Finder sparseImage folder to bundle using setFile

Had a sparseImage file called example.dmg which ended up somehow appearing as a folder instead of a dmg file. Ran the setFile utility to change the attribute and I was able to mount the sparseImage.

setFile -a B example.dmg/

Write Chinese Characters using Trackpad on Mac

From http://www.apple.com/macosx/refinements

Innovative Chinese character input.

Until Snow Leopard, if you wanted to enter Chinese characters on a computer, you had to type in the phonetic spelling of Chinese words and the computer would convert them into proper Chinese characters. Snow Leopard offers a breakthrough new way to enter characters: You write them directly on the Multi-Touch trackpad in your Mac notebook. They’ll appear on the screen in a new input window, which recommends characters based on what you drew and lets you choose the right one. The input window even offers suggestions for subsequent characters based on what you chose.
