  • MercuryMover: move windows with your keyboard

    Filed under: ,

    I'm a big fan of keyboard launcher utilities like Quicksilver and LaunchBar, so I was intrigued by what might be thought of as the next logical step. MercuryMover is a little Preference Pane utility that allows you to move or resize on-screen windows without using your mouse. The idea is that you hit a user definable key combo and a bezel will pop up which lets you to move or resize the active window by a set number of pixels (or to the edge of the screen).

    MercuryMover is $20 and a demo is available from Helium Foot Software.

  • iPhone iSync: the beginnings of WiFi syncing

    Filed under: , ,

    iPhone iSync is potentially a very interesting application with great promise. It's a GUI implementation of an rsync-based folder synchronization tool that works with WiFi. This means it will sync a folder on your Mac to your iPhone/iPod touch over the wireless network. In the future, this suggests the possibility of iTunes syncing over WiFi... unfortunately, it's not quite there yet.

    The author, francisois, says that he has "reached a breakthrough that has allowed me to synchronize my own iPod Touch over wi-fi with an older version of iTunes," and he is working on getting iTunes 7.5 support but a few obstacles remain. Nonetheless, he eventually plans for syncing music, photos, contacts, and bookmarks over WiFi.

    Obviously you'll need a jailbroken iPhone to use this. If you have any experience with "shell scripts and ssh and especially iTunes library access," francisois is looking for help. iPhone iSync is a free download from its Google Code page.

  • Mobile Safari plug-in downloads files to your iPhone/iPod touch

    Filed under: ,

    Now this is just amazingly cool. iPhone hacker hachu developed a download plug-in for MobileSafari. Once installed and customized, it allows you to download data off the Internet and store it on your iPhone or iPod touch local disk in the /var/root/Downloads folder.

    I downloaded the package (it's variously on RapidShare and BadOnGo; see the hackint0sh thread for links) and gave it a whirl. Following the instructions on the thread for modifying the Info.plist file, I told the plug-in to download MP3 files. (I had to disable playback as well in the QuickTime plug-in--so make sure to read the entire thread!) Now back in Safari, when I navigated to an MP3 file and selected it, this green Download button appeared. I tapped it, and the file downloaded perfectly. Before, the QuickTime plug-in would have just played the file back in Safari.

    iPhone enthusiast RohitK asked if there was an easy way to play back these downloaded files using my software. As there wasn't at the time, I went ahead and modded my SendFile application to search ~/Downloads as well as ~/Media/Documents. You can grab a copy of the modded app here. This allows you to email, share and play back the downloaded media on demand, whether or not you are connected to the Internet.

    Thanks to RohitK and Xadacka.
