Amusing
A superb series looking at how everything builds upon, improves and combines past discovery. This part 3 concentrates on Remix in Technology. Citing the most obvious example: the rise of Apple. Make sure to visit the website for references and more sources: Everything is a Remix.

My favourite:
Enable ‘X-Ray Folders’ in QuickLook
The QuickLook feature of Finder is great, but if you use it on a folder, you won’t see anything except a folder icon. Using this hidden setting, you’ll be able to see the contents of the folder when you use QuickLook.
defaults write com.apple.finder QLEnableXRayFolders 1 && killall Finder
To turn off, replace the ’1′ with a ’0′.
Ô the irony of advertising: here I am reading a post on Apple dedicated blog Tuaw titled “This is why I stay with Apple” where author Chris Rawson explains that a key reason for him to stick with apple is his hatred of Windows when I am prompted to update the SilverLight plugin. No doubt, this is due to an ad running on the page using Microsoft silverlight!
