Safari: Open all “new window” links in tabs, and other tips to replace Saft
Predictably, my Leopard copy of Saft no longer works on Snow Leopard. A new version was released today but it does not support native 64-bit mode Safari under Snow Leopard. There’s currently no upgrade option for Leopard users to Snow Leopard versions of Saft, and I’m not keen on paying the full US$15 for a [...]

Signs of bad Mac software
Follow up to my previous post on tell-tale signs of bad Mac software before you even use it.

Webmailer 1.0
Ever click on a mailto: link, only to scream in frustration as Apple Mail opens yet again?

SingTel Optus iPhone 3G plans and pricing
SingTel Optus, one of the three Australian telcos that will be offering the iPhone come July 11th, has revealed its pricing for post-paid and pre-paid plans.
The pricing details for the plans and iPhone do a great job of confusing everybody, but we can gather that the bundled data usage with the post-paid plans are anaemic, [...]
