PosteRazor 1.5 - 0 views

  • Have you ever wanted to print a high-resolution image at a very large size—say, the size of a poster—but you don’t have a wide-format printer (or don’t want to pay for the use of one at your local print shop)? One solution is to print the image in smaller sections, each taking up a sheet of standard paper, and then put those sections together to create the full image. Doing exactly this is the purpose of Alessandro Portale’s PosteRazor 1.5 (; free).

Gmail power tools | Business Center | Working Mac | Macworld - 0 views

  • Gmail changed all that. Google’s free Web-based e-mail service offers a so-good-you-forget-it’s-there spam filter, multi-gigabytes of storage, custom addresses, and more, all for free.
  • On the Gmail Labs settings page (click on Settings, then select the Labs tab), you’ll find a list of more than 40 experimental Gmail features which you can selectively enable or disable. Google warns that these features may “change, break, or disappear” at any time, but I think a few of them are well worth the risk:
  • Canned Responses If you find yourself typing the same message over and over, you can instead type it once, save it
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Multiple inboxes You don’t have to stick with the default inbox view. You can instead stack additional groups of messages—all messages with a certain label, or drafts, or all messages from your spouse, for example—beside, above, or below your main Gmail inbox. This multiple inbox view is particularly effective if you have a widescreen display.
  • Mailplane
  • Gmail’s built-in mail fetcher lets you consolidate all your POP3 e-mail accounts into your Gmail inbox. In Gmail’s Settings, on the Accounts and Import tab, click on Add POP3 e-mail account. From there, you can enter your other accounts’ credentials; they’ll then appear in your Gmail inbox
  • Voice and video chat You can skip Skype or iChat entirely and chat via voice and video from inside Gmail. You’ll need a microphone, iSight or other Web cam, and the free voice and video plug-in (compatible with OS X 10.4 and above).
  • Managing Gmail deprives you of one (evil but necessary) feature of a desktop client: new mail notifications. You can remedy that by downloading the free Google Notifier for Mac to
  • Forgotten Attachment Detector When you compose an e-mail that promises a document and hit send without attaching the file, this embarrassment-saver asks if you meant to attach a file first.

Three ways to improve Gmail | Business Center | Working Mac | Macworld - 1 views

  • Previews in Mail If you check your Gmail messages in Mail, you might tire of clicking on links to get to the videos and photos friends and colleagues send you. Several Labs features let you preview media stored on other sites within an incoming Mail message when the sender includes only a link. Examples include YouTube Previews in Mail, Picasa Previews in Mail, and Flickr Previews in Mail.
  • Filter your messages more effectively Gmail offers a basic but highly useful filtering system, which examines incoming messages and then takes some action based on each message’s characteristics. For example, filters can apply a label to all messages with a certain word in the subject, or from a certain sender; they can also archive messages (keeping them out of your Inbox), mark them as read, and take other actions. Although these filters aren’t as powerful as the rules features of programs such as Mail and Microsoft Entourage, they have the advantage of being able to presort your mail even when you’re checking your messages in a Web browser or on an iPhone or other mobile device that doesn’t have its own filtering capability.
  • To enable IMAP, log in to your Gmail account, click on the Settings link at the top, click on the Forwarding And POP/IMAP link, select Enable IMAP, and click on Save Changes. You can then click on the Configuration Instructions link to learn how to set up your favorite e-mail client to access Gmail via IMAP. (To learn more about the ins and outs of using Gmail via IMAP with Mail, see “Achieving E-mail Bliss with IMAP, Gmail, and Apple Mail”.)

TubeTV 1.0 (Macworld) - 0 views

  •  
    Sure, the iPhone and the Apple TV provide access to YouTube videos, but this access is not the same as downloading a YouTube video to your hard drive. For that, you can use TubeTV 1.0, a straightforward, basic YouTube video downloader. Just enter the URL of the YouTube video into TubeTV (or use the Search field) and click on the "Download movie" button, and TubeTV saves the video to your Mac.

Tapeless camcorders are not a Mac's best friend - 0 views

  • Macworld Lab has been testing five high-definition, tapeless camcorders, and thus far, the results aren't pleasing. Three out of the five camcorders we tested don't work properly on a Mac. Now, before you drive to One Infinite Loop and camcorder vendors’ buildings crying “This is an outrage!” allow me to explain my definition of "not working on a Mac."

Macworld | Editors' Notes | Five Mac maintenance myths - 0 views

  • You know you need to change the oil in your car every 3,000 miles, clean your house’s gutters every fall, and brush your teeth at least twice a day—but do you know what’s necessary to keep your Mac in good shape? For the most part, Macs run smoothly. But as with most machines, a little preventative maintenance goes a long way toward keeping things running smoothly.

O2 confirms new iPhone 'in weeks' - 0 views

  • O2 has confirmed it will make an iPhone-related announcement in conjunction with Apple “in the coming weeks.” The news was confirmed by O2 owner Telefonica Europe boss Matthew Key after Wednesday’s announcement of the mobile network’s financial results. While he refused to be drawn on an exact time-scale for the announcement, Key did confirm his company to hold a multiyear exclusive agreement with Apple for selling the iPhone in the UK and Ireland, despite recent chatter of a potential end to network exclusivity.

Macworld | Mac OS X Hints | Select hidden drop-down menu choices via keyboard - 0 views

  • What you may not have known is that you can do the same thing for certain drop-down menus hiding behind buttons—even when those menus aren’t yet visible. To take best advantage of this trick, you must first make sure you’ve got your machine set up such that the Tab key takes you to each available input. To do that, open the Keyboard & Mouse System Preferences panel, and then click on the Keyboard Shortcuts tab. At the bottom of this panel, make sure Full Keyboard Access is set to All Controls. You can now use the Tab key to select the drop-down menu, which you’ll need to do in order to then use the keyboard to access that drop-down’s menu items.
