Great tip from Mac OS X Hints in 2007 worth a re-link. I use this for Gmail every day, as there’s no better and faster way to get files off your Mac and onto Gmail.
If you have just updated to iTunes 10.0.1, you might have noticed that Ping now comes with a sidebar and a dropdown menu to let you like and posts directly from your music library. While I appreciate this feature, some of you may be annoyed by the presence of that dropdown menu in the library, so jump after the break to find out how to remove that menu from iTunes 10.0.1.

Apple released a minor update to iTunes last night, which reaches version 10.0.1 and introduces a new feature for Ping users: the Ping sidebar. The Ping sidebar allows you to always have the updates from the people you follow under control: the “Recent Activity” is a smaller version of the Ping dashboard you’re used to and it displays new purchases, preorders and likes. You can like, comment, preorder and buy from the sidebar itself. Read more

Having used Windows 7 for some time in the past months (I’m always curious to see whether Windows is getting better or not), I’m particularly impressed by the usefulness of Aero Peek, a feature that allows you to get a quick preview of a program window by simply hovering over its icon in the taskbar.

Yeah, Apple: why?
Snowtape is a beautifully designed Mac application that allows you to listen to online radio stations, and record them as .mp3 files to save on your hard drive for offline access. It’s got a great icon, a delicious UI design (possibly one of the most impressive apps I have on my Mac, design-wise) but most of all just works. It’s one-click listening and recording, and the newly released version 2.0 adds a couple of great features worth considering Snowtape once again. Read more
