Much better: an option to change grid spacing on the desktop, at laaaast. Either that’s actually the one and only change to the Leopard Finder, or that means the only thing remaining of the old Finder will be the desktop — in which case the Finder replacement won’t be the outlandish Core Animation-powered 3D extravaganza that some expect (and thank heavens for that), since it wouldn’t make sense to keep the existing desktop then.
Knowing Apple, you’d have a hard time speculating which alternative is more likely.

Incremental search in Safari [via], actually done a bit better than in the other browsers (to make up for being so late).

Why wait for Leopard? Get Dash Clipping now. And it works, too. Pretty cool.

Mac browser speed wars. Well, maybe I’ll give OmniWeb yet another try, but I can’t ever seem to lay off Safari. (Plus, I might value my RAM more than page load times.)

Interview with Chris Forsythe of Adium and Growl:
The major issue here is that one of the previous goals for Adium was “So many features you will crap your pants”. […] That’s no longer a goal or even on our radar.
[…] One real goal we have is to no longer add a preference if at all possible. Another is to apply the “80/20” rule to things.
Eh… but isn’t the original philosophy the reason why Adium got so popular in the first place? I hate the 80/20 rule (which consists in not implementing anything that would be useful to less than 20% of the user base — 20% is an awful big percentage!).

Sony Mylo Linux-based and doing Java. Unlike the PSP, Sony has no valid reason to cripple the OS this time (but then, having no valid reason doesn’t mean they won’t do it just for fun), so it’s getting more and more interesting.
Yeah, I’m sure you could buy a Palm or Pocket PC for the same price or cheaper, and teach it Skype, but… ooh, shiny. (No, really, I like the design. I do.)
