@gerrrg: Sweet tip! Thanx. This would be a great little thing to write a script for.
@skottles: This utility is a bit different. It kills the flash plugin if for some reason it won't exit on its own. You can install both because they do different things.
@Xagest - Fix Gawker with Gawker Plus: Not so fast. They say if you wear tight clothing you will deplete your energy. It doesn't follow that if you don't wear tight clothing you will have energy. This is the logical fallacy of denying the antecedent. But admittedly logic isn't as funny.
It can also screw up your alignment and for dudes it can mess up your boys. But then fashion flies in the face of common sense. Pain and inconvenience are the cost of cool consciousness. The benefits are exaggerated. Psychology Today is such a ridiculous rag for the status anxious. Dummies. (I guess I'm just being…
Clipmenu on the Mac is the way to go for a clipboard manager. I use the shortcut key instead of the menu icon myself, but you can choose.
Let's face it the huge financial interests in tea and coffee make it almost almost impossible to get any neutral science. I think most of it is pure hogwash. These beverages are probably not going to hurt you if you drink them in moderation and are not caffeine sensitive. You can drink more tea because it is generally…
@HeartBurnKid: Agent of R.O.A.C.H.: Of course you can directly interact with a running program with no windows. Menu bar works, and so do shortcuts.
I get it. My problem is that I would like the Windows behaviour which allows jumping by typing more than one character just like OS X but if you just want to jump to the next item in the list in Windows you just hit the same letter again and it goes to the next item in the list. It's an extra convenient feature OS X…
@HeartBurnKid: Agent of R.O.A.C.H.: Command q gives you the choice. OS X can allocate memory so it's not a worry. It seems puzzling at first but makes sense. If you have multiple windows open you want to be able to close windows (x) without shutting down the program. Windows handles this with the close menu item or…
They're wisely copying os x's gui more every release. Smart.
@vvaffle: The menu is great as long as you can set it to pop up on apps where you need true full screen. Apple learned this with iOS and hopefully we will see a setting to control the menu bar in Lion, but I doubt it. You can use a third party utility to set the menu behavior on an app by app basic currently in os x.…
@HeartBurnKid: Agent of R.O.A.C.H.: keeping programs running without windows can actually be pretty handy, once you get the hang of it. Why close out a program if you're on an operating system that can properly allocate resources. The reason you need to do that in Windows is clear.
Ok, does work with iOS. Just switch to HTML 5 version. Great find.
So it does or doesn't work with iOS? I'm confused.
Actually this brings up one of my OS X pet peeves. Ever notice when you jump to a place in a list using a letter key you can't keep hitting the same letter to go to the next item? I hate that. Windows's way of doing this makes way more sense. Hit the letter again after a short delay should jump to the next item. OS…
There's a pretty big difference between starting slowly and performing slowly or poorly. I personally am not worried about slow starting addons if they are otherwise well behaved. Addons that chew system resources, on the other hand, are a concern. It's good that Mozilla is getting on top of the addon problem. Addons…
I spoke too soon. I solved the problem. First, make sure FF4 opens in 32 bit mode, and then install the addon from this site [code.google.com] . Sweet!
I checked out FF4 on OS X, but left 3 because I suspected problems with essential addons. I was right, the addon that I was using to view PDF files using OS X's native support no longer works. The plugin is Firefox PDF Plugin for OS X. So basically FF4 now doesn't display inline PDF files using OS X's built in…
Looks interesting. Is this service free? There's also the iPhone app Streaks, and there's Advirtus, which I think was featured on LH some weeks ago.
