Many times requested, a lot of friends and iChat buddies and Twitter friends want to have this result:
The tutorial starts after the jump: Read the rest of this entry »
Found many interesting concepts for the future version of the iPhone made by various artists on the internet.
Here is my top 2.
The first one comes with “iChat”


The second one comes in two version white and black:


Too lazy to write some words, or just want to be sure of its spelling, here’s a trick on how to get a list of words that start with the few letters you typed.
iChat: as you type the first letters of a word, press Escape (without moving the mouse cursor) and you’ll see this list:

On any other Mac OS X application, the same trick works with F5 (Mail in the image below):

If there are a lot of words in the list, it will only shows the first 100 results, sorted alphabetically. The results come from Mac OS X’s built-in dictionary.
A friend of mine has recently switched to the Macintosh.
When she wanted to try iChat, her @mac.com account couldn’t be validated by Apple’s servers and iChat returned her an “incorrect password” error message.
Then it did happen to me too.
It is really annoying, I had to create an AIM account while the wealthy ones are getting MobileMe!
If you set up iChat (like myself) to handle many accounts, like Gmail, Jabber, AOL, .mac etc… you probably know how annoying it is to have all these windows running side by side.
The newest version of Chax brings many cool new features, including the unification of these contact lists onto a single one.

The popular additional iChat package now is available in a new version that supports iChat 4 (bundled in Leopard) and still supports iChat 3 (Tiger).
Some smilies have been updated and some others have been added. As alwas they perfectly integrate to iChat. The package contains 120 smilies!
Click here for a direct download.
Spread the word, because if you contacts don’t have this package installed, the smilies won’t appear in their iChat’s windows.
I also invite you to take a look at another product from MacPoupou: more iChat effects: a package of 48 new iChat video effects, download it from here.
Have fun with iChat 4!
While in invisible mode, you’re not able to receive any kind of file from your buddies, but you will still be able to send…
Just wanted to give this info to those like me who didn’t get the reason why when you try to send a file to a friend, iChat returns you a message telling you your friend doesn’t accept incoming file transfers.
This tip is intended to iChat users who’re not already used to the invisible mode (which is a Leopard addition to iChat AV).
MSN Messenger acts the same way when you try to transfer a file to a friend who has set his status to “invisible”.
You’ll find HERE the latest screenshots from Apple’s upcoming Leopard OS!

FANTASTIC!
