Thanks for the tip explaining how to insert characters from the Character Viewer. Prior to Lion, there was an “Insert” button that I’d always used. Couldn’t figure out how to do it in Lion.
Mostly, though, I appreciated your rant on patents. You or other listeners might be interested in Mike Lee’s Brown Ribbon Campaign on Software Patents – http://mur.mu.rs/?p=303
I’m running into the problem of the close tab “X” intermittently disappearing from Safari tabs in fullscreen mode as well. I’d be interested if you come up with any sort of solution for that. In the meantime, I’ve just been right-clicking on the tab and choosing ‘Close Tab’.
