Insanely Great Tees, how to treat customers well

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

I want to share something that happened this week, because not many shops will have such a good response with their clients, and they deserve a mention.

Insanely Great Tees is an online store where you can buy some funny and "geek looking" shirts, so we made an order some weeks ago with some friends and we received a wrong shirt, one we wanted was the "Steve Jobs for President" and we received the "I'm a Mac",  so we sent an email to the customers support and the answer was really fast, they told us we could keep the wrong shirt and immediately sent us the good one.

We live in Spain and this store is in the US, our shirt arrived in only 2 days.

How to install extensions on Google Chrome

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

Although it's still under development and you can only use them with the Dev channel version, I find them very promising! oh, and you can install, activate and use them without restarting the browser.

In my case I installed Google Wave, GMail, Facebook and Google Reader notifiers, and here's how you can do it:

Google Chrome with extensions

Follow this easy steps:

1.- Install Google Chrome Dev Channel
2.- Go to Chrome Extensions website and search for your favourite plugins
3.- Click the "Add to Chrome" button, and it's done!

You can also activate, deactivate and setup extensions with the chrome://extensions/ link

A bug in Snow Leopard capturing maximized windows?

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.1, and if I try to make a screenshot of a window with cmd+shift+4+spacebar, and the window is maximized, the image appears a few pixels cropped in the right and bottom parts... it seems that Leopard is making a screenshot at the same max resolution (1280x800 in my case) but there's no space when adding the border shadows.

As some friends reported, if you take a screenshot using Preview (File - Take Screen Shot - Window) it does the right thing, but without the border shadows, and it seems to be working in Leopard

Are you experiencing the same issue?
