  • Customizing Mac OS X
    03 539116 Ch03.qxd 3/25/03 10:30 AM Page 65 3 Customizing Mac OS X ac users have always been a creative bunch. One way that creativity manifests itself is in the way we like M to customize our computers. Nearly every aspect of Mac OS X can be adjusted, enhanced, or otherwise tweaked to suit your personality and your individual style of working. Some modifications are just for fun, while others can boost your productivity, save you time, and make your Mac a genuine partner in your work. The techniques covered in this chapter all involve some sort of customization. Whether it’s sprucing up your toolbars with additional icons, turning your desk- top into an animated aquarium, or bringing back your favorite interface features from Mac OS 9, the next sev- eral techniques can help you to make your Mac truly personal. Some of the techniques even contradict each other a bit (“Add more icons to your Dock! No, wait — remove them all!”), but that reflects the delightful real- ity that we all “think different.” Choose the techniques that best fit your needs and interests. 03 539116 Ch03.qxd 3/25/03 10:30 AM Page 66 03 539116 Ch03.qxd 3/25/03 10:30 AM Page 67 TECHNIQUE 10 PUTTING MORE “TOOL” IN YOUR TOOLBARS .

    THE APPSMITHS: COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, AFFECT AND IDEOLOGY AMONG COCOA DEVELOPERS FROM NEXT TO IPHONE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy| by Hansen Hsu May 2015 © 2015 Hansen Hsu THE APPSMITHS: COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, AFFECT AND IDEOLOGY AMONG COCOA DEVELOPERS FROM NEXT TO IPHONE Hansen Hsu, Ph.D. Cornell University 2015 This dissertation is an ethnographic study, accomplished through semi-structured interviews and participant observation, of the cultural world of third party Apple software developers who use Apple’s Cocoa libraries to create apps. It answers the questions: what motivates Apple developers’ devotion to Cocoa technology, and why do they believe it is a superior programming environment? What does it mean to be a “good” Cocoa programmer, technically and morally, in the Cocoa community of practice, and how do people become one? I argue that in this culture, ideologies, normative values, identities, affects, and practices interact with each other and with Cocoa technology in a seamless web, which I call a “techno-cultural frame.” This frame includes the construction of a developer’s identity as a vocational craftsman, and a utopian vision of software being developed by millions of small-scale freelance developers, or “indies,” rather than corporations. This artisanal production is made possible by the productivity gains of Cocoa technology, which ironically makes indies dependent on Apple for tools. This contradiction is reconciled through quasi-religious narratives about Apple and Steve Jobs, which enrolls developers into seeing themselves as partners in a shared mission with Apple to empower users with technology.
