quicksilver: also makes julienne fries

by sbrothier & 30 others
At first glance, Quicksilver is a launcher. Command Window When opened, it will create a catalog of applications and some frequently used folders and documents. Activate it, and you can search for and open anything in its catalog instantly. The search is adaptive, so Quicksilver will recognize which items you are searching for based on previous experience. It also supports abbreviations, so you can type entire words, or just fragments of each. When not in use, Quicksilver vanishes, waiting for the next time you summon it.

Mac Mini for Mom

by sbrothier
My Mom’s old EMachines Win98 box wasn’t actually broken, but it was tough to support remotely and the camera-company software that came with her digicam was really lame. So I ordered her a Mac mini and now it’s up and running. This gave me a (rare) chance to watch the OS X experience through a novice’s eyes.

Un utilitaire sur mac pour gérer sa bibliothèque de livres, dvd, etc. Et le méga truc c'est qu'il lit les codes barres grâce à une simple webcam et il va rechercher instantanément toutes les infos du produit sur amazon :D
