MobileMe iDisk now available on the App Store

Finally, after having seen the track at the WWDC last June and no sign of life so far, Apple has launched the implementation of the iDisk in the App Store for all owners of a MobileMe.

The application lets you see the files stored on your iDisk, access to public folders for users, share your files easily from the iPhone or iPod touch, re-view the files visited recently with a direct access and view documents from iWork , Office, QuickTime or PDFs directly from the application, but warn that we could have problems with files larger than 20MB.

The application is free to all users, but needs the iPhone OS 3.0 and, of course, an active MobileMe account as it is the service provided by the online iDisk space.

RightZoom, turns the button Zoom lens (green) into maximizing

There are many beginner users of the system Mac OS X to which the behavior of the button Zoom lens, the green one of all window of MacOS X, can disturb them at first sight, for all of them today I bring RightZoom an application that allows to fix that button maximize always the windows. Many are not even accustomed to the behavior by defect at first little uniforms of this button “to expand” and miss the functionality of Windows maximizing window, in which the windows occupy all the possible space of the writing-desk (well, I found cases in which they have gotten to me to say that this considers the failure very serious of the system, in short, am people for everything).

RightZoom these worries were ended, we can define the behavior of this button any application or to even assign to a short cut of keyboard or a key when beating the button to define the behavior that we want. Application is gratuitous and although to many stupidity will seem them sovereign, surely yes that it will have his public, since it is not the unique application that allows to define this behavior of the system, sounds to me that there are some more. Those that gives a little bad thorn are the Blazingtools, the people in charge of RightZoom, whom also they have offer another application to directly have a species of pseudo-menu of beginning in the called Dock Start-Menu and some other tools related to the security whose aspect seems a little at first neglected.

In short, that if one of your problems when using Mac OS X is the happy green button, you know that there are applications that allow to form the system until unsuspected limits.

Apple Planning Special Event March 24th?

Only a rumor for now, according to Apple and Apple Worldwide My Guide (via Engadget), and will probably be a “Spotlight Turns to blows with PC architecture for the Mac mini, iMac, and / or Mac Pro compatible with NVIDIA chipset and the latest generation of mobile Intel procs received last fall, and perhaps a new 30 “LED Display, March 2008, but not see the iPhone SDK Event Guide, so is not over in May hoping to be some iPhone news on our horizon.

When Apple announced it had ceased to attend Macworld, also said he would be calling their own news on their own timetable, on March 24 the same data must be regarded as a fluid and depending on the final Product (s) and service (s) to be announced. Given that Apple rarely sends invitations to less than a week before the fall of the day, anyway, all we can do is wait … and perhaps drooling …

Steve Jobs is not, of course, since May, it will still be off, but Phil Schiller made the last speech, and also the last show new iMac form factor (even if the employment was at its previous license) with some suggesting that the story in May the main man of the stage.

Meanwhile, what do you expect to see in March, a special event at Apple, and what do we really want to see?

Display iCal Events and a To Do list on your desktop

Recently, I tried different ways to display the current day events and to-dos in iCal on my desktop. I wanted a way to quickly check what I have to do that day without having to open iCal, Dashboard or any application, and finally I found a method I was happy. The screenshot below shows how I made mine, but it is quite easy to customize to their own needs. Here are the steps to take if you want to do it yourself.

1. Get iCalBuddy and GeekTool
For this you need to download two (free) applications. The first GeekTool is a preference pane that lets you view image files and shell scripts on the desktop. The second is iCalBuddy, a command line utility that allows you to access events and pending tasks, without having to open iCal.

GeekTool download and install it by double-clicking on the preferences. Now you can access by going to System Preferences and look for the bottom line.

Download iCalBuddy from here and double-click it to unzip the folder. The installation is a little bit complicated. Open up Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities) and type cd followed by a space. Now drag the iCalBuddy folder onto the Terminal window and hit Enter. Finally, type sudo ./install.sh and hit enter. To test if everything is installed properly, try typing in icalbuddy eventsToday, which should bring up a list of today’s events.
