People Who Need People

I love the People and Yellow Pages widgets to track down addresses and phone numbers. I also love the fact that I can instantly add the info that I find in these widgets to Address Book with just one (well, two) clicks.

Once you’ve found the listing you want to keep, just click the little plus sign that appears next to the address. In the confirmation dialog box that appears, click the Yes button and the info immediately appears in Address Book.Could it be any easier?

You Don’t Need A Weatherman

As my in-laws in Minnesota told me, “If you can’t talk about the weather, you may as well get a t-shirt that says ‘I’m not from around here.’” Here’s how to get more out of your Weather widget.(You ARE running Tiger, aren’t you?)

If you’ve got the Weather widget open and you want more information about the weather in your pick city, click on the city’s name. That launches Safari and takes you to Accuweather.com, where you’ll find more detailed weather information. If you have cookies disabled in Safari, AccuWeather.com may not save your default location.
