Recovering a Lost Usernames and Password from your Mac itself!

Using Firefox? Asking it to remember your password? If yes, then it is easy to recover it too!

Go to Preferences in Firefox --> Security --> Saved Passwords --> Show Passwords! BAMM!! It shows all the sites that you have saved passwords to and also the usernames and passwords ...

Converting Mono Sound to Stereo in FCP!

Found this wonderful video online at http://tufuga.net/2009/tutorials/mono-to-stereo-in-final-cut-pro/! I was having issues with my Zoom H2 when plugged into my camcorder. The sound was awesome but only mono. Then this video helped me get the sound in stereo!

That white stuff on Apples ...

Bought some apples from a store, washed them and put on my counter. Hmm ... there appeared some white stuff...like a residue... on the skin of almost all apples and wouldn't go away even after a lot of washing.

OK, it's wax, that stores or shippers put on fruits for them to stay fresh and look shiny and healthy. Is it safe to eat? I wouldn't want to eat wax ... I would peal the skin away... and maybe buy from a local farm.
