To see the "Mail Activity" window, just click on the arrow in the lower left corner (2nd button from the

In the Firefox preferences, you can change that to Gmail (website), Yahoo Mail (website), or another application.

    • ]]>     As you might know if you read my Tweets, my internet connection is not always as great as it should be and watching previews on iTunes doesn’t really work well, because unlike YouTube when the buffers runs out, iTunes just closes the preview window and returns to the information page. I finally figured out how to fix this problem in the iTunes preferences. It is under "Advanced","Streaming

You can enable an additional "Quit Finder" menu item in the Finder menu. It is totally different than the "Force Quit Finder" feature that will quit the Finder and relaunch it immediately. This will actually quit the Finder ant it won’t relaunch until you load it by clicking on

    • ]]>     The Leopard version of Mail added the "Stationery" feature. One thing that isn’t obvious about how to use the feature is if you have selected a stationery, how do you remove it to go back to a text only email. Here is how:1. Once you clicked "Show Stationery", choose the "Stationery" category.2. Click on "Original". Mail will switch back to the text only template.Don’t forget to update your

    • ]]>     The latest 0.9.3 update to Handbrake modified the way Audio Tracks are handled. You can now keep up to four audio tracks. I really like this feature because an advantage DVD had over H.264 QuickTime videos was the multiple languages. You can now decide to keep multiple tracks and multiple languagues. The default track is automatically set at 160 kbps, but additional tracks default at 128 kbps

    • ]]>     ForkLift is one of the best Mac applications for FTP and it just got better with the last update (update 1.6). The 1.6 update added "Color labels" like in the Finder. Of course, "Color labels" are a feature of OS X, so that feature won’t be available if you are accessing a Linux or Windows server.Don’t forget to update your bookmarks, download the new widget and check out the new website at
