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.

BEIJING — Chinese authorities have extended the detention of a jailed dissident writer for another two months, his lawyer said Wednesday.

Liu was held at a secret location for six months, then formally arrested in June on suspicion of “inciting to subvert state power” [...]

美国总统奥巴马12日启程，开始他为期9天的亚洲之行。按照白宫公布的奥巴马行程安排，他先到日本访问，然后前往新加坡参加在那里举行的亚太领袖峰会，最后于本周末（11月15日）抵达上海，然后前往北京；奥巴马将在中国停留3天，届时将会晤中国国家主席胡锦涛。就在奥巴马动身之时，总部设在巴黎的记者无疆界组织（RSF）在其网站上发表一份公开信，要求奥巴马总统与中国国家主席胡锦涛会晤时，向胡锦涛提10个问题。这10个问题主要涉及中国日益恶化的的人权状况和言论及新闻自由状况，包括关押敢说话的大批新闻记者、博客作者、知识分子、艺术家和异议人士，限制外国记者进入西藏和新疆地区采访，对网路实行封锁，等等。记者无疆界组织希望奥巴马能向中国胡锦涛提出这类问题。 dtsv.dtse_post_696_permalink = ‘http://www.mckaywei.com/?p=696′; dtsv.dtse_post_696_title = ‘记者无疆界要求奥巴马向胡锦涛提10个问题’;
