If, like me, you don't have any friends, you can use a hashtag to find the photos you want (and InstaLive provides multiple layouts, so you can find the configuration you like best). By streaming your Instagram feeds to your desktop, InstaLive gives you everything but the blackmail letter. Instagram fans who can't live without a frequent update of their friends' drunken selfies/future blackmail fodder are in luck. And if you're feeling adventurous with shells, there's a script for that too.Īnd you don't have to worry about being smote by the ghost of Steve. But what's a person who loves both her Macbooks and the instant gratification of live wallpaper to do? Live wallpaper-a backdrop with attention-getting movement and/or a constantly updating stream of data-may have been all the rage in the mid-2000s with the PC crowd, but not so much for the devotees of Apple Inc. So although I can change my desktop to one of my vacation pics from Hawaii, as well as swap out my screensaver at will to even more vacations pics from Hawaii, I wouldn't mind some motion to the Pacific Ocean. Heck, I'm surprised that Apple lets me approach their computers without a cleansuit and a certificate of immunization. Just enough to personalize it.īut famously, the Cupertino-based company doesn't like it when anyone fiddles with its pristine environment.

So may the ghost of Steve Jobs smite me for admitting this: I like the idea of modifying my Mac. I find Macs intuitive and usable, and I've never once felt that way about C: drives and D: drives and oh-god-why-me drives.

I've never owned, or even seriously used, a PC. My name is Carol Pinchefsky, and I'm a Macaholic.
