The terrific twitter client for for iPad We have been seeing this application on Mac since long time, now Twitterific has launched version for iPad. Largely the same interface as we've seen in prior iterations, and it makes the transition well here. Again, as usual, columns are easy to navigate and the sheer volume of information never seems cumbersome, although we find it pretty annoying that you have to switch to portrait mode to click on links, photos don't get their own formatting (relegating you instead to the site), and there doesn't seem to be a way to follow a public conversation thread - but ya, it's free and great for multiple simultaneous feed navigation. Some people might find Twitepad ($0.99) more to their liking, but in our time with the software it was a little too crowded for our tastes, and buggy in its current state. It's definitely one to keep an eye on, though. Im sure if you have used this application on your Mac you will continue to use i...

When you download an application from internet, it gives a prompt to open or go to the website once the downloading is complete. Following this post you can get rid of annoying prompt. Before I start I would rather recommend that if you are new to Mac don’t disable it unless you are well versed with the behavior of Mac Operating system and its functionality. If you are smart enough to manage, then lets move ahead. All you have to do is type the following command on terminal screen. defaults write com.apple.LaunchServices LSQuarantine -bool NO This command stops the quarantine message that you get after downloading is complete. Activation and deactivation of this feature is almost same. All you have to do is change the last section of this command from ‘NO’ to ‘YES’, as mentioned below: defaults write com.apple.LaunchServices LSQuarantine -bool YES I have tested this on two iMacs, please let me know if you face any issue is executing it. Tweet me on: @MacMaste...

Latest iTunes 9.1 is loaded with several new features and improvements, here they are: • Sync with iPad to enjoy your favorite music, movies, TV shows, books & more on the go. • Organize and sync books you’ve downloaded from iBooks on iPad or added to your iTunes library. • Rename, rearrange, or remove Genius Mixes.
