GTK hack (mac-menubar)

I hacked my GTK to have a mac-menu applet that places the menu bar on the main gnome panel like Mac OS X (I did this for two reasons: I find it easier, as I used OS X before Ubuntu and not Windows; and I want as little as possible resembling windows on my Ubuntu installation ;P). You can follow the guide yourself if you want. Be very careful and don't miss a step (unless you know what you're doing) as it could mean fucking Gnome up ('scuse my french ;P). I used apt-build; you could try compiling it yourself without such an automated tool, but don't say I didn't warn you (E: Corrupt dependencies; please install lib-with-100-dependencies etc....) I used apt-build cause even though it compiles the thing, not install from binary, it's incredibly automated and easy to use. (although i wouldn't reccomend hacking your gtk for the average joe computer user..) and BTW as of time of writing, this hack won't work with OpenOffice.org apps and Firefox/Thunderbird. (as in, the apps will still work, just with the menu bars in the same place as usual).

OK I couldn't resist uploading a screenshot (yeh yeh, taking ur bandwidth :P lol):















Do you notice that the menu bar is at the top like OS X? Pretty cool, huh? ;)

ZOMG!1 HAXORD FEEDS on an iPhone

Apple's iPhone uses reader.mac.com to view RSS feeds. if you visit reader.mac.com with your average computer, you'll get a message about you not being on an iPhone.

I worked around this limitation*.

Now, if anyone can make some sort of script (greasemonkey?) to make this formatting readable, I'd be very interested.

It's not as good as srynznfyra's, but it's what caused him to create his.

OMG this is funny!!!

Getdeb

If you use Ubuntu, you might want to check out Getdeb, a site like packages.ubuntu.com. You might even want to add it to your repositories file, if you enjoy a bit of hacking and don't mind potentially mucking up your system.
