it states that you should not listen to music at 80 decibels beyond 40 hours a week.

That yes, the sound at 85 decibels will not hear more than 5 hours a week, something that many people fail as we can see in places as crowded as a market or a bus.

We'll have to wait awhile to see how this measure is taken in society, and whether or not actually have the "incidence" that really should have.

MiniMail 2 compatible with Snow Leopard

MiniMail, the plug-in for Mail is available in a new version and the transition becomes consistent with Snow Leopard. MiniMail can track the arrival of new messages and read their content in small windows less cumbersome than the browser in Mail. We may also request that this window is always displayed on top of others.

This window is not just view the messages, the main actions are met in a pop-up menu: deletion, forwarding, flag, reply, etc.. Two icons will also create a new post or start over from the accounts. And support on the space bar to launch a look on attachment.

Besides the compatibility with the 10.6, MiniMail 2 may show multiple small windows on the screen - and not just one - corresponding to as many boxes as you choose (on active MiniMail by clicking the green button discount window). It seemed however that this option worked randomly. The MiniMail demo is limited to 30 days.

A Virus for Mac OS X

However, the user is warned that "an alien killed a file is deleted. The user is not caught unawares," the site analysis.

A few days ago, the Cupertino company, Apple said that installing Mac OS X on PC was not a thing to do. Indeed, the hackintosh is becoming more widespread, it is simply to put Mac OS X on any PC. Apple openly expressed his hostility towards the users of these modified PC.

Changing Apple applications icons

I installed Snow Leopard today on a Mac Mini. Installing without worries.
By cons, many of my preferences (particularly in terms of appearance) were changed. As the icons of Apple applications.
Only problem is that since I installed Snow Leopard, I can not change their icons as I did before.
My method was simple: Opening a png with Preview / copy, open information application / selection of the icon and paste.
But, I can not copy directly with Preview (the feature is grayed out, or it should select the image with the right tool), and I can not paste on ALL Apple applications.
So I find myself with a dock or only the applications Apple is impossible to change.
Someone an idea?

To change the icons of the Apple applications (Safari, Mail, iTunes, etc ...):

1. Find the original icon (right click on the text / display the package contents / Contents / Resources)
2. The icon has a. Icns (*)
3. Copy and paste the icon into a backup folder to be able to recover in case.
CAUTION:
The icon should replace the original should be mandatory in. Icns (**), and have the same name (be careful with uppercase and lowercase)
4. Rename your new icon.
5. Click on the icon to select it, then cmd + c (copy)
6. Cmd + v (paste) into the Resources folder of the application (authenticate if requested)

(*) Names of some icons of origin:
For iTunes: iTunes.icns
For Safari: compass.icns
Mail To: app.icns
QuickTime X QuickTimePlayerX.icns

Add a button to eject the CD/DVD from the taskbar/menu

The mania that has buttons on the Apple patent is somewhat long, in fact, the first Macintosh did not include a button to eject the floppy, so that was done by software.

Luckily offer many options to eject the CD and DVD. It can be done using the keyboard, dragging the disk to the trash by right clicking on the disk, etc. from the Finder. That is, for options will not be. But besides all that, there is a more interesting from the taskbar.

To activate a button "remove" from the taskbar, we need to access the path:

System > Library > CoreServices > Menu Extras

Once we are in this menu, you have to run the file "Eject.menu . Once done, this will activate a new button from which we can eject any disc inserted in our Mac SuperDrive.

The flash pummel the autonomy of the iPhone

Supporting flash is one of the main spots of the iPhone. Indeed, the Apple phone is unable to display Flash content either in Safari or via a dedicated application. Six months ago, Adobe has posted a beta of Flash for iPhone at Apple. Problem, use the flash would reduce the autonomy of the iPhone within 40 minutes.

The Cupertino company has kindly repackaged Adobe explaining that the flash was too resource-intensive. Apple teams have advised their counterparts in Adobe exploit the GPU of the iPhone much more effective intensive tasks before clear guide to Adobe a dedicated application. Obviously, the support of flash a dedicated application has much less interest.

