AppleScript: Control your Mac with an e-mail {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Apr 8th 2008 9:53AM I used to do this as well, but I set mine up to open up iChat and initialize a screen sharing session with me. There were rules that only I would know and it would have to come from 1 or 2 emails.
Now I just use iChat and have it set to automatically accept my screen sharing request.
I would also send an email to myself if I forgot to quit my email at the office. I have emails to automatically delete off the server. If my mail program opened checked my mail, I wouldn't be able to check new mail at the office.
Now since iChat, I always keep my Mail app on at the office and when I connect from my home computer I can still check my email.

Jan 31st 2008 10:44AM Measuring something on screen doesn't happen often. And when it does, you don't need a program to do it.
Hold in Apple / Shift / 4 and your cross hair comes up. Click and drag on anything you want to measure and it gives you on screen measurements. It will create an image of what you just captured, but that can easily be thrown in the trash. Hassle, maybe, but I measure on screen rarely, and when I do, a couple of seconds to throw my screen shot in the trash doesn't bother me.

Jan 10th 2008 11:51AM Sorry guys, the reality is, there is no need for a law like this. The problem is not the responsibility of the government to stop people from doing stupid stuff, like walking into traffic without looking.
No matter how enthralled you are in your music, you always look at street crossings. Legislation isn't going to get to the root of the problem.... Teaching kids to act and think responsibly.

Dec 20th 2007 10:46AM I absolutely love Safari. It is simple and I like simplicity.
One thing that I have noticed, though, is Safari has it's quirks. Sometimes, it is very sluggish and behaves weirdly. I have tried many browsers and I always revert back to Safari.
Recently, it seemed as Safari was really starting to slow me down. So my home computer now has Flock and my work computer has Camino. I really like both of these programs a lot. They are fast.
That being said, with the newest Leopard update, my Safari is running faster that it has in a long time, and I am extremely pleased with it again. So I find myself switching between Safari and Camino and Flock.
Mac OS X 10.5.2 is packing hefty fixes, due January-ish {Engadget}
Dec 20th 2007 10:33AM I have:
Intel Mac Mini w/ Leopard
G5 Mac w/ Leopard
PowerBook w/Tiger
HP Pavilion Running XP
Gateway Laptop Running Vista Home
1. Intel Mac Mini
Great for day to day stuff with light graphic use / Very little problems. I don't think this computer has ever crashed on me
2. G5
I use it for all my video editing / audio / Web design / Graphic Design / This computer has crashed from time to time. Crash isn't the word, more like locked up. Most of the time, I've found it was a Microsoft product, a font issue or a corrupted preference file that needed to be deleted. Now with Leopard, it has never crashed. If something doesn't go right, it will shut down the software. If you can relaunch it, it runs fine. If you cannot, you do need to restart the computer.
3. Macbook
Again, very little problems, running it very much like the Mac Mini
4. HP
I had bought it not too long ago from a computer store. It was used, but was running XP. I have a couple other computers that could be considered equally bad to this. Partly this is my fault. I let my kids download stuff and didn't realize the many viruses, spyware and exploits. After a major crash due to spyware, I had to reinstall XP. Now I am running multiple creditable spyware programs and a solid virus protection software. It seems to be running better now. By far, the NT system I used (for me) was the most solid and protected PC.
5. Gateway
I know it's Home edition, but come on. I've got 2 G's of Ram in this thing and the processor speed is over 2Ghz, and it runs Vista like a dog. I really would like to convert the machine over to an XP machine, but don't know if I want to fork over another amount of $$ to install it on the system. It looks nice, but Safari Beta works better than IE. That's not a lie. It's a completely new system, very few installs, clean Vista install and still runs like a 10 year old computer bogged down and never cleaned. Huge disappointment.
And that's my story, I'm sticking to it.

Sep 27th 2007 11:56AM Adrian, I have the same problem. You can click and drag it up to see the bottom list. It definitely needs a scroll on it. Other than that, it's a great widget.
