Go To > Anywhere! can be your best friend. It is easy to use and very powerful. When you lauch it for the first time, it will ask you for the user name you want to set it to. It will then ask for the URL to link to.

Anytime you launch the applet, it will log onto AOL and take you to the stored URL! If you are already logged on, it will still take you to the stored URL anyway.

With the new AOL software can save places in AOL to your Favorite Places list. These are actually URL pointers you can copy and place into this applet. To do so, select a favorite place from the Favorite Places palette and click the Edit button. Copy the URL and then paste that URL into the applet. The applet will now go to that location in AOL.

You can reset an applet to a new user or location at anytime by clicking the Set Prefs button when you run the applet to log on. Just indicate the new user and URL in the upcoming dialogs! To create more link applets, duplicate an exisiting applet and set it to another location or user name.

Although USB to Ethernet adaptors are cheap and plentiful, Mac OS X drivers are not.

USB-to-Ethernet offers you USB to Ethernet Adaptor Drivers.
There are two basic catagories of USB-To-Ethernet adaptors:
· USB 1.1 devices that use a Pegasus driver.
· USB 2.0 devices that use a AX8817x driver (or its successor, the AX88772).


Each disk image includes an installer for Panther or Tiger, and a "src" folder containing the corresponding xCode projects.

Installation

Download and mount the appropriate driver disk image listed above, run the corresponding installer for Panther or Tiger, and then restart your system as suggested. The Installer will ask you to authenticate so it can place the corresponding driver in "/System/Library/Extensions/" with the correct file permisions to load as a kernel extension.

Next, plug-in your Ethernet adaptor with a live Ethernet cable attached. When you open the Network Preferences panel, it should inform you that a new port has appeared and ask if you want to enable it. Enable the new port and apply your network settings. Thats it.

Each driver is pre-configured to recognize a handfull of common devices. If your device does not appear to be recognized by the driver, you might have to add it to the Info.plist file, which is located inside the USBPegasusEthernet.kext or USBAx8817x.kext directory. You can use the System Profiler or USBProber tool to find the corresponding Product ID and Vendor ID.

To uninstall the driver, make sure any USB adaptors are disconnected, and then drag the corresponding driver in /System/Library/Extensions/ USBPegaususEthernet.kext or USBAx8817x.kext to the trash. You may need to authenticate that you have administrator privileges.

USB 1.1 Performance

The Pegasus chipset provides a USB 1.1 compatible implementation which could be a concern for some users. USB 1.1 runs at 1.5 Mbps (low speed) or 12 Mbps (full speed). For best performance, its important to isolate any low speed devices on a separate bus. Mice and keyboards often run at low speed.

Using the Link Rate tool in IPNetMonitorX, I measured the link rate to another device on my LAN as 6 Mbps. The built-in Ethernet on my 12" PBG4 reported 44 Mpbs. When I measured the link rate to the next hop router through my cable modem, it reported 1 mbps. It didnt make any difference whether I used Ethernet built-in or the USB-To-Ethernet adaptor. Finally, I downloaded a 2.2 MB file to compare the throughput using the Monitor tool.

Both downloads took 5 seconds, but Ethernet built-in reached a peak rate of 589 KBps versus 579 kBps. Repeating the experiment several times produced similar results. Ethernet built-in might be 1-2% faster, but performance was clearly limited by the speed of my cable modem (Your Mileage May Vary).

USB 2.0 Performance

The AX8817x chip set provides a USB 2.0 compatible implementation which runs at up to 480 Mbps (high speed), so it should be possible to keep up with 100 Mbps fast ethernet as long as there are no other slower devices on the same bus. To test this I copied a 64.8 MB music file to my PBG4 laptop connected through a LinkSys USB200M Ethernet Adaptor (en3) and compared this to the same file transfer using Built-in Ethernet (en0).

Both transfers reached 10 MBps (80-90 Mbps) and took about 10 seconds. I repeated the test in the other direction.

