Expand Finder Columns Quickly

Column view in the Finder is great for navigating through your disk's hierarchy, but the columns often aren't wide enough to show the full names of all the files. To expand a column to a width that will show all file names in their entirety, double-click the handle that you would normally drag to expand or shrink the column. To expand all the visible columns to that width, Option-double-click the handle.

Apple Reschedules WWDC Yet Again

Apple Reschedules WWDC Yet Again -- In a move that will no doubt cause even more consternation, Apple today announced that it has again rescheduled the upcoming Worldwide Developer Conference, this time to coincide with the new Create conference that replaced Macworld Expo from 14-Jul-03 through 18-Jul-03. Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations, said, "Between our discussions with the MacHack organizing committee and the just-announced availability of room at the Create conference in New York City, this move became the obvious best choice for both Apple and the Macintosh developer community." As before, the Apple Developer Connection will offer help for those who have already rejiggered their airplane and hotel reservations to match Apple's previous choice for the WWDC venue - San Francisco in June.

Overall, the move makes a lot of sense, since even Macworld Expo has been incapable of filling the cavernous halls of New York City's Javits Convention Center, and it's unlikely that Create will draw nearly as many attendees. That means there's plenty of unused room, and Apple was probably able to negotiate a good deal on the space. Though New York isn't cheap, combining two conferences into one may save significant amounts of money for companies that would have to attend both WWDC and Create. And, of course, now Create will get a Steve Jobs keynote and the accompanying product introductions that ensure that Macworld Expos are never dull. [ACE]
