Pimp your Mac
bicoastal March 9th, 2007
Today I tricked out someone’s Mac. Here’s what I taught her/installed:
Command-Tab - Switch between applications with ease.
Quicksilver - pixie sticks for your fingertips
Isolator - block everything else out and focus on your writing
Dictionary - do you really know the meaning of “irony”?
Address Book & iCal - replace Palm Desktop
iSync - sucks to be out of sync
BluePhoneElite - get calls, sms during class
Firefox search engines - add new search engines to the search box
Mail - LDAP directories, and download your Gmail into a POP account
Netvibes - best RSS reader on the web
Del.icio.us - social bookmarking and the Firefox plug in
Adium - instant message with your friends on different networks
VLC Media player - play all video formats from the pre-YouTube era
Cocktail - a healthy mac is a happy mac…
Carbon Copy Cloner - …until it dies and you have no backup
NERDWOOD!
Am I missing anything?
