Normally, I would do NSString *string; if(foo == 1) string = @"Foo is one."; else string = @"Foo is not one."; However, in some sample code that I've seen, I've seen people do NSString *string = ni...

After a period of iPhone work, I'm once again working on normal Cocoa apps on my MBP and I miss the "tap" gesture. I know that I can turn on the incredibly annoying "Tap to Click", feature in the Trackpad control pannel, but I don't want a click, I want a tap. I know it's probably not mac canon, but is it possible to receive this multi-...

So, when I set the login shell to bash, bash recognizes this ...
