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! However, you may have noticed that when you connect your iPhone to your Mac, the iPhoto application automatically opens also. 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.

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.
