Since when does Safari ignore <label> tags? Oh wait — apparently it always did. Which is odd. And I could have sworn labels did work.

And have you ever tried looking for a cookie in Safari’s management window? Sorting order is… uh… mysterious, to say the least, and, not content with not allowing you to search, the window just plain refuses any keyboard input — don’t try typing the first letters of a domain name or cookie.

What’s a sure sign Steve Jobs has never used a given OS X functionality? He didn’t put Spotlight in there.

iChartwork [via] replaces your IM avatar with artwork from your currently playing iTunes song — and works with iChat and Adium. Have been using it for 24 hours now, and no complaints from my contacts.

Just wondering, though: do programs like this poll iTunes at regular intervals (like the home-made AppleScript I use to upload track info to my other blog), or does iTunes allow third-party software to register some sort of AppleScript callbacks and be notified when tracks change?

[03/08] Uninstalled. It seems to have trouble waking up from Mac sleep, and it’s rather unpleasant (read, embarrassing) to spend the whole next day sporting Madonna or Cher’s head as an icon on MSN.

What Would Jobs Do? Gotta love the iPod shuffle video — a true nano killer. By the time I post again, His Steveness will have announced something “fun” (and big?) and I’ll be too busy to have an intelligent opinion about it. Damn. At least, everyone’ll have forgotten about Microsoft’s ugly “Origami” concept after that. Got to wonder, did they leak it because they knew Apple was about to release the best PDA ever, and that was the last time they could ever make headlines with this thing?

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
