13.3" E Ink tablet #
Sony is planning to release an A4-sized E Ink tablet later this year using E Ink's Mobius display. Until then, the Kindle DX makes a good computer monitor. (Note to hardware manufacturers: still waiting for a plug-and-play E Ink monitor for text-intensive tasks and perhaps even video/animation).

Download and combine F4F files into FLV #"Chug a Bug" kindly details how to download and merge F4F files into a single FLV file with URL Snooper and AdobeHDS.php (PyURLSnooper offers a cross-platform alternative to the Windows-based URL Snooper, though any app that captures HTTP traffic will work, including Firefox's Web Console). The gist is to locate the F4M (Flash Media Manifest) file and feed it to AdobeHDS.php.

Money #- "It does not require money to be neat, clean, and dignified." -- Mahatma Gandhi
- "Nothing that really helps towards perfection costs more than is within the means of every person who reads these pages. The expenses connected with daily meditation, with the building-up of mental habits, with the practice of self-control and of cheerfulness, with the enthronement of reason over the rabble of primeval instincts--these expenses are really, you know, trifling." -- Arnold Bennett
- "I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker in this cause. The example of great and pure characters is the only thing that can produce fine ideas and noble deeds. Money only appeals to selfishness and always tempts its owners irresistibly to abuse it. Can anyone imagine Moses, Jesus, or Gandhi armed with the money-bags of Carnegie?" -- Albert Einstein

"This may be the finest piece of word processing code ever written" #
VDE 1.96A [90k] + DOS/console text editor with an essential core of word processing features, including support for WordStar, WordPerfect, and Microsoft Word formats. 
Dvorak quote from 1990:
"This may be the finest piece of word processing code ever written. I have never been as impressed with anything as I have with VDE 1.5... writing software in 100 percent assembly language still pays off in performance and reduced code size. It's an astonishing product, believe me. It's more than the perfect laptop word processor... I cannot give a higher recommendation for any product that I have seen in ten years... Top recommendation."

Batch crop a stack of visually overlaid images like Briss #Briss allows cropping a stack of visually overlaid PDF pages to remove extraneous space.
I searched high and low for an app that could do the same for images. The only thing I found was PixEdit, which does the job admirably, but at a cost of £1,250. ImageMagick's awesome command line tools were not well-suited to the task, as the images were highly variable.
I posted a plea for help on SuperUser that was promptly downvoted and closed, but not before ForeverWintr kindly pointed me in the right direction: ImageJ. Johannes Schindelin generously filled in the details that I was dark on. Here is the complete walkthru:
- Open desired images in ImageJ (To enable multiple selection in the open file dialog box: Edit > Options > Input/Output... > Use JFileChooser to open/save > OK. Alternatively, simply drag and drop multiple files onto ImageJ's toolbar.)
- Image > Stacks > Images to Stack > OK
- Image > Stacks > Z Project... > OK
- Click the rectangle icon in the toolbar
- Click and drag over desired area (called a "region of interest" in ImageJ) in the Z projection
- Click on the stack created in step 1 > Edit > Selection > Restore Selection
- Image > Crop
- File > Save As > Image Sequence... > choose desired image format and options > OK

Where is the Microsoft Office 2011 update app? #Normally, Microsoft AutoUpdate is launched from any Office app via Help > "Check for Updates". However, if Office won't launch, you'll need to run it from this (annoyingly non-indexed) location: /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0/Microsoft AutoUpdate.app.
