I honestly don’t recall this feature in Mac OS X Leopard, so I’m going to assume it’s new in Snow Leopard. But apparently you can hover over a media file in Snow Leopard and a play button will appear allowing you to preview the file’s contents (video/song) without having to open up a specific application. There you go, I learned something today.

Hosting Your Windows 7 Torrenting Party – watch more funny videos
Microsoft Windows 7 was launched today and this humorous Funny or Die video shows how you can throw a special Windows 7 party like no other! If you want to bypass torrenting altogether, you can get the 64-bit version of Windows 7 using these Hotfile links. But since WIndows 7 is only $29.99 for students with a valid .edu email address, you might as well just buy it.
Problems with Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Snow Leopard
October 17, 2009 @ 11:59 am
It doesn’t seem like I’m the only one who has had problems opening multiple files in Adobe Photoshop CS4 while running Snow Leopard.
In Photoshop CS3, I was able to drag multiple items into the Photoshop icon in my dock and have them all open up at once. I could do this with regular Finder items and items from within Bridge and other Adobe apps as well. But in Photoshop CS4, this functionality is sporadic at best. If I’m dragging 5 items, let’s say, sometimes Photoshop will only open 1 and other times it’ll open 3 or something. The number seems to be random.
I don’t really know if it’s a problem with Adobe or with Snow Leopard since I never ran CS4 under Leopard to see if that functionality worked there. But for now, it’s a pretty major inconvenience that I hope Apple or Adobe get fixed soon.

Apple’s spinning wait cursor (also known as the spinning wheel of death) takes over this page on Chris Glass’ website. Scary. [via]

Quick thoughts on the BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac
October 3, 2009 @ 2:51 am
I posted earlier about RIM finally releasing the BlackBerry Desktop Software for the Mac and here is what I think about it: FINALLY! WHAT THE HELL TOOK SO LONG?! I can finally backup my phone data without having to run a virtual operating system. I don’t understand why RIM only saw it fit to release a Mac client now when there have always been BlackBerry users on Mac operating systems.
