The changing life and times of Leopard {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Feb 14th 2008 7:46AM So when are they going to start tweaking Spaces? Apple's Own™ can't hold a candle to VirtueDesktops which had many more features, and Beryl for Linux is even better! You'd think that if they're going to implement a multiple desktop feature, they'd want to make it as flashy as possible. I use spaces on a daily basis, but I'd switch back to VirtueDesktops in a second as it was far easier to use and customize.
Anybody know about any good Spaces add-ons out there?

Nov 19th 2007 9:54AM Question for next week:
My University's G5 (running 10.3) greeted us this morning with all of the fonts replaced by a strange character. It will display text in some boxes, but not on the menu bar or the desktop, etc. I can't really explain it, so I took a screenshot:

I've checked to make sure all the fonts are in the right place; they are (and seeing as you can read text in some instances, I know everything is where it should be)... so what's going on? How do I make it stop? I've been fixing Macs for close to 10 years now and this has me stumped!

Disk Inventory X - it shows you the entire contents of your hard drive and how much space each file takes up. We live by this at my University TV station, where we use it to find all the large scratch files newbies have somehow hidden away to odd places on the hard drive/network.
Mac 101: Whip your widgets into shape {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Nov 2nd 2007 5:59AM Ditto to Dave: I've removed the Widgets thingamabob from the Dock, and left it with no assigned hot-keys. On the off chance I need a widgety thing, I use the ones on my Google homepage. Sacreligious? Probably. I don't mind.
TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway Day 13: an iPhone {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Aug 29th 2007 6:43PM Would make a great replacement for my 3G iPod, which just gave up the ghost last night after flawless performance since I got it!
Microsoft Office 2008 for the Mac delayed until January 2008 {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Aug 2nd 2007 9:44AM Whenever MS gets around to punting out office '08, I'll still be using NeoOffice, which runs dandy on my MBP, can save documents in .doc format for my MS-tethered friends, and has the low low price of nothing at all. Given all these advantages over Office, I have a hard time being excited or even interested in what Microsoft is doing.
