Okay I got taking a photo with automator to work. I launch photo booth then used a mouse click macro to trigger a photo capture. Then I quit it.

He mentions an automator workflow and sleep watcher, doesnt really give any explanation on how he really did it.

I tried playing with recording and automater, but it wasnt happen about photo booth.

Okay, Lets go for an easier representation of this scale. The author states that 100 Million dollars fits on a standard pallet. If we take a standard us pallet[1], we find that within a standard container[2] we can fit 9 pallets[3].

There fore One Trillion Dollars will fit into 1 000 000 000 000 / (9 * 100 000 000) = 1111.111... containers. Lets round up to 1112 for the sake of transportation convenience.

If we take a large container ship like the COSCO Guangzhou[4] we can see that it will cary 9450 TEU[5] containers.

As you can see one of these large ships can carry 9450/1112 = 8.499 container loads of trillion dollars.

From this we can see that I expected a large container ship to carry much less, so my conclusions is kind of out the window. Damn that is a big ship.

Has anyone tried the link system? A quick try gives a link that can only be opened in another instance of the mac store, call be naive, but I was hoping something similar to pages on apples site considering iOS links.

I would prefer to see an X Window style alt to drag system, makes life moving windows much easier.

A note on the upper left hand 'control' buttons. Using the graphite theme there are no colours or controls obviously visible, so i didnt even notice the difference.

It took a comment on this blog post for me to notice that iTunes has vertical buttons. I hope that is a fair indication how often I even look at those buttons.

Refund is not exactly easy though. There is the initial challenge that puts off a lot of users from even attempting to. A google style model(using a time limit from purchase to deletion) would be much fairer.

Though it does seem obvious to me that these people are just after a way not to pay for software. This tool will just increase the pirated crap.

We might also get some commentary with this next release.

I cant see this lasting very long

I get paid by the day in my normal employment. It is fair enough on an 8 hour days, but when you fill 24 the hourly rate drops to shit.
