Geek Tip: Get Wikipedia Access From Mac's Dictionary Application!
Say what you will about Wikipedia, but it's become an utter must-have site. Whether I'm at home or at work, if I'm at my computer, I visit Wikipedia a few times a day, at least, to look up a person, thing, whatever. Now, Apple has made it more convenient to get to — you can access it from the Dictionary application!
Geek Tip: Work Together With Screen Sharing
The first time I used iChat's Screen Sharing feature was to help my mom figure out how to attach a photo in an email. Apparently, this whole technology thing still keeps my parents entertained, 'cause they told all of their friends what went down the next day. Since then, I've used screen share to collaborate on stories, photos, and of course, help my parents figure out how to spin up their www, aka, check their emails.

WWDC: Apple Announces New Technologies For Snow Leopard
Here we are at WWDC, in the midst of hot Apple news, and now we're onto the nitty gritty: the technology itself.
Bertrand Serlet has the honor of introducing Snow Leopard's new technologies, which revolve around taking advantage of the power of your processor. They include:
- 64-bit Mode: Using 64-bit mode takes advantage of the mass of memory, hitting a limit only at 16 billion gigs rather than four; this means the processor can move much faster in 64-bit mode, and all of the major applications will run in 64-bit mode.
Leopard Print DS Lite Skin: Love It or Leave It?
All this time I've been looking for the perfect Nintendo DS Lite case, but I hadn't even considered a skin! Leopard's ins and outs as a trend seems to have ceased and cemented it as a classic, so I could see throwing this Leopard Print Skin by DecalGirl on my DS Lite, especially since it's such a small gadget, and while cute, the DS alone is a kind of a plain blank canvas. It's only $14 and a totally animal-friendly way to sport leopard skin.
