Recent Mac computers come with a handy remote control. This remote let’s you interact with programs like FrontRow, iTunes, iPhoto and it can even be used as a remote for Keynote.

This code snippet which can be added to Textmate as a command will convert PHP object variable instances to associative array variables (and vice versa).
For example it will convert :
$thevar->somevar->anothervar

Here’s the code [...]
Wednesday, Apple released an update to the QuickTime player and iTunes. One of the nicest thing about this update is the fact that the ability to play videos full-screen is now also available for the free QuickTime version. Besides the full-screen option there were some updates to the H.264 codec and some bugfixes.
The iTunes update [...]
