iMovie’s Dirty Little Secret: Colour Banding -- Reality Distortion: Macs, Mac OS X, and Apple stuff
(This one has been driving me nuts for weeks…) My new MacBook Pro came with iMovie ’09, so I decided to edit some 3-year-old DV tapes of my son that I still hadn’t dealt with. The output quality was really bad – it contained what I can only describe as severe posterization or banding in the shadows, which also had the effect of amplifying the noise in the movie. When I tried the same thing on iMovie ’06 (or “iMovie HD”, to give it its proper name), the result was fine. Here are some stills from that movie: Original DV footage (click image to enlarge):It’s nice to be able to quickly distinguish changes in svn diff ‘s output. We can do that with a little Perl wrapper called ColorDiff . Get ColorDiff First, install MacPorts if you haven’t already. First snag — my new employer ‘s network firewall blocks rsync for some reason, so sudo port selfupdate didn’t work for me.

Sniff Your iPhone's Network Traffic - Jerod Santo
Ever wanted (or needed) to see your iPhone’s network traffic? All you need is a wireless LAN and the cross-platform proxy application, Paros. There are other proxy server’s that can be used, but Paros was built for web application security assessments, so it provides an intimate hook into the HTTP request/response flow.imovie09tricks - karsten schluter's iMovie site

Mac OS X Keyboard Layout, Keymapping, Keybinding, Tools
Each key on a computer's keyboard is assigned a numerical code which is reported as the "key" field in the B_KEY_DOWN or B_UNMATCHED_KEY_DOWN message. Likewise, the "key" field of the B_KEY_UP or B_UNMATCHED_KEY_UP message indicates which key was released. The Print Screen key is trapped by BeOS; it doesn't generate a key down message, but it does generate a key up. The following illustration shows the keycodes for most of the keys on standard keyboards. Some keyboards vary slightly from this; however, even if keys are in different locations than those depicted here, they'll still have the same key code values. Note that the Option key on Macintosh keyboards and the Windows key on many PC keyboards share the same keycode.

Installing And Using pngcrush On Your Mac
Hey If you develop a website or have to move png image around over slow networks you want to get png files as small as possible. Although Photoshop and other apps can compress and optimise the png files to some extent, to get them as small as possible it is best to use a compression tool that removes other data and optimises the image to be as small as possible without losing image quality. One of the best tools out there is pngcrush . Its a command line program run in Terminal that can compress an image to around 70% of the original size.Lion introduced a new feature called "elastic scrolling", in which you can scroll past the top or bottom of the window and it'll "bounce back" like a rubber band. If you find this feature distracting or annoying, you can turn it off with a Terminal command. Just open a terminal and type: defaults write -g NSScrollViewRubberbanding -int 0 Then, restart any elastic-enabled apps that are currently running.

Mac OS can't detect any interface - Wireshark Q&A
This solution worked for me on OS X Leopard 10.6.6 running wireshark 1.4.3 Open terminal type 'whoami' to see your exact user name (for me that was keving) execute the following commands (substituting your username for mine--also enter your login password when prompted, of course): cd /dev sudo chown keving:admin bp* ls -la | grep bp The last command will display a list of files such as:Most OS X apps can have their interface elements accessed by AppleScript, and so anything can be scripted . Unfortunately, not all apps use an Aqua interface, especially games with game-engine-rendered interface elements. This means AppleScript can't find buttons, etc., to click on, and you're out of luck trying to automate actions. Recently, I was given the unpleasant task of automating actions in such unfriendly apps. I just about went crazy trying to find a way to write a simple script with coordinates for mouse click events.There's nothing available within AppleScript for pushing the mouse around, and I couldn't find any command-line utilities either.

Bruno Valentin » double disque dur dans un macbook pro
Il y a quelques temps, j’ai remplacé le disque dur de mon macbook pro par un disque beaucoup plus rapide en SSD 256GB. Après avoir démonté l’ancien disque IDE 500GB d’origine, je l’avais monté dans un boitier externe en USB. Fatigué de trimbaler avec moi ce disque externe au quotidien je me suis mis en quête d’une meilleure solution pour transporter mes précieuses données. Après pas mal de recherches sur le net, et n’utilisant quasiment jamais le lecteur DVD interne, j’ai décidé de l’enlever et de le remplacer par le disque dur de 500GB pour que mon macbook pro soit équipé d’un disque dur SSD rapide pour le système et d’un second plus gros, pour les données. Si vous souhaitez faire de même je vous propose de suivre le guide ci-dessous.Enabling Multiprocessor Support in Windows XP [NOTE: (04Aug2008) This page was copied from http://www.handaware.com/multiprocessor_XP.html .
