Since Safari 3.1 it's possible to use Safari in single window mode.
That means all links which normally open up a new window, now simply load in a new tab in the current window.
To activate this behaviour, enter the following command in terminal:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
To reverse:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool false
To boot your iPhone or iPod touch always in verbose mode, which is actually very useless, but looks cool, follow these steps:
- Make sure BSD Subsystem is installed
- Make sure Term-vt100 is installed, or you are able to set up a ssh session via your mac or pc
- Open up the terminal on your portable or computer and type the folowing command:
nvram boot-args="-v"
- and enter:
reboot
- Done.
- To go back to the normal boot logo:
nvram boot-args=

To boot Mac OS X in verbose mode, you could hit Command+V during startup, which brings up the familiar white on black console. If you'd prefer to always see the system messages on boot, you can adjust the firmware from the Terminal with the nvram command.
To turn on Verbose booting, at the Terminal type the following:
sudo nvram boot-args="-v"
Disabling Verbose mode:
sudo nvram boot-args=
And to see the current firmware nvram settings:
nvram -p
Warning: This should be used as a last resort, restoring will erase all of your data
- Firstly, you must have the iPod Touch plugged into your computer while doing this.
- To start, press and hold the home and sleep/wake button, the power off option will appear but ignore it. When the apple logo appears let go of the sleep/wake button but keep holding the home button.
- After a few seconds you should see the connect to iTunes image (you can let go of the home button now).
- Open iTunes and it should recognize your iPod Touch, if not unplug your iPod and plug it back in again.
- Restore your iPod Touch by clicking the "Restore" button on iTunes.
