Very similar in many ways to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.obdev.at\/products\/launchbar\/\" title=\"LaunchBar\">LaunchBar<\/a>, it&#8217;s scoring points over LaunchBar for me in three important aspects.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Speed. QuickSilver is <em>fast<\/em> once the initial setup scan is done (and even that didn&#8217;t take very long on my machine). No more of LaunchBar&#8217;s &#8220;Initial System Scan&#8221; on every startup.<\/li>\n<li>Functionality. While QuickSilver looks to be able to do everything that LaunchBar can, it can also handle a lot more (including iTunes, which is a very handy little trick).<\/li>\n<li>Price. It&#8217;s freeware. What more can be said there?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Download it, check it out, and see what you think &#8212; there&#8217;s even an (unofficial) <a href=\"http:\/\/vjarmy.com\/archives\/000620.php\" title=\"A better OS X in just 10 minutes\">online tutorial<\/a> to help get you started playing.<\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cynics.info\/laments\/2004\/03\/quicksilver.php\" title=\"QuickSilver\">Jim<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A piece of Mac freeware worth touting: Quicksilver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2039],"tags":[65],"class_list":["post-2362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-apple","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2362"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2362\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
