Finally it’s here…

But not quite here yet because currently, the Google Chrome for Mac is for developer preview only. You can download but the thing is not stable here and there.

I’ve downloaded and I like it very much. During this 2 hours using it, I found no problem what-so-ever yet. The clean interface and larger viewing area are the thing that pleased me when browsing site using Google Chrome.

Reset or some called it “revirginize” is putting the Leopard to state where it’s first bought/installed, where you would see welcome screen/video and setup/customize your Mac OS X Leopard installation.

1. Enter “Single User Mode” – (press Command-S during startup)
2. Check file system:

$ /sbin/fsck -fy

3. Mount root partition as writable:

$ /sbin/mount -uw /

4. Remove file .AppleSetupDone (hidden file):

$ rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone

5. Remove user(s)

$ launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist
$ dscl . -delete /Users/{username}

6. Remove user(s) Home directories:

$ rm -rf /Users/{username}

7. Reboot

I think the option 4 is the key procedure here that make the installation reset to its initial state.

During searches for codes and examples for BriefCase, found out that (from my observations) the UI most implemented on the application is a source-view type. What is this? You can see this type in Mail.app, iTunes, iCal and many other software out there that implement this kind of UI. I think it is more simple yet intuive and show less crowded interface. I might be opt for that UI in my next BriefCase client for mac but who knows what will happen. Anyhow, managed to have that kind of interface but without functions yet. Hmm.. see here for some of screenshot of the application that uses that kind of interface.
