Media file preview in Snow Leopard

October 22, 2009 @ 9:20 pm

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.

Sporting MacBook Pro Sleeve from Hard Graft

October 22, 2009 @ 1:08 am

If you aren’t quite satisfied with the Byrd & Belle felt laptop sleeve then maybe the Hard Graft Sporting MacBook Pro Sleeve will be a good alternative to take a look at. But beware of the nearly $120 USD price tag.

Will 3rd-parties make a Magic Mouse too?

October 21, 2009 @ 12:33 am

What is the likelihood that 3rd-party hardware manufacturers will make a mouse like the Magic Mouse with multi-touch technology? I’m only asking because I can’t see myself spending $70 for a mouse but I would LOVE a mouse with multi-touch features like this. Apple mice are notoriously bad and I have a feeling that this mouse, while nice looking and all, is actually a pain in the butt to use for long periods at a time (it just doesn’t look comfortable, but what do I know…).

Also, can we all agree that Magic Mouse is a stupid name?

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.
