The Applications in My Macbook Air’s Dock (OSX)

They are listed here as well, left to right:

  4. iCal
  5. Firefox
  6. Safari
  7. Google Chrome
  8. Tweetie for Mac
  9. Gabble for Yammer
  10. Skype
  11. iChat
  12. Coda
  13. Evernote
  14. Photoshop CS4 (sorry, not 5!)
  15. Acorn
  16. Base App (for Basecamp)
  17. Screenflow
  18. Skitch
  19. ImageOptim
  20. CloudApp
  21. Dropbox
  22. TextEdit
  23. iTunes
  24. Quicktime
  25. Picasa

And, that’s about it! What’s on yours?

    How do you create the gaps in your dock? I find myself repeatedly clicking on the wrong icon and some space between them would be great.

    I’m a baby Mac convert so keep it simple :)

    Yeah, same issue. I found this terminal command that isn’t working for me:

    ”
    defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add ‘{tile-data={}; tile-type=”spacer-tile”;}’

    then enter: killall Dock
    “

    Oops. It is an issue with quotes. Here’s the command:

    defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add “{ ’tile-type’ = ‘spacer-tile’; }”

    Press enter, then type:

    killall Dock

    This creates one space you can arrange accordingly. Just duplicate for more.

    Thanks John for sharing these killer apps!

        How does Alfred compare to Quicksilver? I find QS to be brilliant and easy.

    Saw that I was in the shot of your Tweetie feed.
    Is it bad that made me smile? :)

    Great little video. Thanks for the dock tips. Will try when I get home. Am forced to use a PC at work.
