There is a great number of applications that make controlling iTunes even easier like Coversutra…

CoverStream is one of them, it uses shortcuts to bring a small window to control iTunes, but the great thing is that it integrates a small Cover Flow on it!


It has other features like Last.fm integration, showing the currents playing song right on the Desktop and/or your Dock and Apple Remote integration.

CoverStream is available here and is worth trying.

The dock used to crash every hour or less sometimes.

I’ve heard there are problems with the iDisk, didn’t mount it yet so I can’t confirm.

Apple has already sent a Beta of the next update for Leopard.

Fix All Of Leopard’s Internet Connection Issues

Posted on 29 May 2008 in Leopard, Macintosh Tips & Help | 4 Comments »

This trick solved many of the problems I had with Leopard: the 10 secs delay for Mail to check my email, slow connection on MSN Messenger, Adium won’t connect to MSN at all…
Two steps to fix this(these) issue(s):

  1. go to Network > Advanced > DNS, and add these DNS: 4.2.2.2 & 141.1.1.1, click on “Apply” and close system preferences.
  2. open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app), and type this command: sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

Now you can start your applications and you’ll feel the change!
