- Slashdot CSS Redesign Winner Announced ★
-
I like it — a big improvement that preserves everything that’s good about the classic Slashdot brand.
- Apple’s ‘Mac Maintenance Quick Assist’ No Longer Recommends Periodically Repairing Permissions ★
-
Remember that goofy support document Apple posted last month, which advised periodically running Repair Permissions along with weird tips like dusting your computer and assigning your saved documents sensible file names? Well, it’s been revised, and it no longer mentions Repair Permissions. It also no longer mentions disk defragmentation or restarting your Mac every few days just for kicks.
(Thanks to Jonathan Tyrrell for pointing this out.)
- All the Lovely Browsers ★
-
Detailed analysis and benchmarks for the major modern web browsers, on both Windows and Mac OS X. (Via Andrew Sheridan via email.)
- The Mac Observer: Adobe to Drop GoLive, Freehand ★
-
The Mac Observer:
Adobe Systems France announced at Adobe Live that the development of GoLive and Freehand will be phased out. Adobe representative Robert Raiola stated that Dreamweaver will get a new interface and replace GoLive as the Web development application in the Creative Suite 3 package, due out in spring 2007.
- Glenn Fleishman Chases Down ‘GoLive and Freehand Are Dead’ Rumors ★
-
It’d be more surprising if either of these apps survived than if Adobe were to discontinue development on them.
- ADC: Shell Scripting Primer ★
-
Apple Developer Connection introduction to shell scripting on Mac OS X (although it’s almost entire applicable to any Unix-style OS). (Again via Scott McNulty.)
- Bizarre Rant From Mom Whose Six-Year-Old Wasn’t Allowed to Drag Stool Around Apple Store ★
-
An Apple Store employee refused to allow Amy Ridenour’s six-year-old son to drag a stool from the Genius Bar to the laptop area so that he could play with the MacBooks; somehow Ridenour sees this as a gross injustice. I’m interested in knowing which stores do allow her son to rearrange their furniture. (Via Scott McNulty.)
