Looked around for an Exif Editor for Mac OS X and found…
Latest version was updated today (Jan. 10, 2010). So, it looks like a “live” freeware project.
Parallels Desktop 5 was released. Upgrade price is $49.99. Not planning to upgrade Parallels or VMware at the moment because I rarely run VMs on my Mac these days and use the free VirtualBox when I do.
I guess I don’t scan paper very often on my Mac. I only noticed a week ago that my HP OfficeJet couldn’t scan a week or so ago. It scanned fine prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard. Found Apples…

Looking through VMware Fusion 3 new features list…
Not convinced I need to upgrade for $39.99 despite the impressive list of new features and reasonable upgrade price. I have not been using virtualization much on my Mac recently
Microsoft Mesh is one of several online storage services from the software giant. Others include Skydrive (my favorite) and Office Live. The latest version of Mesh is compatible with OS X Snow Leopard.
Mac Software, Snow Leopard Support Now Available
While it is compatible with both the older OS X 10.5 Leopard as well as Snow Leopard, Microsoft’s announcement says the update is only required for Snow Leopard.
Ugh. This is a note-to-self entry. Re-read this item on 9to5mac.com…

How to restore Lost home folder after logging in as guest in Snow Leopard
Here’s a really odd one that seems to be related to Snow Leopard. But, there’s a twist. After installing Snow Leopard, I found I can’t upload videos to YouTube. This is not something I do often. So, I didn’t notice it until a week or more after installing Snow Leopard. This issue is true when using Safari or Firefox. However, it is only true on my iMac. And, by “my”, I literally mean the one I use. I tried it on a slightly newer iMac and my old first generation MacBook. And, YouTube uploads work fine on those two Macs. I’m not happy with the idea of rebuilding my iMac from scratch (Snow Leopard was installed as an upgrade over Leopard). But, it may come to that.
Ran into a minor but annoying glitch with the Open Source Smultron text editor after upgrading to Snow Leopard. Word wrap doesn’t work correctly after the update. Text lines are shift one character to the right hiding the first character of each line outside of the left border. Forcing the first character back inside the window causes the rightmost character to be lost. This didn’t happen when using Smultron under Leopard.
Unfortunately, the lone developer decided to stop work on it earlier this year. So, I may be looking for another lightweight text editor for the Mac soon.
I update my main Mac this past weekend to OS X 10.6 (old MacBook got updated the day Snow Leopard came out). I noticed a problem with Google Docs’ spreadsheet that I didn’t notice previously. Here’s what I did:
- Go to docs.google.com in Safari 4
- Open an existing spreadsheet
- Cut 7 rows and paste it to a new area of the same sheet
The result was an unexpected mess that pasted more rows than I cut. And, the cell formats were completely different. This problem does not happen when using the same spreadsheet in Firefox on the same Mac.
