Today Apple released a lot of new things:

Their line of iMacs now include Intel core i3, i5, and i7 processors, not more core 2 duo!

The Mac Pro now can go up to 12 cores. (who needs that much!?)

The Cinema display, is now 27″ and has a resolution of 2560 x 1440.

One of the most speculated products is the Magic Trackpad, which is a larger, bluetooth enabled of the multitouch trackpad on the macbook pros.

To go along with the trackpad and wireless keyboards, there is now a battery charger that comes with 6 batteries, and it is only $29!

Here is a simple way to hide applications icons from the dock

  1. Find the application you want.
  2. Right/Control click on the applications name and select ‘View Package Contents’ from the drop down menu that appears
  3. In the window appears browse to the ‘Contents’ Folder and open the file named ‘info.plist’ with TextEdit (default)
  4. At the bottom of the info.plist file, and the following two lines, and make sure to intent them so they match the rest of the formatting:

<key>NSUIElement</key>

<string>1</string>

Save the file and you are done! To reverse this simple remove those two lines

As I have recently changed browsers from Safari and Firefox to Opera I thought of an interesting question.  How do you surf the web, and are there certain reasons why you think that browser is better than others?  I recently changed for a few reasons.  First, Opera has absolutely no security holes(At this time).  Secondly, it has widgets, similar to Firefox add-ons, and some other reasons I changed over  were because of the UI (User interface) and the iPhone app they now have for the iPhone.
