Why is there no sort by date deleted option in Mac OSX Trash?

This has been bothering me for a very long time and it’s finally gotten to the point where I want to throw my Mac out the window. Why in God’s name is there no option to sort the files in Trash by date deleted?!

It’s just ridiculous for this option not to be available in the Trash folder.

Finally! Somebody makes an app that locks your Mac using hotkeys

I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that Mac OSX doesn’t come with a hotkey combo to quickly lock the computer. In Windows, all you had to do was press the Windows Key + L to get your computer locked. This was useful for those quick moments when you had to get up from your desk and you didn’t want prying eyes to look at what was on your screen.

In OSX however, if you want to lock your computer (not log out), you have to put the Keychain Access icon in the system menu and then use the drop-down menu to lock the computer from there. It’s not the quickest option and it really clutters up the menu bar at the top. So when I found out from Lifehacker that there’s now an application for Mac OSX that mimics the Windows way to lock your computer, I immediately downloaded it and installed it. Now, I lock my computer with LockTight andall is good.

But really, I think it’s so stupid that this option had to be included via a third-party application.

So I’m at EPIC East Coast Conference 2009 in Philly and I just installed LeopardDocks, a small app that easily allows you to change the way your application dock looks in Mac OSX Leopard.

I am currently using the Plateau dock. It is awesome!
