Apple Finder tips

By default, Mac OS X’s Finder keeps system files – which generally start with a dot, like .trash – out of your sight.

But that makes editing these files extremely difficult or if you want to find one really hard.

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder

I never realised…

AOL Pictures

Techcrunch is bemoaning AOL Pictures relaunch. I think they are missing something though.

Flickr, photobucket, bubbleshare and others may well look slicker and have more intuitive UI but they simply do not have the userbase potential AOL has from the start.

You simply wouldn’t get the gems shown here on bubbleshare et al.

wee mee spreads like wildfire

wee mee in the buddy list
My buddy list has been over run recently with wee mee’s from http://aim.weeworld.com and it’s amazing how similar some people look. Not sure you can see here but three of the girls (fuzzed for privacy) look identical in their wee mee’s!
