TUAW Desktop of the Week

About the dock, just like previous commenters, yes it's true that it can be done with Onyx. I tried it but don't really like it, would prefer it on the bottom or side, but in a small size. You know what's interesting, try putting the dock on top with an application then hide it, now that's interesting how not so easy it is to get it to appear.

About the istat, no need really to set the widget in developmental mode. Why not just download the istat desktop edition app. If any of you try & see the dock on top & hiding interesting, pls let me know..

I would also like to add that we *don't* delete comments that are not in our favor. If people are unhappy with TUAW or something our bloggers have written, myself included, and it is presenting the complaint in a manner that is at least halfway civilized, we leave it. Discussing the (civilized) bad with the good is a policy we hold in the highest regard.

#22: Derek, unfortunately, no you can't say anything you want. We have the right to delete comments and ban commenters if we believe they're getting off-topic, malicious or downright cruel to us or other commenters.

There is a level of civility we require on our blogs at Weblogs, Inc., and all we ask is that people treat each other like human beings. Cursing each other out, personally insulting each other, us or our bloggers is out of the question. Period. If commenters have a problem with something going on here, we welcome a discussion about it. What we don't welcome is tearing into anyone or throwing civility out the door.

We hope you understand, and thanks for reading TUAW.

Hey Dave, what do you think this is??? its a damn blog, we can say whatever the hell we want

I recently discovered CLIX:

it does everything:

this is the command that does the dock pinning thing:
defaults write com.apple.dock orientation -string top;killall Dock

Come on, any of this would beat that,

Folks: if you aren't happy with a post or another commenter here, that's totally fine. All we ask is that, while posting your arguments or disapproval, please check the foul language and personal attacks at the door. If something we're doing is upsetting you that much, then you don't have to read or hang out here. It's that simple. We simply ask that you don't flame us or other commenters; let's keep things civil.

I agree with you steve...the funny thing is I took a closer look and Quicksilver is running in the dock...why you would have Google desktop as well is beyond me.

You can use macPilot to both pin the dock up top and put widgets into developer mode...

why on earth would someone use google desktop instead of quicksilver?

@ Bang:

You do realize right, that some of us over the age of 20 find you much more embarrassing to the "Mac community" than TUAW ever will be, right?

Here's an idea: Head over to the *worse* Mac site on the web, macdailynews.com, where Apple can do no wrong, where all criticism of any thing Apple creates is "thoughtfully rebutted"...usually via a distortion of facts and where guys like you can circle jerk each other all the live long day.

The absolute *worse* thing for the "Mac community" is yet-another-mindless "Mac Fanatic" that is incapable of honest discussion and debate.

That would be...you :)
