I'll post this on MacUser tomorrow.
Oh great I'll wait for that, I know you said that you are not into organizing but it would be great if you could add a thing or two about organizing in iTunes and iPhotos!!
@goobi and gx
Merging .mov clips in to single .mov file tip worked like a charm. I didn't see any loss of quality and it took less than 2 mins for the job!! Great tip boys

Wait a minute. That guide has been written by me. Give me the praises! Give me the cheers! Give me teh...give me.... (credits for this monologue goes to the all knowing duck)
As for Photos, like I said, all you need is iLife 08 (works in Tiger, better with Leopard).
iTunes, I'm not really sure what you want to do. By itself it does an amazing job at organising your media. Just make sure your album/artist tags are set right, add in all the album artwork and it's all good to go.
As for converting movies to AVI, I'd suggest you try FFMpegX: *homepage.mac.com/major4/
I for one have no knowledge of video converting and such. I just use VisualHub for converting movies, which I think also does MOV to AVI convertions. *www.techspansion.com/visualhub/

In in that tut you have given the credit to aryayust, but you know what, you rightly deserve credits for that simply because you put up a short tut for all of us!!!

Yea, @goobi. I'd really like that to happen. Lately, I've found myself using the iCal a lot.
However, my query about the overdue events in iCal still remains

Have you guys seen the video for the leaked 1.1.3 firmware of the iPhone?

Web 2.0 Applications Are Invading the Desktop
The first Mac application to bring a Web 2.0 application to the desktop was iTunes. The iTunes Music Store can be accessed from within the program’s interface and is deeply integrated with the program itself. Based on this idea, along came another application called Mailplane. It is essentially a web browser, but one that is dedicated solely to running Gmail. It is a unique application that integrates the web interface of Gmail with the various features of desktop email clients and with other programs on the Mac, like iPhoto. The lengthy feature list includes just about every feature imaginable, from drag and drop attachments and Google Talk to iPhoto and Growl integration. Take a look at the screenshot below. If you like what you’re reading (and this blogger highly recommends it), head over to the beta request page to request a fully functional beta of the application.

[Mailplane gives you a bucketload of features to interact with Gmail.]
After Mailplane and iTunes successfully demonstrated how useful desktop applications dedicated to specific Web 2.0 services can be, along came Mozilla (the makers of the wildly popular Firefox and Camino web browsers) with the idea that anyone should be able to make a dedicated application for any Web 2.0 service they frequently visit. The basic idea is that you enter the URL of the website into a dialog box and the application creates a small application for you that resides on your Mac and can only be used to visit that specific website. It’s like stripping a web browser to the barest minimum requirements, setting a homepage, and eliminating the address bar. Read more...

I don't think a poll can be removed. Doctor already cleared that out.
But here's what I think can be done.
1. Let Aayush create a new thread
2. Doctor splits this topic from the 2nd post onwards.
3. Doctor merges the part with the thread created by Aayush.
4. We all sing La la la la la....
Now, ofcourse, before you do anything, a backup is always good. But then again, the mods cannot backup. Oh well. The poll is fine.
