    UPDATE: Please be very sure to backup the notes file before you do this and be sure this is only used on Mountain Lion.

  • OS X Mountain Lion is Coming this Summer

    It looks like Apple can never run out of surprises for us. When the whole world is busy speculating on rumors around iPad 3, Apple announced that the next version of their OS X, Mountain Lion is coming this Summer. If Lion was 1st base between iOS & OS X, Mountain Lion is pretty close…

  • Make Your MacBook Hibernate Instead of Sleep [Lion/Snow Leopard]

    By default, MacBooks are configured to sleep when you close the lids. This means it shuts down everything but provides little bit of power to the RAM so that the state is maintained as is. Once you open the lid, everything is restored as is. In case you leave your laptop for long and the…

  • Reeder for mac is as good as Google Reader can get

    Apple should totally hire Silvio Rizzi. The guy knows UI in and out. As is evident from his super simple yet awesome website, he pays a lot of attention to detail. I have been using reeder for iPad since the last few months now. Its arguably one of the best ways to access Google reader…

  • Accessing The Hidden Dock from Full Screen Apps [OS X Lion]

    I keep the Dock on my Macbook hidden towards the left side of my screen. It shows up whenever I take my mouse in the right (left?) place. It’s an almost essential trick to save screen space if you have one of the smaller laptops. But when I switched to Lion last week I realized…

  • How Not To Quit Google Chrome by Accident on Mac?

  • Enable Mac Like Expose for Tabs in Google Chrome

    Ever since I switched to Mac, I find it natural to use Expose for most of the Window management. It’s just faster and more convenient than Alt-Tab/Cmd-Tab when you have more than 3-4 windows open. Sadly, most browsers still primarily rely on the old way for tab-switching.

  • “BlackHole RAT” Is A New Beta Trojan For Mac OS X [Yes, Beta]

    Are you missing all those Trojans ever since you moved from Windows to Mac? Do you secretly want unexpected things to happen to your Mac like they did on Windows? Well, someone is working on that. And he says, “I know, most people think Macs can’t be infected, but look, you ARE Infected!” Sophos reported…

    Boom! Take your Mac’s volume to the next level

    Have you ever wanted to watch a movie on your Mac sitting or lying down far from its screen but couldn’t because you can’t hear it from a distance? Have you ever come across a youtube video with volume so low that you can only listen to the sound if you sit inside your Mac’s…
