Composite characters in Keynote
Hi! I'm preparing presentations for lectures I'm giving. I decided to try keynote instead of LaTeX for a try. Some things are a pleasure, but math typography is a pain. Is there a good way of creating a character with a hat or circonflexe on top? I need the equivalent of $\hat{\delta}$ in LaTeX, i.e. a lower ... 22 Oct 2009 08:31

Snow Leopard Safari Tabs
Hi, Suddenly my tab bar in Safari 4.0.3 (Snow Leopard) disappeared. Just prior to this my little "X's" to delete the tab went away. I googled for a solution and I ended up Resetting Safari. The "X's" were back but I have no tab bar at all. Command-T makes a new tab, and a tab bar. Could anybody steer ... 3 Oct 2009 01:20

Pages messes up bibliography on export
iWork'09 I have a document with some Endnote citations. On export to Word, it warns that merge fields have been converted to text. When I open the document in Word, sure enough, the bibliography is pure text (all field codes are gone) and useless for further work. It appears that Pages does not really work... 2 Oct 2009 16:32

So tired of TM and PreferencesSyncClient killing me in games

I need ye to find e^(π√67) - 5280^3 - 724, at best precision, and post the answer here and by which program. Other/Older versions of the same are welcome. Also tell here your computer if you care.

ABC video player
I'm not able to watch full episodes at abc.com any more. At first it said that it needed to upgrade the plug-in, so I let it do that, but it never completed. Then I removed Move-Media-Player.plugin from ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins, restarted Safari, and it said it needed to install the plug-in, but this just ... 19 Oct 2009 23:05
