Fun interview, but you guys set the bar too high with Merlin Mann
I use slimbattery monitor as well. For the customization freak, it’s better than the default apple battery thingy. Istat menu has a battery module that’s even better, but costs $15 or so for the package.
also, instead of unPlugged (which I have no experience with), you can use Hardware Growler. It’s from the growl guys and it alerts you whenever there are hardware changes. Ipod/volume mounts/ejects, power adapater plugs/unplugs, device connection/disconnect, etc. This is something I was use to in windows and felt weird about not having in mac.
(You could feel David and Katie dying a little bit inside as Jason explained how he doesn’t use any security.)
This was a great listen. I like knowing that even the guy who runs Macworld has found a way to survive with Mail, iCal, and (apparently) Address Book, albeit with a little help from BusySync.
awesome podcast
@Jason: You could merge your private and professional mail in Google Apps Mail by forwarding your private mail account and adding your private mail address as an available sender address in your Google Apps Mail. You can even choose to use the mail addresses the received mail was sent to for your replies. That’s at least how I have done it for some time.
