Toggle screensaver password applescript

November 28th, 2008 § 19 comments § permalink

There’s a fix for working on Snow Leopard, just read on MacDuff. Thanks to David and Januz for this!

Recently, I’ve been looking for a script to toggle my screen-saver password for my MacBook.
While out and about I want to make sure my Mac is safe from stray fingers by making sure a password is required before waking, but when at home or in university there’s no need for this extra layer of protection.

Searching the web I found absolutely nothing, except a few scripts that were old and broken.
The only solution; I decided to write my own. You can download the applescript here in zip form (10.6 – Snow Leopard compatible version here), or view the script in your browser here (10.6 – Snow Leopard compatible version here). (Warning – it’s not the easiest thing to read!)

Matt Berry’s ‘Get a Mac’ ad

September 9th, 2008 § 0 comments § permalink

Snuff Box is another great comedy from British comedian Matt Berry and Yankee Rich Fulcher. If you’re into The Mighty Boosh then you’ll love this as well.
While watching one of the episodes, I think I may have come across what could (and should) be Apple’s next TV ad.

Note: Clip may contain some swearing and violence.
Snuff Box is not for the faint hearted!
