Tutorial: How to Change Your Dock 3D to 2D

I figured I would throw this simple tutorial out there for all the Mac enthusiasts that want a new and rather classy looking Dock. This new Dock is actually 2D, and the 3D dock and has a nice clean look to it. You can see everything clearly. Now I will also include how to change your Dock back to 3D, and a website that has some cool Docks to download and use with their app.

To change your 3D Dock to 2D, go into Terminal and copy and paste this code: defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES

Press Enter/Return and then copy and paste this code: killall Dock

Press Enter/Return again and you should have a new 2D Dock.

If you want to go back to 3D, quit and go into Terminal again and copy and paste this code: defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean NO

Press Enter/Return and then copy and paste this code: killall Dock

Finally, press Enter/Return and your Dock should revert back to 3D.

For other Dock changes, I have found a helpful website: http://leoparddocks.com There you can browse and download Docks, and then download the application. Remember though, when using that app, make sure you go into Terminal and change it back to 3D, and then use the Leopard Docks app.

Tek Nation Episode 1: Apple Updates Galore

Many of you may know that the Apple.com store was shut down for mantinence yesterday because it received a few updates. The Mac Pro received a much overdue update. In August Apple will be selling a 12 core Mac Pro for a ridiculous price of $4999. But, it is a really fast and powerful machine, that will last you for a long time. Another new update that was very necessary was the 21.5 inch iMacs recieving a spec bump to the intel i3 processors. The Apple LED Cinema Display also received a long overdue update. Come September Apple will be selling a 27 inch LED Cinema Display for $999. A little pricey for a monitor. But, it does feature a built in mic, speakers, 3 usb ports, and other features a standard display would not have. The display also has a gorgeous 16:9 aspect ratio. The last big splash Apple made with their silent updates is with their new Magic Track Pad, which was leaked on MacRumors.com is the Magic Track Pad. It's basically a bigger version of the multi touch Track Pad featured on a MacBook Pro. Now, I'm not really sure why anyone would buy this. But, I will hold back all of the hate before I actually get to experience it for myself.

Tech Survey: July 26, 2010

Today I have a tech survey for you guys. I recently saw David's video to take the survey. Most of the questions are about the Mac, such as: Windows on a Mac, TextEdit, Word, or Pages? Do you use Spaces?

I thought the questions were very cool. I don't think I took the whole survey since I have the 10 minute cap, but the questions I answered were very interesting about my Mac. Do you want to know my answers to all of the 35+ questions? Take a look at the video above.
