    moveAddict logo.jpgAs much as I love Mac, there are things that I still miss from my old Windows days. One of them is the ability to quickly cut and paste items from the Finder. It’s not because Mac doesn’t have the ability to cut and paste, but it’s because some things work differently in the different world.

    Recently, I’ve stumbled upon an app called moveAddict that will give Mac users the ability to mimic Cut and Paste feature of Windows. If you are one of the switchers from the Windows land, you might want to check this one out. /> id="more-20593">

    The Mac Way To Cut And Paste

    But before we discuss the app, let’s look at how Mac OS X handles the cut and paste problems.

    First of all, the process is called “move” in the realm of Mac. You can do this simply by selecting the files that you want to move then drag and drop them to the new location that you want them to be.

    iPhone-RedSn0wLogoLast week, we show you how to jailbreak iOS 4.0.2 for iPhone 3G in Windows. As promised, here is the how-to for Mac users. While this tutorial is very simple, I will need everyone to follow every step conscientiously. Before you start, here are some things that you have to consider: /> id="more-20520">

    • Backup your iPhone before doing the jailbreak. Restoring the data is easier to do after the jailbreak process.
    • Jailbreaking may void the warranty of your iPhone; you should know that after doing the following steps, you cannot just go to Apple stores and proclaim your iPhone is not working.
    • You must be responsible for securing your iPhone after the jailbreak.
    • This tutorial is for Mac users only.
    • RedSn0w, the tool used in this tutorial to jailbreak your iPhone, is NOT used to UNLOCK your iPhone.
    • Make sure your iPhone 3G runs on iTunes 9.2 before you proceed.
    • RedSn0w will never work on iPhone 3Gs and iPhone 4.

    Here are the steps you should follow to jailbreak iOS 4.0.2 for your iPhone 3G.

    Step 1. Download the following files:

    How to Control iTunes Using Custom Keyboard Shortcuts

    sizzling-keys-logo-osxOne of my favorite parts of my Macbook is the set of media keys across the top of the keyboard. For a music, movie, TV and general media junkie like myself, these keys make things quick and easy. What I do hate though, is when I switch to an external keyboard and mouse, which I generally do pretty often with the way my home office is set up, I lose that functionality. When this happens, the only option you’re left with is going all the way in to iTunes, or at least up to the menu bar, to change tracks, volume, etc. This wrecks your workflow. Another problem with them is that they take up useful function keys. These keys are used for different things in different scenarios on different machines, but on a Mac, they’re useless as anything besides media keys. I know a lot of professionals in the computer industry that rely heavily on the function keys on their keyboard, and I can see where they’re coming from when they say they hate a Mac’s dedicated row at the top.

    Gmail drag-and-drop now works in Safari, too

    The Gmail team continues to push HTML5 hard, and their latest efforts mean that Safari users can now drag and drop attachments onto their Gmail window (just like Chrome and Firefox users have been able to do for a while).

    The same goes for dragging images into messages. One feature that Safari users now have over Firefox users is that "new windows outlive the original Gmail window." This means that you can pop out a chat window and close the original Gmail tab, and things will keep humming along just fine. I hope that the final version of Firefox 4 will support this.

    Google Chrome 5.0.342.7 has been released to the Beta channel for Mac users: Translate for the Mac

    • Beta updates
    • mac
    • release

    Google Chrome 5.0.342.7 has been released to the Beta channel for Mac users (we released Linux yesterday). The highlights for Mac are basically the same, with the addition of Full Screen view working.

    We finally have automatic translation for all Beta users.

    Highlights:

    • Automatic translations and greater control over content for privacy. The Google Chrome 4.1 Beta announcement for Windows explains these features in more detail.
    • Full screen mode
    • Really, really reload. A normal reload causes the browser to check with the server before reusing its cached content.  The server can decide whether or not the browser should use its cached content.  A force reload causes the browser to ignore its cached content and ask the server for a fresh copy of the page. Use Shift+Reload to force a reload (the reload keyboard shortcut varies by platform).

    To get on the Beta channel, you can download Google Chrome from http://www.google.com/chrome?platform=mac.

    Chrome Dev Release Overhauls Bookmark Manager for Macs

    Google's Chrome browser is out with a new Dev release, and the big change is inside the Mac bookmark manager, which we've heard was previously less than awesome to use. The new bookmark manager has drag-and-drop organizing, easy deleting and renaming, and a better look. The developers note that folders stuffed with bookmarks may not let you access all the bookmarks at the bottom, but a fix is coming. Auto-filled forms also saw improvements across all platforms. What still needs fixing in Chrome for Mac? Image via ReadWriteWeb. [Google Chrome Releases via ReadWriteWeb]

    Mac OS X only: Chrome for Mac Beta just updated with support for Chrome extensions. Windows and Linux users have been enjoying support for Chrome extensions for a while, and while Mac users who're subscribed to the dev channel of Chrome have had extension support since January, this is good news for Mac users who prefer the relative stability of the beta release. Ready to get started installing some saucy Chrome extensions but not sure where to start? Check out these 13 excellent extensions, or just head to our Chrome extensions page to browse other extensions we've covered.
    The release also brings with it bookmark sync, the bookmark manager, cookie manager, and task manager—so there's a ton of good stuff to in this beta release. [Google Chrome Blog]

    [via Google Chrome Blog]

    Since we released Chrome for Mac in beta last December, we've been busy adding new features. Today, after some incubation in the developer channel, we're happy to make some of these features more widely available. The new beta release of Chrome for Mac offers extensions, bookmark sync, and more.

    With this new version, you'll be able to install any of over 2,200 extensions (and counting!) currently available in Chrome's extensions gallery. Extensions can add useful, informative, fun, or quirky functionality to the browser. You can manage your extensions by clicking on the Window menu and choosing "Extensions."

    For this release, we remained focused on providing a snappy, safe, and simple browsing experience on the Mac. If you haven't tried Chrome on the Mac yet and are curious about its features, this video will take you on a brief tour:

    Chrome only: Extension FastestFox adds a bunch of new options to Google Chrome to search multiple sites, add related links, and turn text URLs into clickable links.

    Once installed, you'll see a new icon in the toolbar that allows you to turn each feature on or off—including a new search box that allows you to easily submit your query to another service, hover search buttons when you select text, related links on Wikipedia, and turning text links into clickable links.

    Once you've done a search, you can scroll to the bottom of the page, and FastestFox will load the next page below the current one on demand, so instead of clicking through every Google result, you can just keep scrolling. It's a useful extension that might be worth a look, especially if you spend a lot of time doing research. FastestFox is a free download, works wherever Google Chrome extensions do.

    All the extension really does is bundle up the calendar from previously mentioned webapp Don't Break the Chain and move it into an easy-access button on your toolbar, but it's a great way to keep yourself productive without a lot of effort. Simply click the box for each day you complete a task, and skip the days you don't—the app will tell you when you've been dropping the ball. Don't Break the Chain is a free download, works wherever Google Chrome Extensions do.
