OS X

Do you remember those mouse odometers that were popular some decades ago? Those useless mini apps that measured the distance your mouse traveled throughout the day? By accident I just found an up-to-date implementation of these time and resource wasters…

A while back I talked about Inquisitor, a nifty plugin that enhances Safari’s search bar with additional search engines, live search results, and auto-completion. Glims – which is still in beta – provides similar features and some interesting enhancements. It has just become Inquisitor’s successor on my machine.

Recently I wrote about tips to increase your productivity by applying some “Getting Things Done” strategies and I suggested To Do for managing your tasks from inside OS X’s Dashboard.
Today I found another tools that might do the trick even better.

Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference 2008 is just about to begin with one of the famous “Stevenotes” – Steve Jobs presenting new stuff from Apple and bringing light into the darkness of all the rumors floating around the web for weeks.

Am I a fanboy, too? Maybe. I just took the test.
