Infiniti Aims to Crash-Proof the Minivan:

…let’s face it: Most people suck at driving and can use all they help they can get.

I’ll say it again: why send a man (or woman) to do a machine’s job?

PNG that works:

If you’ve only ever used Photoshop, you may believe that this type of PNG cannot exist. In reality it’s just Photoshop’s PNG support lacking.

Useful Stacks for your Dock

Thu, 29 Mar 2012 12:07:04 +0100

Using the following terminal command, you can easily add a stack of recently used items to your Dock:

defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add '{ "tile-data" = { "list-type" = 1; }; "tile-type" = "recents-tile"; }'

You can enter this as many times as you like to create additional items.

You can then right-click on the Stack to customize what it displays.

I created two of these, and configured one to show ‘Recent Documents’ and the other to show ‘Recent Applications’.

Here’s the really neat part: the following command enables you to choose whether Stacks display in Grid (traditional) or List view (new).

defaults write com.apple.dock use-new-list-stack -bool YES

I prefer List for Recent Documents, and Grid for Recent Applications.

Lastly, remember to restart the Dock using the following command for the new features to appear:

killall Dock

DiffMerge not working after updating to XCode 4.3?

Fri, 17 Feb 2012 13:30:05 +0000

DiffMerge not working after updating to XCode 4.3?:

If after updating to XCode 4.3, FileMerge or other tools aren’t working for you, be sure to update your xcode reference:

After Installing Xcode 4.3 and removing previous Xcode versions DiffMerge is not found. I fixed this by running the following shell command:

sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Thanks andyo!
