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. 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.

图为丁一夫先生文章中所写的双手托宝无量寿铜鎏金佛像，本是属于西藏的宝物，却在央视《寻宝》中评选成“无锡十二大民间宝物”之一。而如此散失在中国各地各位“收藏家”手中的西藏宝物，其实数不胜数。某些“收藏家”靠西藏宝物发财成名不说，甚至还摇身一变，成了“薪火相传·珍藏西藏”的人物。有谁问过藏传佛教鎏金佛像的来历？文/丁一夫 2009年1月，中央电视台经济频道举办的大型电视节目“寻宝”播出了“走进无锡”，参与总人数突破2000，参选物件近万件，由专家鉴定，真品率达到了 15％，大大高于全国5％的水平。在入围民间“国宝”的珍品中，出现了一件藏传佛教的明代双手托宝无量寿铜鎏金佛像。专家宣布，此尊无量寿佛，跏趺坐于双层莲花之上，双手托寿瓶，面相庄重慈祥。此佛像高73厘米，质地非常滋润，做工精细，生动，优美，从材质，造型，工艺分析判断，此佛应为宫廷和大寺庙所造，时代特征明显，十分罕见。 dtsv.dtse_post_884_permalink = ‘http://www.mckaywei.com/?p=884′; dtsv.dtse_post_884_title = ‘丁一夫：有谁问过藏传佛教鎏金佛像的来历？’;
