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? ;)

GTK hack (mac-menubar)

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.
