Take control of OS X’s clipboard
The clipboard is one of the most basic and essential pieces of every operating system. You no doubt understand the basics: cut, copy and paste, but have you ever explored further?

Some great shortcuts and a list of apps that can further customize the basic clipboard.

InDesign CS6 Pantone+ color glitch: a workaround
If you try to get Pantone 543 (or a number of other Pantone colors) in Adobe InDesign CS6’s Color panel, you’ve likely run into an annoying glitch. You simply can’t find it by typing it in as you could with CS5.
InDesign Secrets describes the CS6 Pantone+ glitch in detail, and offers some workarounds.
What I find most annoying about this glitch is that Adobe hasn’t fixed it with a small update yet, and that Pantone doesn’t make the older libraries available for easy download. Hopefully, the new InDesign CC (due to ship later this month) fixes the problem.
Proofreading tip: Speak Selected Text with a Keystroke in Mac OS X
Sometimes it’s beneficial to proofread text in your design work by hearing it, rather than reading it. Mac OS X offers a convenient way to do it, and OSX Daily offers a simple tutorial to show you how to set it up.
I use this feature quite often, but not as much as I probably should. Give it a try, you may find it quite useful.

Google Glass review
A whole pile of thoughts about Google Glass, from a Mac-using Adobe Engineering Manager.
This review has more of a lifestyle slant to it, rather than a tech one. It actually sounds pretty cool. Now if they can get the cost down to around $300, I might actually buy a pair.
