I got my Mac upgraded at work today and so started using the new Magic Mouse from Apple. First thing I noticed is that it lacks the middle click, which I use heavily with Firefox to open in new tab and close tab directly. I also thought about gaming :(

Anyways good news is that you can actually enable middle click on the Magic Mouse with a help of this cool utility. All you have to do is just use three of your fingers and tap/click the mouse.

The source code for this utility is also available.

I found this PJ floating over many places on the web and thought it would be fun to share with my readers :)

Letter from Banta Singh to Mr. Bill Gates
Subject: Problems with my new computer

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,

We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some problems, which I want to bring to your notice:

1. There is a button 'start' but there is no 'stop' button. We request you to check this.

2. One doubt is whether any “re-scooter” is available in system? I find only “re-cycle”, but I own a scooter at my home.

3. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this 'find' button, but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.

4. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Microsoft sentence', so when you will provide that?

5. I bought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows 'My Computer': when you will provide the remaining items?

6. It is surprising that windows says 'MY Pictures' but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that.

7. There is 'MICROSOFT OFFICE' what about 'MICROSOFT HOME' since I use the PC at home only.

8. You provided 'My Recent Documents'. When you will provide 'My Past Documents'?

9. You provide 'My Network Places'. For God sake please do not provide 'My Secret Places'. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office hours.

Regards,
Banta

As I am spending almost 10-12 hours a day working on a Mac, I have decided to begin a new section on Mac Softwares, Tips and Tricks on Techtola.

Today was the first time, I wanted to watch a Video of one of the F.R.I.E.N.D.S episodes on a Mac and the Quicktime player could not play it. My first attempt was to download VLC for Mac but unfortunately it was 29 MB in size and I wanted something smaller.

So I searched for K-Lite Codec Pack for Mac OS and looks like there isn't any like that. But I did find an equivalent of just 3 MB in size called Perian.

It adds support for a lot of formats in your default Quicktime Player. Just download the DMG, double click on Perian.prefpane to install it and enjoy :)
