Prevent iPhoto from Opening When Connecting iPhone to Mac
If you have a Mac and also an iPhone just like me, you probably sync your iPhone to your Mac using iTunes. It just makes sense!

Personally, I find this really annoying and end up closing iPhoto each time I connect my iPhone to my MacBook. Eventually, I decided to spend 5 minutes and fix the problem for good. Below [...]
Not Sure About A Tattoo? Try A Temporary Henna Tattoo!
I’ve never seen these Henna tattoos before today, and as I was reading about them, I learned they aren’t permanent. To get a Henna tattoo, you actually mix up a batch of paste called Henna. The tattoo lasts for 2-4 weeks before it finally fades away. This is a really cute idea if you want a test run of what it feels like to have a design on your skin for a while. Apparently you can buy a Henna kit [...]
8个好用的Safari Extensions
Apple在6月发布了Safari 5，正式推出了对浏览器插件的支持。然后Apple又在7月底推出了自家官方的Safari Extensions gallery, 用于展示一些很棒的extension.

我自己试用了一些插件，在这里特别推荐8个比较好用又不会影响浏览器美观的插件，个人很讨厌一些插件出现在tab栏下占用浏览器可视区域，Twitter for Safari就是一个例子。

PS: 官方gallery不是唯一一个可以找到并安装新插件的地方，推荐 SafariExtensions on Tumblr 和 Pimp My Safari ，这两个网站每日都会推荐一些有特色的extension.
Chopper Scooter, I’m Totally Serious
If scooters are too passe for your bad boy, Jesse James lovin’ ego, check out this Chopper Scooter. The motorized mover was designed with linear lines and flowing shapes in mind – anything to hide it’s true identity. Great way to bring up those kids and get them all indoctrinated into the culture.

艾未未电脑文件不翼而飞

News About China No Responses »

Nov 292009

艾未未说：十几天前，公安部到中国银行调出我和我家人的帐号，当被问及检查的理由时，他们回答说是涉嫌诈骗。之后，我的园子门口又被安装了三个摄像机。昨天我办公室的同事又告诉我，我办公室电脑中的文件资料照片和录音资料都被剪辑走。不知道是怎么回事。我想这可能同我做五一二公民调查并且要求四川政府信息公开有关系，因为我们正向四川的各个部门，教育部门，民政部门和公安部门提出要求，要求他们公布同地震有关的资料，公布他们必须公的信息。这是完全符合国务院的信息公开条例的相关法令规定的。但是当我们仔细地提出详细的问卷时，我们得到的回答都是否定的。 dtsv.dtse_post_984_permalink = ‘http://www.mckaywei.com/?p=984′; dtsv.dtse_post_984_title = ‘艾未未电脑文件不翼而飞’;
