Mac
OS X Leopard Gets Last Minute Tweaks:"At the last
minute, Apple has changed the appearance of the Dock
in Mac OS X Leopard when it is placed on the sides of
the screen. If so, the dock will lose its
much-criticised 3D appearance in favour of a more
traditional 2D look. When placed at the bottom, the
dock does retain its 3D appearance; however, a smart
hacker has already found out that via a single
command in the terminal, you can give the bottom dock
the same 2D appearance. In other words, everybody who
criticised the new dock (including yours truly):
rejoice!"

That depressing shade of green:"Have you ever
seen the default wallpaper of a Windows 95
installation? That horrendous, disgusting, depressing
shade of gray-green that, for years, went mocked and
scorned by many? It turns out it may just be what the
doctor ordered for long term computer use. Have we
missed something all along?
