Google Tech TalksAugust 30, 2007ABSTRACTQuicksilver hides almost unbounded power beneath the interface of a keyboard-driven launcher. Using a basic grammatical model, it allows you to move beyond basic search and work effortlessly with applications, data, and the web. Quickilver is above all a prototype intended to explore new forms of interaction.In this talk, we will explore the motivation behind Quicksilver, highlights of its implementation, lessons learned from its design, and the ways it might inform the future of navigation for the desktop and the web.Speaker: Nicholas Jitkoff Credits: Speaker:Nicholas Jitkoff

Yeah but it uses Mono, which is legally suspicious, and is hated by a significant number of open-source people because it looks like some insidious MS plot to bring down Ubuntu.

Yeah, Quicksilver was first.

@mrebus: Doesn't really matter that much, what does matter is that both applications makes your life a lot easier!I want to try out "Do" but I need to get gnu/linux on my macbook for that first.BTW: Thnx for mentioning "Do" I forgot about that application.

not a mac user but looks pretty close to gnome do. no idea what came first(suspect quicksilver did) however if you use ubuntu download Gnome Do its great too.

This is strange. A few months ago I had a problem exactly with the iTunes plugin, but after I updated with the latest version of quicksilver from the official site it downloaded and installed like a snap.

No, I've looked into all the possibilities... it looks like the iTunes plugin just isn't on their server any more.

May be you haven't updated with the latest version. Check for a new version on the web site.

I'm just 6 months new to the Mac family and I don't know why I put off this app until now. I've been using it for 2 days now and it just dwarfs spotlight in so many ways. Check out sr332603's channel. He's got a great 3 part tutorial for everyone who's new to QS. My mac experience has so much added functionality with this app. I think that this is the standard of how computing should be. Whether it's mac or pc, the level is raised. It just happens to be on Apple's court right now.
