iCab Favicons 1.2.1.0
iCab Favicons: Allows you to disable or enable iCab 4.x bookmark favicons. This may prove to be useful as this function is not available in iCab. To clean your bookmarks of favicons, simply export them to your Desktop. Next, delete the bookmarks from iCab's Bookmark Manager (Command-Shift-B) and then import the bookmark file from your Desktop. Since this script can toggle the state of the favicons, you can enable them for sites where you want the favicons and disable them for other sites.

Zune HD 2 to be more like iPod touch, use WP7?
Microsoft's decision to drop the Zune HD from its XNA development kit may actually be hints at plans for its sequel, leaks indicated on Tuesday. Multiple sources toldZDNet that the follow-up touchscreen player will be "similar to an iPod touch," indicating a more general-purpose role than the media-heavy Zune HD. With Windows Phone 7 as the only known mobile OS supported by XNA 4.0, the shift implies that Microsoft may use a variant of its phone OS to drive the next Zune....

Set incredibly precise volume levels using AppleScript
Mac OS X's default volume control hot keys change the volume in huge steps, but you can use Shift-Option and the Volume Up or Down keys for quarter-step changes (see this hint). Still not fine enough for you? AppleScript to the rescue, once again. Though it has some oddities, AppleScript can be used to set the volume based on an entered number. Here's the first quirk: the number of squares filled in on the HUD will be twice the number you typed in. So, typing set volume 1 sets the volume to level two. (There are 16 squares total, so you can enter a number from 1 to 8). You can use decimals to set the volume by individual square, too: set volume .5 fills in one square. You can, amazingly, extend this functionality to even greater levels of precision. Want to set the volume to three and one-fifth squares (i.e. 3.2)? Type set volume 1....

Apple board appoints Andrea Jung as co-lead director
Apple has quietly made Andrea Jung, the CEO of Avon, a co-lead on its board of directors, says Bloomberg.

Thursday will mark her first shareholders' meeting with the new title; she is replacing Bill Campbell, a veteran of the board and a mentor to CEO Steve Jobs. Campbell will continue to serve on the board in a lesser capacity....
