How long is Steve Jobs gonna be around?

6th June, 20117th March, 2013 Marcel StörNo Comments

I was shocked when I realized how skinny Steve Jobs has become. The below picture from WWDC 2011 is seriously scary. He seems to walk on toothpick legs; just skin an bones. I’m worried, truly worried.

Printing booklets on OS X

30th June, 201022nd October, 2018 Marcel StörNo Comments

On Windows machines I’m used to using FinePrint to pre-process every document before it’s actually sent to the printer (2 on 1 page, 4 on 1, booklet, watermark, template, etc). From that suite of features what I miss the most on OS X is the ability to print booklets. Turns out there are at least […]
