The boot Camp partition (NTFS system file) is, as many of you have noticed, read only.
As a result, you can’t rename it, change its icon, delete a file from it…
- To rename your bootcamp partition, just boot to Windows and rename the Hard Drive from there (from the Windows explorer).
- To hide your bootcamp HD, just change the name of the Windows Hard Drive (see above) but this time, type a dot (.) before the name of the HD.
Example: “.Vista”
This is due to the fact some drivers are missing.
To solve this problem (and some keyboard functions including ejecting a disk), all you have to do is:
- Boot on Bootcamp
- Insert Leopard’s DVD once Vista started
- This will automatically begin installation of the Boot Camp 2.0 drivers
The Google Earth Plug-in and its JavaScript API let you embed Google Earth, a true 3D digital globe, into your web pages. Using the API you can draw markers and lines, drape images over the terrain, add 3D models, or load KML files, allowing you to build sophisticated 3D map applications. If you have an existing Maps API site, you can 3D-enable your page with as little as one line of code.

Apple Scripts are actions (or sets of actions) that can be launched from almost all of your Mac’s (bundled) Apple applications.
These scripts are time saving solutions especially for repetitive actions.
And here’s an example with iTunes and some of the best Apple Scripts (to me).
First thing to do, check if you do have the scripts folders for iTunes, the best way to make sure you do have it is to run iTunes and take a look at the menu bar, it should looks like this:
The Apple Scripts logo is the one you see before “help”.
If you don’t see it, just go to your Home Folder:Library:iTunes and create a folder and name it “Scripts”:

Sorry for the absence, I was very busy the previous days!
Let’s go back MacAmouring (Loving our Mac) with some rumors first of all.
As I said many times, I’m not pro rumors, but these ones are more likely than unlikely.
iTunes 8.0, iPhone Firmware version 2.1 and maybe a new iPhone Nano.
The September 9th Apple Event: “Let’s Rock” will be more based on the Apple devices (iPod and iPhone as we said) than on the Mac (Computers and OS).
More audience as a result, that’s a sure thing, a Windows user will be interested with the latest iTunes version as well as the latest iPhone firmware’s version.
It’s sad, I wanted to hear about a new iLife’09 and iWork’09, some more on the upcoming version of Leopard (Snow Leopard).
Many pictures of the iPhone Nano 4G are available on the web.
The most “possible” one is the one under (on my opinion):

When you have 2 or more Macs, it’s easy to see one’s mac iTunes library and listen to it from another Mac.
But you may want to control your main Mac’s iTunes ( the one connected to your speakers for example ) when you’re using another Mac : you’d want to browse your songs, see the cover of the playing song, etc…
TuneConect 2 is a free and very well done app which exactly does what i described above.
* First step you enable your main Mac as a server : just install the pref.pane provided with TuneConnect.
