When you resize windows and make them smaller, you will lose some icons on your menu bars. This can be frustrating, but here is a way to keep your most needed icons in sight, even when you make the window smaller. This tip works with most OS X apps.

Keychain in OS X is a great place to store all of your passwords. In fact, when you login to your account, your keychain is unlocked, since you have authenticated by logging in. Whenever you use Safari to store a password, it saves it in the keychain - as do most Mac apps.

The problem I suffer from is that I constantly am forgetting a password to a site I have previously logged into before. Since some browsers don't work with the Keychain (Firefox.. Camino..etc), I don't have the convenience of Safari auto-filling in the blanks for me. By the way, this tip works for anything that you have saved in your Keychain.

Do you use Macs & PCs? Well, OS X has a built in networking technology called 'Bonjour', and it is one of the Zero-Config setups you are always hearing about. I use Bonjour for printing from my PC to a printer attached to my Mac, but it can do much more than that.

To make it simple, I use a program Apple provides free of charge - Bonjour for Windows 1.03 (download it on your PC -- not the Mac). It requires Windows 2000, 2003 server, or XP. You also need to have some type of home network installed, where your computers are setup so they can talk to each other.

Run the client on your PC (not the Mac), and then you can seamlessly network your printers & more with your Mac!

I am not sure what's going on with Talkshoe.com today (the place that hosts most of my podcasts).

When trying to download them it takes over a minute before they start. I put in a support trouble ticket with them, so hopefully this will be fixed soon.

I'll update you when I get some extra info.
Sorry about the inconvenience.

I guess not everybody loves the show. This listener has only written two reviews in iTunes, but I guess he liked me better than Inside Mac Radio. He gave that podcast 4 exclamation points after he wrote Annoying. I only received one. So, I guess it's not all bad!
