I love a good mac game post! Heading over to get my copy now :)

Re: Whither my apps?

I hadn't even thought of this in terms of switchers. Good grief. That would be annoying. Especially after all the ad hype to switch over. "I'm here.. My computer isn't a PC... What now??"

Would they then charge the stiff fees they charge now to become an iPhone developer? Or, enforce the same ludicrous standards re: "decency", etc? I don't know if the App Store is really my favorite model.

Maybe Nabil just needs a good feed-reader to stay in touch with this stuff? I don't keep up either, admittedly, but it doesn't seem to bug me. I spend most of my time working with the same three tools (browser, email, text editor) so I suppose I'm not that into checking out new apps. I have to say, though, this sentence: "What’s to stop me from actually purchasing a Netbook instead of a new Macbook the next time I need to make a change?", really resonated for me. I was *this* close to getting a Netbook to go with my iPhone 3G, but in the end was only prevented from doing so by the awful thought of having to use Windows (I wound up getting a new MacBook, which I LOVE). So, what am I saying? Well, I suppose for me OSX is enough. I can get my work done (mostly!) and I don't have the issues that Windows users have (constant viruses, spyware, ugly-ass OS). Maybe that's why Apple isn't working harder to give us access to new software: We're all just so happy to have a machine that works that we don't demand much more.

No process manager as yet. That was the killer feature I've been holding out for. Sigh.

No! Just got it done today :) Back in Illinois with my folks. That's my brother getting his done.

Thanks, Jon! Glad you like. It hurt.. I would describe it as... Mildly to severely uncomfortable ;)

And, yes, I have checked my spam folder. ;)

Sent through my email address a little while ago, but haven't received an email yet. :(

Anyway, the new version sounds great! Looking forward to trying out the ping.fm support, especially.

Keep up the good work.

Hey Vlasta, it's Brad. I made them! Not bad, eh? Love you and miss you! Xoxox

Srsly (no, that's not a typo either). I'm shocked that anyone who would consider "Orwell" as a possible substitute for "Rockwell" was even able to post a comment.

Your reference to a computer lab full of third graders could be, methinks, a possible clue to your a) current surroundings b) reading level or c) fantasy life. Either way, I don't think you're quite qualified to edit articles here.

Savings is no laughing matter! Heh. Really, though, it's a nice discount, don't you think??

Great insight, Josh! It's worth mentioning that EA already program for the iPod/iPhone (I play their Sudoku regularly on my old school iPod color). Big game vendors have traditionally been a key to success for a lot of other platforms, but I rather like your recipe as well; use the features that other handhelds can't do.

Re: Change any icon (mostly) that you want in Leopard

4fthawaiian — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 11:56:34 -0000

That software is a TAD out of date though. I wonder if it works in Leopard

Re: Change any icon (mostly) that you want in Leopard

Hey, nice tip. Thanks Mike.

I, and obviously Josh, like finding ways to do things with built-in software, but a little freebie like that is always welcome too!

Re: Change any icon (mostly) that you want in Leopard

4fthawaiian — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 11:54:35 -0000

I think both methods are effective, but the way Josh describes probably works a bit better (for instance, pasting into the get info window almost never preserves transparency).

I usually use "sudo killall -HUP Dock" to kill my dock in instances where I need it. Then again.. I'm terminally geeky. It is a nice way to get your dock restart in one command, though ;)

Bob! Thanks! I was going for thorough. I didn't think I'd ever write this many words for anything. I wish my 10th grade english teacher could see me now..

As for the CSS/IE post.. There probably aren't enough profanities to properly encapsulate my feelings on the topic. I'll need to wait for the lexicon of vulgarity to properly evolve :P
