I really like them.

There’s a preference for it, using ‘defaults write’, to make all arrows always refer back to the local Library. For example, if I’m in iTunes DJ and want more songs from the album of the song I’m listening to, I command-L to locate the current song and option-click the album column’s arrow.

I actually liked the article. Safari 4 constantly opening links in new windows is getting frustrating.

The article pointed out that “it’s the little things” tweaked via the command line I tend to appreciate. Minor changes that improve usage (for me) out of proportion with what one might have expected. I wondered if others enjoyed “minor” tweaks as well.

That you found the article “pathetic” is puzzling. Then again, it’s also puzzling you think TechRadar is “offensive”.

If it’s not your cup of tea, then maybe next time, eh?

Thanks for the Secrets mention – it is indeed a powerful teaks library (if you will) wrapped in a gui for those with a fear of the terminal.

Why are you even bothering youself with something as inane and offensive as “Tech Radar”? If you want a comprehensive and non-douchey source of information on “command line tweaks”: go for the motherlode – http://secrets.blacktree.com/.