On the one hand, the view of Apple is justifiable since the company does not sealing performance and autonomy of the phone due to flash on the other hand, one wonders how other phones ( HTC, Samsung, etc..) running Windows Mobile or Android to support the flash ...

Set the fan speed of your Mac OS X

Mac OS X includes an automatic fan depending on the temperature of the machine. If your Mac seems overly warm, you can still exercise greater control over the fans with the appropriately named fancontrol.

Once installed, the application is lodged in System Preferences. Fancontrol does not replace the system completely automatic control of fans (which could cause major stability problems), but can still change the speed of the fan base, and the trigger of those latter . Three sliders are available for this, and a graph can observe their effect visually.

From overclock "virtual" Mac

Mac OS 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 (not tested under 10.2), it is possible to easily change the information in "About this Mac", visible in the Apple menu in the top left of your screen. This information is on the CPU frequency (in MHz or GHz depending on your processor) and the amount of installed RAM (in MB or GB). Thus, for example, can change a processor PPC G4 1Ghz cons an Intel Core 2 Duo 2 ggz, and move the RAM to 512MB to 4GB with a few clicks!

Firstly, we must find the file that contains this information, then go to the folder
/System/Library/CoreServices
and view the contents of the package "loginwindow". Then, with TextEdit, open the file "AboutThisMac.string" (remember to make a copy of this file before editing) located in Contents/Resources/English.lproj.
It is he who provides information of interest. To change the processor on a computer with a single processor, look for the line where is written "ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "%@";

Here you can put instead of% @ of the information you want. If your Mac has an overall dual-processor, it will find the line "ABOUT_BOX_MULTIPLE_PROCESSORS_FIELD_FORMAT" = "%@";

The line "ABOUT_BOX_MEMORY_FIELD_FORMAT" = "% @% @"; control information on the amount of RAM. Replace% @% @ in what you want.

Obviously, we do expect to see performance increase our Mac;) But the handling at least had the merit of making us better aware of the intricacies of our preferred system, or even impress friends.

How to Create Smart Folder in MAC OS

Apple has seen fit to create a new file type, the Smart Folder. These records allow individuals to maintain real time status of research.

One could compare it to some sort of automated script.

If you need to instantly find a specific document type, or a series of files regardless of the location on your disk, you must then use this function.

It is accessed via the Finder's File menu -> New Smart Folder or Shortcut

Option + Command + N

A window opens, it is similar to a search window, then it suffices to indicate the search criteria, using the search function at top left.

By clicking on the little "+" below the search area expanded menu opens up allowing you to limit your search to specific types of content, dates of last opened or modified, the name or much more clicking Other.

The latter choice opens a list of attributes to search very long extending from the email address corresponding to a number of document pages.

We must also tell it to record what he should do his research.

The "This mac" scans all disks present and operational at the time of research, but also beyond.

Indeed, if we plug an external drive after setting the smart folder, and that research is done on "This Mac", the external drive will also be involved in research.

Once the search attributes and areas of research indicated, it can send its Smart Folder by clicking Save.

A window opens asking for the name and location of the Smart Folder. It must then click Save.

Now your Smart Folder is operational and programmed to perform your search instantly.

Write on a NTFS partition in Snow Leopard

Nyxem just published a very interesting information. Writing to an NTFS partition was originally activated in the beta versions of Snow Leopard. But this feature was disabled in the final version (probably a rights issue with Microsoft, author of the NTFS file system).

However, there is a way to re-write NTFS on Mac OS X Snow Leopard through the terminal while waiting for someone so small software to enable easy.

Open the terminal located in Applications/Utilities
Then find the UUID of the partition with this command:

diskutil info/Volumes/nom_de_la_partition

Copy the UUID
Create or edit the fstab:

ls /etc/ | grep fstab (to check if the file exists)
cp /etc/fstab~/Desktop/ (to make a copy on the desktop)

Edit the document using the command:

sudo nano/etc/fstab

Add the following line:

UUID = uuid_de_la_partition none ntfs rw

or if you do not find the UUID

LABEL = nom_de_la_partition none ntfs rw

Save the file and restart to apply changes.
