I work on my computer/laptop 10+ hours a day, so I would like to have a keyboard that is Mac-compatible and ergonomic.
I found this one on Amazon. It is specifically made for Mac. However, I would like to get some…

I'm trying to create a Cocoa framework by using a cross-project reference in Xcode.
I have 2 projects: one for the framework; one for the application that will use the framework.
This framework is not intended to be stored within the system; it is an embedded framework that lives within the application…

In the past two years, I have been developing .NET from my MacBook by running Windows XP into VM Ware and more recently into Virtual Box from OS X. This way, I could install Visual Studio and be able to work seamlessly.
But, this way of working has a major down side: it kills the battery of my laptop……

I'm having a Mac computer at work, and the internet connection is through HTTP proxy.
I want to install fink (or macports, doesn't really matter), to have all the useful utilities (like mc).

I installed fink and ran this command from terminal: sudo apt-get install python-pyode. I found this command on the internet and expected it to work, as I just installed fink. Am I using the wrong name? Is there a different command to use for Mac OS X (10.5)?
