Safari 5 URL Completion list

Apple came up with Safari 5 last week, it has some nice features like Reader, Extentions and DNS Prefetching, but also some pretty annoying things like the URL Completion list. It doesn’t work that well because it searches in your history on URLs, but also on the name of a website.
It’s turned on by default and there is no option to turn it off in Safari’s preferences. Though it is easy to turn them off, in the Terminal.
Fire it up and type

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari5IncludeFancyURLCompletionList -bool NO

Now restart Safari, clean your history, and you should get rid of that nasty completion.

Update: seems it does not work…

Just another (NERD?) quote

Hey, guys. Is there an easy way to split an array of 100 integers for example and write 3 numbers per line separated by whitespace into a file ?
#include “realeasyfunctions.h” / Split100intArrayWrite3xLineWithWhitespaceInto(FILE* f);

iPhone / iPod touch video behaviour

Because somebody asked me to search some people to do this,I decided to put it on my blog too and hope that there is some reaction on it.

If you have access to an iPhone and/or iPod Touch, try playing the first 30 seconds of Big Buck Bunny encoded with 7 reference frames (4.5MB). Please report using the comments below:

- Your hardware type (2G, 3G, 3GS, Touch, …)
- Your model number (Settings -> General -> About -> Model)
- Your version number (Settings -> General -> About -> Version)
- Does it play with or without artifacts
Anything else that might be important
