I’m sure Apple is testing something, but this is a given. Why would we try to glean something from this? Silly people.
Usage logs show Apple has begun testing iPhone 6 running iOS 7:
Apple’s new iPhone and iOS software have begun surfacing in app usage logs…

Here’s a little productivity tip for those of you who may need it. In OS X, one of the features that I find is vastly underused is Spotlight comments. Wouldn’t it be nice if you had a way to tag your files quickly and easily with say… a “TODO” tag or something so you could easily find them and remember to work on something?
Using Automator, you can do this very quickly. Open up Automator and build out a Service that looks like this:
Like I said, you did this as a Service. So Save it. Now, anytime you have a file selected, the Service to tag this will become available in the top menu bar.
This is useful, but let’s make it more useful. Let’s assign a keyboard shortcut. Go to System Preferences/Keyboard and select Keyboard Shortcuts. Choose “Services” on the left-hand side and scroll down to your new Service. Tick the checkbox and assign it a keystroke. For me, I assigned it CTRL-CMD-T.
Now, when you select a file, hit your keyboard shortcut and the file will automatically be tagged.
That’s neat, but let’s make it EVEN NEATER.
Now go to Finder and make a new Smart Folder. Tell it you want to display files that meet criteria of a Spotlight comment containing “TODO”. You’ll end up with a view like this:
See the comments field? Now you can see the tag there. If you really wanted to get fancy, you could make Services with other tags and carve out smart folders for them. Good stuff.
Hi, just dropping in from raiding the lands of healthy heroes and creamy young virgins to let you in on a quick Apple Mail tip.
Do you use Apple Mail in an environment with Outlook? In particular, do those Outlook users prefer HTML mail? Do you receive mail from them with a microscopic font size?
Thanks to the tip I found here you can correct this issue.
Hope this helps. Flying back out to meet up with my sister Vermithrax and raid a few kingdoms today. Wednesdays are always fun like that.

Thank you…. had to use this today!
Hi, Do you have a terminal command for Outlook for Mac 2011? I am still having unPrOFessionAL eMAil messages sent with varying font sizes. Also, when I backspace the font in the message body turns into Helvetica.
Sorry, Outlook for Mac is a completely different (and frustrating) animal.
The net is abuzz tonight as MobileMe users recieve more notices that MobileMe still isn’t what Apple had hoped it would be, so it’s offering 60 days more for free.
Paul Thurrott has already played the part of the cynic and provided a rather insightful metaphor, but I’m going to come down on the positive side and say that MobileMe has been a wonderful experience for me. Not only has it been wonderful, it’s turned my iPhone into something I can only describe as a thing of glory.
Combining home data sync over MobileMe with work data sync over ActiveSync, all on the same device, has been absolutely wonderful. I realize, however, that the experience on Windows just isn’t that fab. That’s okie with me though, Windows users need to be using Apple products on Apple products anyway.
Kinda like Microsoft products work best on Microsoft products. It’s just common sense.
At least I think it is.
