Here are the most interesting findings this week:

Prevent iPhoto from opening when plugging in your iPhone - any iPhone user (including myself) that one of the most annoying things about the iPhone (and I guess OS X’s reaction to it) is that every time you plug it in, it launches iPhoto to import the photos you’ve taken. It wouldn’t be annoying except that it starts iPhoto EVERY time you plug it in, or even switch between users. The easiest fix is to turn off the feature to start iPhoto when ANY camera is plugged in; however, I still want iPhoto to run when my digital camera is plugged in… just not my iPhone. Enter this script, from 37 Signals, which solves world peace and ends world hunger (ok, maybe not, but it does fix this annoying “bug”).

.htaccess Editor - I’m a little cautious, as well I should be, about messing with my .htaccess file. This little utility helps you create a proper .htaccess file with many of the most requested features (error pages, redirects, etc.) using a slick online menu, and then export the finished file… brilliant!

Caffeine 1.01 - I’m not a coffee drinker, so luckily this little app has nothing to do with actual coffee. Caffeine is an app that does one thing - and does it well. Caffeine prevents your Mac from dimming your screen, activating your screensaver, and going to sleep… and now all from the menu bar.

9 to 5 Laptop Sleeve - This has to be the coolest laptop case I’ve seen in a while!
