Fill in Gaps in Pear Note
If you ever find yourself zoning out during a meeting or class, only later to realize that you forgot to take notes for 20 minutes, Pear Note makes it easy to fill in those gaps. To do so:
- Open your Pear Note document.
- Hit play.
- Click on the last text you did type to jump to that point in the recording.
- Click the lock to unlock the text of the note.
- Take notes on the part you missed.
Your new notes will be synced to the recording just as if you'd taken them live with the rest of your notes.

John Baxter writes: I've run into something that grammar mavens may find interesting. Consider this correct [English version] AppleScript code: tell word 4 of paragraph 2 of document 1 of application "Scriptable Text Editor" get it's text end tell Here, Apple has managed to make AppleScript syntax so English-like that it commits the all-too-common mistake of using "it's" instead of "its" as the possessive. You can of course also write that statement as: get the text of it That sounds terribly stilted, but at least avoids the incorrect use of the contraction in place of the possessiveShow full article

Power Macintosh Musings
The Power Macintosh arrived today amid a 90 minute Apple presentation beamed via satellite to over 300 locations around the world. We attended the gala event in Seattle, although except for some niceties such as PowerBars (usually for athletes), apples, and gobs of candy outside the hall and a short introduction by a local Apple person, everyone else in the world saw the same show. Apple provided little information of substance, but that's not surprising since the presentation aimed for glitz and market placementShow full article
