I don't use Synergy, because I find setting global hotkeys with Quicksilver is by far my favorite way to control iTunes.
Growl is awesome.
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well, I generally use the shuffle feature, so it's easier for me to just click the skip button in the menu bar than do a key combination. But they're both powerful.
Help again!
I put a blank DVD in the drive, pressed ignored when it asked me what I wanted to do, and now there's no icon on the desktop so I can't eject it, and I can't figure out how to burn something.
Being an IT professional who suddenly doesn't have a clue what he's doing is distressing.
Did you press the eject key?
Hit f12, for two seconds.

Unfortunately it seems to be remapped to Dashboard on my mac.
Unbent paper clip, if you have the little hole...?
it is on all macs, daniel, but the fn (function) key makes the command work.
There's an eject key? I didn't even realise. At work at the moment so I'll fiddle when I get home. Thanks all!

Is that a Tiger change? Hmmm.
I know there's not supposed to be a codec issue on Macs, so I'm not sure why QT balked at so much.
I love Growl. My father hated it, because up came a window he couldn't click on. However the idea that while I'm typing fast it's okay to give a new window the focus is crank-making to me. I hate when typing hits the combo of keys that makes a command decision on the popup and then dismisses it.
