Say you take screenshots of your desktop or open applications now and then to show off via IM or Twitter. Sure, you know how to take that screenshot: Cmd-Shift-4 (for an area) or Cmd-Shift-3 (for the whole screen). But getting it out onto the web? What a hassle to fire up an FTP client or twitpic.com just to drop off one little picture!

When 100 Mac developers act together, something big is surely happening. The One Finger Discount is a great initiative which offers a 20% discount on 100+ Mac applications coming from famous and less known indie developers.
But it’s ending today. Go buy something if you haven’t already, some apps are really cool and it’s “almost a steal”!
“One of the things that people say an awful lot about the Apple Mac is that the OS is fantastic, that it’s very graphical and easy to use,” Aldous said. “What we’ve tried to do with Windows 7 – whether it’s traditional format or in a touch format – is create a Mac look and feel in terms of graphics. We’ve significantly improved the graphical user interface, but it’s built on that very stable core Vista technology, which is far more stable than the current Mac platform, for instance.”
Now, Mr. Simon Aldous, you have to explain what do you exactly mean with “far more stable”.
Seriously, are you sure that Microsoft didn’t give a pirated copy of OS 8? In that case, you’re right.
Maybe.
If you’re an advanced user of Mac OS X, it’s very likely that you know what Terminal.app is. If you’re not, the Terminal is an application included in every version of OS X into the Utilities folder which provides a command line interface to manually control your Mac.
In this roundup I’ve collected the best links about Terminal.app: you’ll find the best commands, hacks and tips to get the most out of it.
Enjoy!
I tried many RSS readers for iPhone, and by “many” I mean more than 20. The problem is, there are thousands of RSS readers out in the AppStore and as you can guess, it’s pretty difficult to discover good apps when there are 3.000 apps in that Category. But anyway, I tried many and in the end the best were the most popular: Byline, NetNewsWire, Newsstand.
Now, among these three ones my final choice until a month ago was Newsstand: features rich, great interface, stable and fast. But you know, things change fast.
Step down from the throne Newsstand, we have a new king.
Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo, is reportedly an Apple fan who uses an iPhone and Mac laptop. He also denied that there is a rivalry between his company and Apple, noting that attempts to create one makes him “uncomfortable.” But Iwata also allegedly sees the iPhone as enough of a threat that Nintendo must work to stand out from it and devices like it.
“If we can’t make clear why customers pay a lot of money to play games on Nintendo hardware and Nintendo software and differentiate ourselves from games on the mobile phone or iPhone, then our future is dark” .
Now, I’m quite curious to know how Nintendo will move. I’m a fan of Nintendo since 15 years, I have almost every Nintendo console ever released, but this time I’m very skeptical about the future.
How are they gonna explain to their customers that they should play $40 for a game when they can have a game on the iPhone at $5? Well, hardcore gamers know the difference between a full featured console game and an AppStore.
But casual gamers, those who bought the Nintendo DS and Wii like bread 2 years ago, are slowly switching to Apple’s iPhone as their mobile gaming platform. Nintendo is in a very difficult position: should they start a new marketing campaign aimed at casual gamers and explain them why consoles are different from mobile devices, or should they finally release products for hardcore gamers? But again, the problem is that many hardcore gamers switched to Microsoft’s Xbox years ago, and I don’t believe they’d like to change console again.
This is a big mess Nintendo. When we told you shouldn’t only think about casual users, this is what we were talking about.

After Apple rolled out Snow Leopard 10.6.2 yesterday, many users started tweeting that the update broke all the Mail.app plugins they had installed.
Fortunately, I got Herald, Letterbox, QuoteFix and GrowlMail working.
Here’s how.
