Two tips that have made my life better in the past day:
I can’t stand Google suggest. Even though I’ve set the preference to make it go away 1,000 times, it keeps returning. I think something with Firefox and new tabs makes Google forget your preference. To fix this permanently, set your Google bookmark as follows:
http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0&hl=en
Every time you load Google in a new tab, you’ll reset the preference with your bookmark. If you call up Google by actually typing in the URL – then you’re out of luck (unless, of course, you want to type the preceding URL).
Next, the new iTunes (8) has removed the preference setting that allows you to remove the pesky “link to iTunes store” arrows that appear next to songs. To remove, follow Tech-recipe’s formula: open up a terminal and paste in the preference as follows:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links -bool FALSE
Restart iTunes, and the links go away.
