Mac Pilot 2.0 opens up hidden OS X features

Mac PilotI just stumbled upon Mac Pilot 2.0, an OS X tweaking app in the spirit of TinkerTool that goes above and beyond the other tweaking apps I've seen. Mac Pilot 2.0 runs on Tiger, and the new version boasts over 110 new features (which you can find in the download's release notes), and some of them - such as disabling a second processor, choosing a screenshot capture location and enabling the "cut" Finder function - are pretty unique. Mac Pilot's full capabilities offer a boatload of options for customizing many hidden features of the Finder, Dock, Safari, Mail, Disks, Networking, Sharing, System, logs and other miscellaneous options. Mac Pilot also has GUI access for about 26 other tools and operations such as rebuilding prebindings, recreating the OS 9 desktop link, verifying preferences and updating the 'locate' database. A fully functioning 15-day demo is available and a single user license will run you a mere $9.95, while school and business licenses are available for $79 and $99, respectively.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
