Wow. Can science really do this? It would be impressive if they could pull it off, but it does look doubtful.
I’ve enjoyed tiger, but haven’t scratched the surface of Spotlight or Smart folders:
When I get a bunch of files from a client, I run a quick little Automation or Automator Action or whatever to “tag” the files. Then I set up a Smart Folder to collect all files with those tags, in addition to files containing contact names. I end up with these neat little folders that collect everything related to a project: files, versions, e-mails, vCards, and even bookmarks and typefaces. I used to spend way too much time collecting and organizing files into neat little hierarchies. Now I just dump everything into a “To Be Filed” folder that I clean out once a month. (Spotlight and Smart Folders help here, as well. It takes a few hours once a month to clean up than an hour every couple days or so.) electrospeck
An Rdoc widget, for your favorite ruby documentation repositories, and soon an irb widget, which might be of less use. This is something I might actually use dahboard for.
Funniest thread I’ve seen on metafilter in awhile, excompassing all this ‘unstoppable fighting technique’ bs.
