Well i have setup Spaces and Expose in my Mac . I have also configured mouse gestures to invoke Expose and Spaces in my Mac so that when i move my mouse pointer to upper left corner i see all of the open Windows . And similarly when i move my mouse pointer to lower right corner of Screen i see the Spaces. I frequently use the Expose than Spaces . 

But today i kinda found a bug or limitation in the Expose of Mac. When i miniminse one of the open Windows and just within a second if i move my mouse to top left corner to invoke the Expose so that i can see all the windows Open . In this case i still can see the blank window space representing just minimized window . The occupying space of that window doesn’t have anything visible but when the mouse points hover over that particular space seems Expose gives information of the just minimized window and when clicked the minimized window gets focussed. 

This doesn’t happen when i move the mouse pointer to invoke Expose after a Window which i minimized has completely minimized and stayed in the Dock. May be you couldn’t visualize all the things i have explained here — The below screencast should give a clear understanding about what i am talking about here.

Well there is one more very simple and minute reason i should be unhappy while using Mac ( being come from Windows world ). Its been more than half year i have been using Mac in my home computing use but still i am not used to its some of the behavior. This particular reason i dont like Mac is related to the Mac’s Window Full screen issue. Most of the Mac application dont go full screen to fit the monitor width but some of them do. For example i have used Adobe Photoshop which takes whole screen width while clicking Green Maximize control button . Similarly Adobe Reader and Default Mail app also behaves same. The problem i liked to mention here is even if the application window goes full screen to take the whole window width they are movable or draggable . Whats the logic behind this Apple ? Why the hell we want to move the application windows after it has taken entire screen width. We dont want to see the part of application window by moving it . The windows in this scenario should be fixed to the screen as long as user doesn’t click Green maximize button.

I will be on vacation till 12 october so this site will be updated after 12 october. See ya 

I am back

Every time i see a movie in my Mac with of course in its default Movie player - QuickTime, I always get irritated with its Seek bar. I have a habit of seeking back the movie to re-watch the favorite scenes in them. To do this i generally move the seek bar cursor to reach to that scene time stamp which i just found good.  Doing this in Windows Media player - Windows default media player is very easy because the Seek bar in Windows media player is wide enough to move the seek cursor to particular time stamp . (More to this Windows media player plays audio video both not like Mac which has two players for Audio and Video i.e., iTunes and QuickTime ). Basically Windows media player’s seek bar extends from very left of the screen to ver right leaving long enough place to seek the movie to desired time stamp.

But in contrast QuickTime in Mac has a very small controller which cant also be resized ( why ???????? ) . The controller fits all controls including seek bar . Moving the time stamp cursor in QuickTime seek bar never reaches to the exact desired time stamp . Because of this i hate to see movies in QuickTime . And even if i see movies in QuickTime i use the fast forward/backward button to reach to the desired time stamp to re-watch my favorite scene . I find this particular  control in QuickTime very frustating . What about you?

Well today i quickly noticed some kind of bug ( or a neglected thing ? ) in iTunes Latest version thats iTunes 8. I downloaded a Podcast video and was watching it . I went full screen ( Command + F ) . When i wanted to come out of the full screen mode ( again Command + F ) to normal mode it didn’t actually come to normal mode but it showed me the downloaded Podcast file instead of the video playing in smaller screen . As compared to Quicktime its not similar and i suppose its a bug or something which is neglected in iTunes 8 ?
