Here is a tip that could potentially save you several hours (Mountain Lion): if you have custom keyboard layout, put it in /Library/Keyboard Layouts and NOT in /System/Library/Keyboard Layouts. I know you shouldn't put stuff in System directories, but still... misleading.
BTW: Ukelele just made my life with Mac a little easier (while Mac itself took 2 hours from me by being inconsistent)
This is how many laptops are available when I visit my parents. Two are sister's, three mine. All in working condition.
Dubstep. Took me by surprise. Winside on SoundCloud
Just a reminder to everyone: I'm using Mountain Lion and I haven't used any previous osx before.
So there is this really annoying bug. As we all know it, Apple loves using real-life paradigms in their software. And one of these is spatial finder. Fortunately for people like me, who loves productivity and cleanliness, instead of gazillion open windows, there is also setting to use navigational style. And it even is the default one. But there are times when this spatial metaphor is forced upon user (like when browsing my external HDD). This magical setting is called "Always open folders in a new window". As you can see, this isn't strictly spatial/navigational setting, as Apple can only promise us it will open windows in new windows every time, but not the other way around. But to me, it really feels like a very annoying bug.
I was left with my mouth open when I couldn't find a way to open animated GIF. I mean - seriously, Apple? You have only one image viewer installed by default and you can't do this basic thing? Opening animated GIF with video player is retarted.
And while I'm at dissing Preview - why there isn't an option (which should be done automatically) to open 1 image and be able to navigate back/forward in current directory? Why should I select multiple images and open them all at once loosing my precious time?
Fortunately there is Xee.
