I would kill for this hypothetical machine:
MacBook Nano
Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.0 GHz
2GB RAM
32 GB solid state hard drive
11 inch LCD @ 1280×800 resolution (16:10 ratio)
ExpressCard slot
iSight camera
mini-DVI out
USB 2.0 x2
6+ hours of battery life
Less than $3,000 USD
Note the lack of DVD drive, to save space. This thing should be small and light. [...]
In OS X Leopard (can’t confirm earlier versions), if you have a Finder window spanning multiple physical monitors or multiple virtual Spaces, or extending off the edge of any physical monitor, try dragging a file and dangling it over that Finder window. The Finder window will smoothly slide into the current physical monitor on the [...]
One of OS X Tiger’s most annoying bugs to me was that the zoom functionality was broken for multi-monitor setups. It’d work at first, but when you moved your mouse, it’d go all screwy. It was useless. I’m not sure if it was fixed in OS X Leopard or the 10.5.1 update — but it [...]
My wife and I were having a “yes” … “no” battle, and I was getting tired of saying “no” over and over again. So I typed a bunch of “no’s” into QuickSilver and invoked the “speak text” action. OS X Leopard’s “Alex” voice kicked in with a litany of “no’s.” And then about ten “no’s” [...]

I’ve been eyeing the Infrant ReadyNAS NV+ system to solve my ever-expanding appetite for storage space. I know the device can handle four 750GB drives for a total of 2.25 TB of space (RAID5), but can it handle four 1TB drives for a total of 3 TB of space? 1TB drives are expensive, [...]
I’ve found myself using Safari as my main browser. I love Firefox, but it’s too buggy and slow to be my main browser. One thing I miss is the Greasemonkey script that would forward me to https://mail.google.com/ when using GMail (giving me a secure connection — great when using WiFi).
Solution: Creammonkey + GMail [...]
Documents that end in RTFD are of the type Rich Text Format Directory. They’re basically rich text documents that support images.
Because they’re the native format of OS X’s TextEdit, they tend to be used for ReadMe files.
Hence this:
Because of this, and because of the extension’s similarity to RTFM, I always see them as: “Read [...]
Can someone make a Yahoo! Pipe that will omit posts from Boing Boing that mention the author of the post in the title?
I’ve found that 99% of the time, such posts are just the authors fluffing their personal projects.
