In OS X Leopard, I will be able to take snapshots of any webpage and make a widget. Now I don’t have to wait for this feature, because Dash Clipping does this for me already. Dash Clipping is an easy to use widget. Just enter any website address into the widget and poof! I noticed on my Intel MacBook Pro, I have to reload Dashboard to see the website appear in Dash Clipping. I can drag the website around and resize the window, no scroll bar though.

Now I can stalk Craigslist for free stuff in Dashboard!

Download Dash Clipping at Apple’s Dashboard Widgets Website: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/dashclipping.html

“Perian is a swiss-army knife for Quicktime” Perian supports many movie formats beyond the typical Quicktime .mov files in Quicktime Player. Perian will allow me to watch Divx, XviD, FLV, AVI and more right in Quicktime Player.

It’s easy and it’s free, go and do it.

Perian solves all the gripes I always had with Quicktime Player. So if I don’t feel the need to switch, I can watch anything in Quicktime Player. Earlier, I posted an article about VLC, a worthy alternative movie player for Quicktime. To learn how to play WMV files in Quicktime, read the post I Dig Internet Radio.

Download Perian from http://perian.org/.
