Quicksilver Or Steam Automatic App Switcher

( Apple andmisc andoriginals )

I know I’m not the only one with this problem – you’re playing Left 4 Dead 2 and suddenly you […]

I know I’m not the only one with this problem: You have this giant MIDI keyboard that doesn’t produce sound on its own, and most of the time, playing it doesn’t do anything. You have to launch logic, or mainstage, or ableton, or digital performer, open a new project, setup a new patch, and then […]
