"Only" 65.1 MB for me.
I don't think you can upload video on an edge connection...
Grindcore,

Try Spark: http://www.shadowlab.org/Software/spark.php

I LOVE this program, with it I can replace the keyboard lighting buttons for expose/clear screen, while maintaining the volume and brightness control. Also, I now have play/pause/next on my keyboard :D


Spark is a powerful, and easy Shortcuts manager. With Spark you can create Hot Keys to launch applications and documents, execute AppleScript, control iTunes, and more...
You can also export and import your Hot Keys library, or save it in HTML format to print it.
Spark is free, so use it without moderation!
...I accidently clicked the post button...

As I was saying, it's no longer in development [and the last version released contained a PPC rar file].

Once you've downloaded the app, right click it, Show Package Contents, Contents, Resources; and replace the old rar file with the latest UB rar file from RARLAB :D

Exactly what I was gonna say :-)

To create rars, the best program I've found is SimplyRAR.
You can get the *last* version here: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21430

The app itself is Universal, but the rar unix file is PPC
Simon's question on the documents folder has also bothered me a lot. Here's my workaround to it:
Create a "Documents" folder in the Documents folder! (It's really more like "My Documents" since you manage the folder yourself, but it reminds me of Windows). And now remove the current Documents folder from the sidebar and replace it with this one, replace the stack too, if you have one.
To make it look even better, Get Info on both folders and cmd-C and cmd-V the icon.
"Still, people will complain, just as they did when column view was added to the Finder. "
WTF? Column View is AWESOME.
I just wish I could make it default.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
