The switch

I hate having to give out my email address whenever i want to read an article on the NYTimes.com or download a trial version of PhotoShop. Companies only want your email address to send you spam anyway!

This is where Bugmenot comes in. It’s one of the most useful sites around. Simply type in a website and it will spit out the right login and password for you! has a huge database of passwords and logins for websites like the the NYTimes.com or adobe.com.

iTunes 4.8 already seems to have a localization for Motorola’s iTunes compatible phone.

iTunes.app -> Contents -> Resources -> English.lproj -> Localized.rsrc contains the “Eject Phone” phrase as well as later references to “Phone”.

Motorola’s iTunes compatible phone has been long awaited, with a number of delays reported. Last comments from Motorola claimed that it would be coming in “a couple of months” from May.

It appears iTunes may already provide support for the phone.

The calculator widget is really great but, let’s face it, it is incredibly ugly. Luckily, it is very easy to change the background, backlight and buttons of the widgets.

Note: this will actually work with any widget.

first of, mak a copy of the calculator.widget found in /Library/Widgets. Now, right-click on the copy a select “Show Package Contents” then go to the “Images” folder and locate calculator.png - this is the file you want. You can replace it with any other picture (must be a .png file).

Once you are done. Put your modified calculator.widget file back into the /Library/Widgets folder, close and reopen the calculator widget in your dashboard and rejoice in your new skin!
