Take Control of Screen Sharing in Lion by Glenn Fleishman

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Highly-targeted title; up to the Take Control series’ usual, high standards. Takes a very practical typical-use-case approach.

Via BoingBoing:

The folks at PictureCode have released a 64-bit version of their outstanding Noise Ninja plug-in for Aperture 3. They didn’t waste any time getting this into users’ hands.

Even better, when I hadn’t seen any mention of a forth-coming upgrade on PictureCode’s web site after Aperture 3 let me know it would have to run Noise Ninja under 32-bit mode, I emailed them to ask about their plans.

Not only did Bill Smith, their senior programmer, get right back to me, letting me know a release was imminent — he attached a beta version of the plug-in.

How cool is that?

Awesome animated ad for Google Chrome:

Since you can’t find things on the Avid web site, here’s a link to the codecs for Mac:

AvidCodecsLE.pkg, AvidCodecsLE.zip

This happens to me all the time, using the shipping non-pirated version of Adobe Photoshop CS4:

What you’re seeing is a Finder window (full of yellow-labelled files) which has split a Photoshop window in two: the Photoshop window’s titlebar is behind the Finder window, while the Photoshop document’s contents are in front of the Finder window.

This persists if you move either window, creating the illusion that the Finder window is slicing the Photoshop document apart.

Weird.

Does it do this under Windows XP or Vista, or is this a Mac OS X-only “feature”?
