How to: Replace your iTunes dock icons with cover flow

*This is not my original idea of changing icon dock, just sharing :)*
*Original source of turorial link is below the page*

Do you ever feel bored with your iTunes icon displayed in the dock of your Mac OS?
Today when i was browsing internet i've learnt from a website to change it with the cover flow of your current song playing.

So i thought of sharing it in here.

Firstly, you may need to download DockArt in order to complete this task.

Secondly, press the Command + Shift + G from your keyboard.

 

Insert  ~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-Ins/ to the pop out folder option.

Unzip the DockArt that you've downloaded earlier.

Move the 'DockArt.bundle' file to the folder that you've opened.

Quit your iTunes if you're opening it. And restart it.

Play a song. That's it! :)

Introduction about the Protector.

'Stealth Guards are a Clear Scratch Resistant film that protects your device from scratches. Our clear scratch resistant skins are the perfect way to protect the investment you've made in your new device from dings and scratches. Precision cut to fit your each device perfectly. Our scratch resistant material was originally designed to protect helicopter blades from dust and debris.

For installation instruction video, please watch the video.


Installation Steps:
1) Clean device using a lint free cloth.

2) Spray fingertips and the protector with solution/alcohol/clean water. (I'd used Clean tap water in my case, but alcohol is more prefer because it has faster evaporation than water.)

3) Applied the protector adhesive side down.

4) Using a credit card squeengee excess solution out. (I used credit card, to push the bubble/solution out slowly)

5) Wipe excess solution using a paper tower.

6) Allow to dry up to 24 hours, or use a hair dryer to speed up the drying process.

Enjoy your phone with the protection!

My personal experience on it:

First time when i applied it on my iPhone 4, i felt it's kind of failure for me. Coz there are quite many bubbles on it.
Until i read from the installation part online, i used a credit card to push the bubble out slowly. It works!
Some small bubbles still exist thou, left it for 24 hours. Seriously the bubbles gone! No kidding..
No my phone is quite nice with it, just that one of the edge has some dust on it. I can't avoid it coz i put it in my pocket all the time.


My trade list:
1) Vincent1602 - iPhone 4 x 1 - PAID - LG11 710 657 8MY
2) Lau (Non-forumer) - iPhone 4 x 1 - PAID - COD
3) Lein (Non-forumer) - iPhone 3Gs x 1 - PAID - COD

Wall sticker DIY

Few days ago, me and my family went to Aeon Jusco in Melaka.
Bought a wall sticker for RM119 and another small wall sticker FOC.

So, when everyone spending their time celebrating National Day (Not really),
I hide myself at home and decorate my wall instead.
Here's the results.

Before:



After:


One thing i've realised that is a must before you paste it on.
"Must clean the wall first!" hahaha i forgot to clean it up wtf.

Here's an instruction on 'How to DIY your own wall sticker'

1) Plan the entire layout and design the look you want. You may cut out the individual graphic.

2) Fix the decal temporarily with masking tap on the surface so as to give an idea on the actual layout.

3) Peel off the backing slowly. If the graphic is adhered to the backing back on the transfer tape; rub the graphic with a card and try again.

4) One the backing is removed, placed the decal on the surface as designed. Move hands slowly and firmly over the graphic from one direction. If needed, rub the graphic slowly with a card to remove any bubbles. Do not need to press the transfer tape without any graphic on it.

5) Remove the transfer tape slowly from the surface.

Stealth Guard Protector for iPhone 4 Review

This is the very first time i received mail from United State.
First Mum was shocked, how come i hav this mail from there?
Okay, if you followed my own Twitter , you would probably know that i've registered from Stealth Guard Company with the free protector.
I was told by my gf, Kassie about this promotion.
Which i don't know what's the reason they are giving free protector for all the iPhone 4 user.


This is the envelope with United State stamp on it.


The Stealth Guard protector. It's cheap tho, and i've ordered two.
Seriously thanks to StealthGuard company for the protector.
Soon when i unwrapped the envelope, i quickly applied on my phone.


From the results, this is a failure for me.
Is it my skills or because of the protector?
This is my first time failed in putting screen protector seriously.
Never fail before.


From my side of thinking, i felt that the protector is very soft.
and it's hard to stick properly on my iPhone 4 even tho i've tried slowly.
There's bubbles easily which i wonder why.


The size isn't match perfectly with my phone, if i'm matching the camera spot with the camera, the bottom part of protector exceed my phone body around 1mm.
For the bubbles occurred, i've tried to push it using cloth.
Success removed some of the bubbles but it still looks ugly.

Maybe i should attempt the second protector instead of this one? haha.
But for now, i found myself a very efficient way to make my phone look beautiful and sexy as before.
Want to know? Seriously it looks good with this method!
Scrool down for the answer.

Okay now it looks good with my casing from DC Mugen, Ebay.
FML. epic fail.

However, still be very grateful to Stealth Guard Company with this protector.
Although my first attempt failed but i believes there's always a better results on the second attempt which i believe happens in short while.

p/s : Heard from my friends. The bubble will be auto dissipate out for some short time. Let's observe this in this few days time! :)

pp/s: Okay, after 24 hours of applied on my iphone 4. The bubbles are dissipated as what my friends told me. Now it's lesser bubble. But there's one things i've notice, the edge of the protector are dust sucker. Quite some dust on the edge now.

Everything's smooth now. Bubbles are gone! Left some dust because of my mistake during installation. Anyway, there's an installation guide from StealthGuards company itself.

How to change your macbook white unibody RAM?

On July 23th, i've received my RAM parcel from forumer through LYN.
Was experienced slow switching apps with my 2GB default RAM,
and finally i'm get to change.

Firstly, prepare screwdriver for unscrewing your mac.
Here i took out the smallest from my screwdriver collections for tis purpose.


Unscrew the eight screws of your mac.


The screws are very tiny and better keep it at a safe place to prevent lost.


Here goes my cover. Look solid metal from inside tho.


and the fan spot is quite dirty,


Nice interface from the mac. Remember de-charge your static charge of your palm on the metal surface on the left side.


The hard drive.


My new 2GB x 2 Corsair RAM.


Push the pin at the two sides of the RAM, to lift it up.
Pull the RAM out carefully. Insert the new RAM with the same method.

Tada~ this is the old default 1GB RAM. It's from Samsung btw. hehe..

From 2GB to 4GB, significant changes on fast switching applications.
Especially i'm doing dual-boot Windows 7 via VMware, shouldn't be a problem.
Photoshop, iphoto, itunes, tweetdeck and etc can be open all in once without any slow response problem. :D
