No More iTunes by Florian Pichler

NoMoreiTunes is an extension for Safari 5 which disables the script that tries to start iTunes when you visit a link to the iTunes Store. It’s annoying and redundant as there is iTunes Preview for Music and Apps now.

This is perfect. I have iTunes in a Space in OS X, and clicking on any iTunes Store link in the past would immediately throw me over to that Space, which can be quite annoying, especially if you’re working on something and the link opened in the background. This is the first Safari Extension I installed.

Best extension I’ve seen yet.

The New Mac Mini

Apple does it again. For $699.00 you get a 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 320GB Hard drive, 2GB RAM, FW 800, HDMI, even and SD card slot. You may also notice the other thing Apple has done again… Inched up the price a bill. That said, if you are looking for the perfect media server machine, here it is.

Safari Extensions

minimalmac:

Jonas Wisser’s tumblelog of available extensions for Safari 5. His plan is to keep it going until Apple has their own gallery but, frankly, I would like to see things this way instead so I hope he keeps it up.

Gitbox is a Mac OS X graphical interface for Git version control system. In a single window you see branches, history and working directory status.

Everyday operations are easy: stage and unstage changes with a checkbox. Commit, pull, merge and push with a single click.

I’m not a version control sort of guy but I love the minimalist interface and straight forward controls.

I was trying to remember this the other day for a friend who is a new Mac owner. Could not do it for the life of me. Thanks.

The iPad doesn’t need to do everything

chrisbowler:

Marco gives a great overview of his usage of the iPad has played out in his life.

  • I’ll play games on it.
  • I’ll check email on it, but not respond much, because that requires a lot of typing.
  • I’ll check RSS and Twitter on it, but not exclusively.
  • I’ll read for short periods on it before my hands get tired of holding it.

His description closely mirrors my own findings, as the iPad has been mostly used as a device to use while away from my computer, but still in my home. For around the house, it has completely replaced my iPhone usage.

I would only add one more item to the list above. I’ve used the iPad to watch movies as well — I’m currently catching up on Lost season 4. My iPad has been a pleasant way to do so.

Starting from zero on the iPhone home screen

minimalmac:

TJ Luoma at TUAW is giving the iPhone home screen experiment a whirl.  Love that he is keeping the camera front and center to catch pictures of his kid. Priorities are important.

Sebastiaan de With details his creation of an icon set he did for Interarchy, Mac FTP client.

Some nice icons in there! I’ve never used that app yet, but I’ll take a look soon.

Articles for iPhone

malumelegans:

The latest work of software art from Sophiestication Software, Articles is a beautiful Wikipedia reader. It takes some visual cues from Safari for iPad, which might lead the suspicious to wonder whether there’s an iPad version ready to be unleashed on the 3rd of April.

Incidentally, if Articles sells over 10,000 copies, Sophiestication will release On This Day, a “stylish calendar that lets you view historical events and birth dates” for free.

UPDATE: After five minutes of using Articles, I can tell you that the killer feature is tabs. Those of you who’ve ever taken an extended wiki walk should be nodding knowingly and hurrying off to buy a copy right about now.
