New trailer for MacHEADS movie posted

MacHEADS is a feature-length documentary about people’s unconditional devotion to Apple. Through a series of interviews (none of which with me, though I’m not hurt…much) with the Mac’s most dedicated followers, the film takes an in-depth look at the cult of Mac and the people (excluding me) who charted the machine’s rise to popularity, posing the ultimate question, “Is Apple losing faith as a community and becoming just a brand? …and where’s Rick?”

Warp Spaces. Smack Spaces.

picture 20080924 201235 Warp Spaces. Smack Spaces.Here are a couple freeware goodies that will give you a variety of ways to control Spaces and alter the way you’re able to use it.

The first one was just updated today and it’s called SmackSpaces. It gives you a super power that was available to us under Mac OS X 10.4 when Virtua Desktops was installed; namely the ability to Smack our Sudden Motion Sensor equipped Mac and be whisked to the next Space. Unfortunately, it runs as an application taking up room on your Dock. SmackSpaces was developed by Martin H. Pedersen who is currently offering for free.

The second Space altering app is Warp. Warp is a Preference Pane makes it as simple as dragging your cursor, a window or a file to an edge of your screen that borders on an adjacent Space and you and that window or file will be effortlessly taken to that neighboring Space. Whoosh! Kent Sutherland is the man behind Warp and he is letting you have it for free but the PayPal “donate” button on the page is giving me the idea that he would appreciate some monetary support if you end up using Warp on a regular basis and would like to see its development continue.