While the USB-To-Ethernet adaptor was slightly slower, at 80 Mbps there was little noticeable difference. Files moved quickly from one system to another via 100 Mbps fast Ethernet. Copying the same file using AirPort wireless took 50-90 seconds.

Stability

While other USB-To-Ethernet drivers are reported to be buggy, I havent encountered any stability problems to date. The adaptor turns off when the computer goes to sleep and comes back on when the computer awakes. It does not support "Wake On LAN" at this time.

Wrap Up

This USB-To-Ethernet Adaptor combination could be an attractive solution for a Mac Mini, or old iBook used as an Internet gateway or server. Im particularly fond of using old laptops as servers since they are compact, quiet, use little energy, and include their own battery backup.

Have you ever noticed that when a dialog box comes up, you have tomove the mouse from wherever it might be all the way over to the dialog?Snap-To automates this little wrist jerk, moving the cursor automatically toits most likely destination -- the default button.

Many sufferers of repetitive stress injuries (RSI) and carpal tunnelsyndrome report that Snap-To has worked wonders for them bysignificantly reducing the distance they have to move the mouse.

Even ifyoure fortunate enough not to have such afflictions, Snap-To can provideyou with noticeable speed improvements when using your Mac, and keepyour carpal tunnel that much happier.

Snap-To also has a couple of extra features, such as the ability toautomatically disable itself in Open and Save dialog boxes, where youremore likely to want to select a file or type a name first. Snap-To can alsosmoothly "glide" the cursor over to the default button instead of abruptlysnapping it there, or put the cursor back to where it was before the dialogbox popped up.

Whats New in This Release:

· The Snap-To control panel now has a svelte new look.
· Removed the "Outline Default Buttons" option -- it was useful in the past, but causes more trouble than its worth in modern applications.
· Removed the "Show Startup Icon" option -- the new trend is for startup managers to handle this. Snap-To now always displays its icon if left alone.

"Its About Time" to learn iPhoto is, quite possibly, the best way for new users to learn the basics of iPhoto. Before our product, you had to buy a 395 page book to learn how to use iPhoto.

Our research shows that most beginners just want to learn the basics - how to import their photos from their camera, organize them into albums, edit using crop, and share via email. We also found that people prefer learning by watching someone and then trying it themselves.

So, thats exactly what we created. Saied - former Apple employee and instructor - will show you how to use the basics of iPhoto through videos and notes and have you will try right after. Our tests show that beginners learn much faster and they have fun doing it. Guess it really is about time.

It s about time someone created a learning tool that takes advantage of today s technology. It s About Time to learn iPhoto is designed for iPhoto beginners. You ll learn how to import photos and delete the photos off your camera; Organize photos in albums so you can always get to the photos you care about; Edit photos using the crop tool; Finally, share your photos through email. We found that people prefer learning by watching someone and then trying it themselves.

It s About Time to learn iPhoto is completely interactive. After you watch Saied, the instructor, show you the how to do something, you ll try right. You ll have a great time practicing and perfecting the basics of what iPhoto has to offer.

We are taking at home learning to a new level by adding a face to the mix. Learning something with someone that you can see is so much more beneficial than learning through a thick book or video with audio in the background. Saied (a former Apple employee) will guide you through each lesson in 3 steps. One, you ll just talk about what you re about to do.

Sometimes features are confusing and that s where Saied rocks. He ll explain everything in layman s terms. Two, you ll see Saied perform the feature so you know exactly how to do it (you can watch him do it as many times as you need until you understand). Three, you ll actually perform the feature. It s really fun!

Don t worry about memorizing any steps. We ve added a sheet of paper behind the iPhoto window that lists out every step to use the feature. As you can see in the above screenshot, we re learning how to organize photos. If you rollover a step, a spotlight will automatically show you exactly where to click to perform that step incase you forgot. How cool is that?!
