Re: I am really starting to HATE iTunes & Photos - 5 weeks ago
Two thumbs up. I couldn't agree more. A good sign of bad UI is when every time you open the app, your blood pressure rises. I feel this every time I use iTunes and Photo. Example: I do a search in Photo for a name "Barb" in all 14,000 images. It's impossible. Instead, it gives me a dropdown menu choice. Do you mean in the Title? In the Name? In the location? In the Keywords? Howby tuqqer - Tips and Deals

Re: Acer 34-inch curved monitor drops to $549 - 5 weeks ago
I would like to sit in front of one of these, and see how it feels. I'm a long-time user of dual monitors. As Lew Zealand said, I toe them in a bit. I actually tape the backside with a couple pieces of black duct tape, to prevent them separating. I'm really tall, so I also have them on a 5" monitor stand. I've often thought of getting one of those dual monitor stands, to only have one seby tuqqer - Tips and Deals

To add spaces in your dock, go to terminal and type in defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add "{'tile-type'='spacer-tile';}"; killall Dock That will get a single space in your dock. You can arrange it or remove it like a normal app in your dock. The only difference is that it's invisible. If you want more spaces, simply type that code into terminal again.

Love that app. Do note that Malwarebytes won't completely strip out all the files that MacKeeper installs.

Fortunately, I've memorized the process of removing that invasive and de-stabilizing malware so many times, it only toby tuqqer - Tips and Deals

In the days of laptops and cell/pads, really nice full keyboards are a bit of a throwback. But man, for those who live at their desks, it's a thing of beauty when you get a damn good one. Apple's current wired one is a brilliant design, so having it wireless will be a nice surprise.
