Haha, the world is a small place after all 
@arya:
That "this" link is a link to my post itself. I'm x3n1x there, and that script doesn't work too.
First, I need a shell scrip that will reboot the router. If that is done, it will be easy to schedule it. I need the script that will reboot the router.

Since I removed Vista and put XP from the PC, I didn't bother putting Safari on it. Only now I realise what Safari means to me. The snapback feature, the text box resizing, the RSS. I miss Safari and gonna download it right away...
[And I must say, Safari for Mac looks smoking with the new 'look']

It is screaming fast too. What is it with Leopard! Everything seems to be on steroids. I'm sure they have a patented new technology for Spotlight that allows it to read minds, applications launch before the completion of the first bounce, Mail seems to be ridiculously fast, Front Row has no lags whatsoever... like I said, it must be the steroids.

Okay, I got the script.
Can someone tell me how do I schedule it ?

Hey, I didn't know that was possible. Thanks!
Though I, in general, really appreciate the Mac community which has a lot of intellectual people writing good opinion columns, great websites recommending the best in software, sites like TUAW offering exhaustive coverage of all things Apple and fledgling forums all over the web full of enthusiastic Mac users eager to help other users, there is something wrong with the Mac community too.
And that is excessive attention to absolutely non-significant detail. Look at this picture. Just consider this for a moment: This situation would occur only when iTunes is the active application and the wallpaper is the one that is there by default. And even then, it only affects a tiny little 'o' that no one would notice.
And yet, somehow, this is the reason why people hate the translucent menu bar. Whoa! Get over it, folks. There is nothing wrong with the menu bar. The text is very clearly visible and I'm hundred percent sure that there can never be any readability problems there.

I don't see a problem with the menubar on my Desktop when I use it.

One of the comments in that link of yours:
Totally agree with this one. There are *some* pictures that don't go with the new menubar, but on an overall, it makes the desktop look much better. And readability has *not* been an issue as of yet. And I constantly switch between Coda, Photoshop, Indesign so the menus keep changing, but still readable.

This is friggin' amazing. Milind was right.
My friend, who has a MacBook with Tiger installed, came over and joined my Wi-Fi connection. Immediately, he appeared in my Finder sidebar under the Shared section. WTF is this! This is absolutely zero configuration networking. One-click backup and zero configuration networking!
This company is staffed by friggin' genius mind-readers, I tell you!

I can't run a shell script to run using iCal. It only takes .scpt files
Also, I'm friggin amazed by the Touch. Me and my friend visited Chroma superstore and that thing is just awesome. He's buying it tomorrow

Yeah that network thing is pretty amazing. And especially so when it comes to connecting with my PC
It still has bugs though, but overall the way it is *supposed* to work is great. Btw, wouldn't it have been supercool if the icon depicted what exact mac was on the network (like how the iPod icons are the exact same model and colour). I know it's asking a lot, but when it comes to Apple, we are a spoilt lot...
Two things I noticed:
iTunes doesn't follow the unified interface in all it's glory especially when it comes to the inactive window. Finder and Safari and such go very pale when the window is not selected. iTunes stays it's selected dark colour which can get confusing sometimes.
I also realised why Apple decided not to go with the blue wallpaper. Try it out and see. It looks really crappy on leopard especially with the new menubar.
Btw, I just noticed that while taking a screenshot with the Command+Shift+4 target mode, you can now move your selection by pressing the spacebar just like in Photoshop. A much appreciated improvement...

Okay I know I'm going a bit on and on over here, but I find a lacking "artist" view in iTunes. Just as we created Albums in iPhoto before Events came along, I think I am creating Artist playlists instead of some new view in iTunes.
Coverflow does display it the way I want, but running around through Coverflow is not the exact way to find music. I haven't yet conceptualised on how it is going to look, cause Artists aren't exactly the same as iPhoto events, but it can and should be done (especially by Apple). Just a thought.

It wil be really great if you post his experience and comments after buying it ok ? I am planning to buy one in the near future and would love to get some feedbacks from Touch users.

Sure dinkar ( is that right ? )
Personally, if you have 17K to spend on a music player, then its really worth the money. Safari is fast as usual, the UI "is so cool" and the Touch is really something you'll cherish.
But I'd really suggest that you try it yourself than listen to others' opinions.
