So, with quad-core processors, multiple-gigabytes of memory and a terabyte of storage under your desk, it’s finally possible to perfectly emulate 1970s terminal goodness.
Activate “Classic Terminal” in the preferences, and maybe try out the baudrate simulation.

WebKit and thus Safari just got a new, totally sweet Web Inspector palette—the best browser for the Mac just got better!
The Web Inspector lets you browse the live DOM hierarchy in a compact HUD style window, catering to the needs of web developers and WebKit hackers alike.The Web Inspector highlights the node on the page as it is selected in the hierarchy. You can also search for nodes by node name, id and CSS class name.
One of the unique features of the inspector is the ability to root the DOM hierarchy by double clicking a node to dig deeper. This lets you easily manage large nested pages and only focus on a particular sub-tree with minimal indentation.
Under the Style pane we show all the CSS rules that apply to the focused node. These rules are listed in cascade order with overridden properties striked-out—letting you truly see how cascading stylesheets affect the page layout. All shorthand properties have a disclosure-triangle to show and hide the expanded properties created by the shorthand.
To get all this webdev glory, just follow the instructions on Surfin’ Safari.
Next step: please add a decent JavaScript debugger! :)
The nice guys over at Macromates just released TextMate 1.5, the good-lookin’ editor you get to see in also those nice Ruby on Rails screencasts.
If you’re on OS X and not using it, you’re either a die-hard fan of some ancient editors, or you’re not into programming.
The nicest editor around now has a brand new manual, plus 1.1 is around the corner.
So, all of you who watched the videos in awe, now it’s a great time to get youself TextMate.
What I really like about Mac OS X is that it comes with all sort of cool stuff, like the Quartz Composer.
If you’re on Mac OS X Tiger, click here to see some snowy Quicktime action!
Oh, yes and here’s a variation, just stick the file in your ~/Library/Screen Savers folder, and enjoy… Ruby on Rails Mac OS X Screen Saver :)
Update: Sorry for the inconvenience with the unavailable downloads, all should be fine now!
