Add Extensions to Contacts

Add Extensions to Contacts

It’s a common occurrence for a company to use an automated phone system where, when you dial up their number, the automated message states, “If you know your party’s extension, please dial it now.” Having to go to your contact’s notes section and figure out the extension, or worse, having already put it in your phone as “888-555-1123 x112″ or some other variation, and having your iPhone refuse to dial the number correctly, is rather annoying…

Bring back Dashboard overlay in Mac OS X Lion

Dashboard Space 3

Most of the new UI enhancements in Mac OS X Lion are great but some don’t get the same open arms welcome. Although I’m a pretty big fan of the new version of spaces, I really liked to old way Dashboard was an overlay on your desktop. I often use Dashboard for a calculator (I know, not really using to it’s full potential) and need to be able to see some data that I’m trying to input into the calculator. The new spaces version didn’t allow me to do this. Here’s how to change it…
