Sep.7，Add columns to Spotlight search results
作者:范范 日期:2010-09-08
A major complaint about Snow Leopard is that you cannot add the Size column to Spotlight search results window. This is the window that you get by choosing "Show All" in Spotlight or by pressing Command-F in the Finder. When you go to add columns to it by choosing "Show View Options" from the View menu, you'll find that Size, Comments, Version and Label are all greyed out.
These options used to be available in previous versions of Mac OS X, so it's unusual that they are now disabled. You might assume that Apple disabled these columns for a reason, so bear this in mind before following these instructions to enable them again.
Sep.6，How to hide an app's Dock icon
作者:范范 日期:2010-09-07
OS X's Dock is a great way to organize the apps you use most commonly (as well as any others you might have open). But it can get cluttered quickly. MacOSXHints.com reader JamieF recently shared a Terminal command that could help you make some room by hiding an application's Dock icon.
To implement this trick for Stickies, for example, open Terminal, then type
defaults write /Applications/Stickies.app/Contents/Info LSUIElement 1
You can adapt that command to any other application by substituting its path and filename for /Applications/Stickies.app. To reverse the command, type the same command, but change the 0 to 1.
There's just one catch with this tip: The LSUIElement setting affects not only the Dock icon, but also the application's menu bar. That means that, while the setting is in effect, you won't be able to access any of the app's options that require that bar. You can still use keyboard shortcuts (so you can still, for example, get to the app's preferences by pressing Command+comma. But you won't be able to use any of the drop-down menus.
Sep.4，Make iTunes 10 control buttons horizontal
作者:范范 日期:2010-09-05
iTunes 10 provides a different layout for the Close, Minimize and Maximize buttons. Instead of being ordered horizontally, in iTunes 10 they're arranged vertically, like a traffic light.
Reverting the buttons to a horizontal layout can easily be done. With iTunes not running, open Terminal and enter the following code:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -1
To restore the vertical layout, simply use this command:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -0
Sep.3，OSx86应用心得四则
作者:范范 日期:2010-09-04
仅拥有SSE2 CPU的机器，安装VMware Fusion时，出现KP的原因？
因为vmmon模块不支持SSE2仿真模式。
进一步，不支持SSE3意味着不支持硬件虚拟化，因此Parallels也无法安装，结论就是请选择VirtualBox。

无法开启QE/CI时，可以借助Xcode中的OpenGL Profiler。通过它，我们可以让一部分需要QE/CI支持的应用运行起来，尽管速度将较为缓慢。

Sep.1，通过VMware Fusion运行安装于物理硬盘的Windows系统
作者:范范 日期:2010-09-02
藉由VMware Fusion中的Boot Camp项，我们可以在Mac下直接运行安装于物理硬盘的Windows系统。不过，一般情况下，容易遭遇boot0: error错误，导致运行失败。
究其原因，是由于VMware没有正确识别Windows启动信息所在的分区。通常，我们将引导工具Chameleon安装于Mac所在的HFS+分区。
知其所以然，解决就不难：
1、删除VMware中的Boot Camp项（如果存在），退出VMware程序；
2、将Windows所在的分区标记为活动，此操作可以使用Mac自带的fdisk命令来完成；
3、启动VMware，首页->从Boot Camp分区运行，启动安装于物理硬盘的Windows系统，并完成VMware Tools的安装。而后关闭Windows，退出VMware程序；
4、恢复之前的活动分区设置。
Aug.30，TM290 855GM显卡开启QE
作者:范范 日期:2010-08-31
- 安装10.4.1
- 从Darwin 8.0.1光盘中拷贝AppleIntel830.kext、AppleIntel830GA.plugin及AppleIntel830GLDriver.bundle至/System/Library/Extensions
- 编辑AppleIntelIntegratedGraphics.kext/Contents/Info.plist，将IOPCIMatch的值改为0x35828086
或许是由于TM290不支持在BIOS中设置共享显存的缘故？我们需要借助其它系统来预分配显存？读取BIOS中的显存分配信息？（问题的缘由纯属推测，无法肯定的下结论）以XP为例，建立XP/Tiger 10.4.1双系统，开机之后先进入XP，随后重启返回10.4.1，如此便可开启QE ～
Aug.29，Good command line usage habits and tips
作者:范范 日期:2010-08-30
If you use the command line frequently, chances are you may have some bad command line habits. IBM's DeveloperWorks site has posted 10 good UNIX usage habit tips, some of them are just pretty handy tricks in general and if you're new to the Mac OS X Terminal, you'll probably learn something since practically all of them work within the Mac OS X command line. Here's one of my personal favorites since it hit home with my command line activities:
* Change the path to unpack something into rather than moving the archive file itself, in this example by using the -C flag with the tar command:
tar xvf -C path/to/unpack newarc.tar.gz
I'm certainly guilty of moving archives around, but that's partially because I like to keep all of them in a central location. But if you're going to just delete the archive anyway, there's no point in moving the archive file around just to unpack it. Save yourself the keystrokes.
Here's the full list of tips in the IBM DeveloperWorks article:
