I just noticed something about the OSX Leopard clock widget.
The second hand does wiggle about for a split second upon advancement just like a bedside alarm clock would to in real life, now how creepy is that for a software clock? ;-)
However i grant that it adds to the look and feel and does seem like the right thing to do to make people feel more at home on their desktops, sometimes its the little things that count.
I like it.

Yes its a panic, but it only occurred for me when i tried to restart (not shutdown ;-) the machine, which is why it took me so long to realize that trying to run an old version of Double Command on Leopard is a bad idea — i simply had no need for a reboot until the recent quicktime patch.
Symptoms: you hit restart, Screen is blank, HDD is still spinning, you get a kernel crash report after the next boot.
DoubleCommand 1.6.6b1 is available to be tested on Leopard and while i did not yet tried whether it works as expected at least i can reboot without a panic again. ;-)
Anyway if this hits you, try removing the following directories:
/Library/PreferencePanes/DoubleCommandPreferences.prefPane
/Library/StartupItems/DoubleCommand
Yes you heard right, the all shiny and new Macintosh Operating System Version 10.5 aka MacOSX Leopard lets you browse through the images of your spam with Coverflow.
I must say i was a little surprised to find that much images in my finder. I don’t have nearly as much in my Pictures folder yet. But then i realized the location of those images says IMAP- and that its actually all the images that my Mail.app had access to via imap earlier today, try it its kind of fun actually. ;-)
