Why can't Spotlight have web like results

Is is just me, or would Web Search like results, ie bing etc, be extremely useful ?
Does anyone else wish they could have that on their Mac?

You can see website results.
Open System Preferences > Spotlight > Search Resullts
Make sure Webpages is selected.
A web type format would not work for applications, documents, etc.

Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, I already did all of these things. As you can see from the below screenshot, the language is already set. Also, this screenshot was taken in Safe Mode, so NoScript is not enabled. About:accounts still says I need to enable cookies for some reason. So, this solution didn't work....

Why can´t i have more than one initiator task on my bpm process

Why can´t i have more than one initiator task on my bpm process
In this case, i will have two separeted process where each has its initiator task?

Hi Diovani
Two different processes can have different task initiators...task initiator means creation of a process instance which can happen only once

Why can't we have a real 'finalise'

Hi :)
As we know, all advice about the 'finalise' method is to never
use it, don't override it, pretend it doesn't exist, and if you ever
actually do write code in it, make sure it doesn't throw an exception,
and make sure (can't remember if this is just a 'myth') that it
executes in a very small time period.
Now, i don't have a problem with the requirement for this implementation,
but why can't we have a 'finalise' method that we can implement code
in.
Personally, I would love to have such a method where I can close my
resources, even do other things to conceptually 'end' my objects life.
Consider how ridiculous it would be if an OO language said: "yes,
there is a constructor, but don't write code in it ..., oh, you wan't to
'initialise' your object you say? well, create a pattern or interface or
whatever, implement an 'init' method, and always call that'. Anyone
who had a programming language tell him that would drop it for
a more sensible one.
So come on ... we have a method (even as many as we feel like, assuming
signatures) to 'establish' our object, why are we disabled and disallowed the
option of having one to finalise it (even; not sure of the appropriateness: ones
matching the constructor signatures).
who's with me? :) !

Where is your problem ?
Use a finally clause...Hence the fragileness. Out of the population of
developers, what percentage do you suppose remember to
do that? It would be MUCH better for the VM to take
care of it, destructing/finalizing objects either as
soon as they are no longer strongly reachable (hard to
implement), or at least at SOME point before the app
dies (the GC COULD have been designed to GUARANTEE
running before app termination)What I mean was that you can do something (clean up used connections, streams etc.) but let the GC do the rest. By the way it isn't guaranteed that the GC will run a full garbage collection before you close.

Why can't we have superdrive and retina display and HDMI in one macbook pro?

Its good to have a lighter macbook pro for those who don't need the superdrive....BUT, What about those (like myself) who desperately want a superdrive in their macbook pro and also the retina display!! And, Why can't we have a regular HDMI in macbook pro with a superdrive....this is so frustrating! Whats wrong with apple!

I might actually buy a windows laptop. So sad.
No need, as long as Apple continues to offer a notebook line-up that includes built-in optical drives, to buy a Windows machine... yet.
As I said, the only thing that I use my SuperDrive for now is backups of all those digital software deliveries, documents, etc. If I finally break down and buy an external Blu-ray drive, I won't use the SuperDrive at all. But right now I have almost 12 years of back-ups on DVD, both single and dual layer - so, for now, I need my optical drive.
I'm hoping that - one day - Apple will sell MacBook Pros with Blu-ray drives. Hey, I can wish, right?

Why can't itunes have DVD extras avaliable to download??

How come on every site out there that that makes movie available to download, there are not any extras or special features that are avaliable? I don't think i am a minority out there when i say that the only reson i buy DVDs is specifically for the extras or the commentaries, other wise i would just Nextflix them. So why can't itunes make them avaliable? Like if you buy the movie then they can have the commenary build in like as dvds have them build into the audio tracks. Or maybe the other extras can be a free extra dowload avaliave to people that purchase the movie. Otherwise i'm not paying $14.00 to download a movie that does not contain the special features that the DVD would have contained.
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

iTunes movie downloads only have what the studios allow.
I am sure that the studios make more money with DVD sales also , that could be why no extras in iTunes.
I won't download movies because of the low quality. A 2.5" screen for 2 hours, hahaha.

Why can't spotlight see my iPhoto Library?

So, my wife's iPhoto (version 9.4.3, 10.8.5, iMac, intel core 2 duo, 8 gigs ram) couldn't find some of her older photos from pre-2006. I went to her pictures folder to see if I could find the photos in her library, and her library wasn't there--no icon, nothing. I then did a spotlight search, and spotlight couldn't find her library either. So I went to her Time Machine backup and her library was there, and I only went back a few hours to retrieve it. But, without even reinstalling the library to her computer, when I went back to her computer, her library reappeared, and when I opened iPhoto I could see the older photos. But, there's still a problem. The iPhoto Library photo doesn't show up in her spotlight searches. My iPhoto Library shows up in my spotlight when I do a search on my laptop, so I think there's still something wrong either with her spotlight or with her library folder. I repaired the permissions on her iMac and restarted it. Anyone have any ideas as to why spotlight can't see her library even though it's now opening in iPhoto? (BTW, I can still access her library through Finder as well.)

So, iPhoto can find the library now, but Spotlight cannot. The Library is in the correct folder (Pictures), but it vanished the other day for no reason. The last time my wife updated her iPhoto she said it had to "rebuild the library database" or something to that effect. I don't know if that had anything to do with it's sudden disappearance, then reappearance after I found it in her Time Machine Backup. My question now is why wouldn't Spotlight be able to see her iPhoto Library? In other words, when I do a search for it in Spotlight, the only thing that pops up in the search field when I input "iPhoto Library" is the application, and the application can open the Library now. Something is still wrong. Could it be a spotlight problem?

Why can't I have more than one iTunes linked t my iPod

I have Macs for years, all sorts, I currently actively use, iMac g417,iMac g5 20, iMac intel 24. G4 Mac Mini,Intel Mac Mini, G5 tower, G4 Tower, powerbook g4 and mac book. Yes I know but I work from home with Mac all day...
I have thousands of songs, all legal, I'm old and have huge CD collection.. I have them spread around the Macs.
I want to add different playlist from different iTunes to my iPod, just want to drag and drop. Don't care about iTunes store, my CD, my Macs, My iTunes, My Ipod, Not pirating any thing here, WHY CAN I NOT SIMLY DO THIS. I'm forced to go with another player that does not have these retrictions

Hi Dean, I have no problems using my iPod simultaneously with my notebook and desktop (iBook G4 & iMac G5). All you need to do is un-check the "sync" iPod with iTunes box, or check manually manage music... whatever it is. As long as you are manually managing everything, it should not give you any problems. You can drag and drop to your heart's content! A few notes: MP3 CD's... are amazing, because you don't actually have to import them to your computer, you can just drag and drop the tunes onto your iPod. It might be to your advantage to back up your music libraries on MP3 CD's, the initial process is slightly tedious, but well worth it because you can always create CD's in the future if necessary and free up GB of your hard drive (I'm sure you already thought of this though, you sound pretty savvy.) The ONLY problem I do encounter is sometimes the iTunes on my G5 will just close on me. The trick is to only MANAGE the music from the initial iTunes regardless of where you ADD music from... if that makes sense. Alright, good luck and if you have any questions or anything needs clarifying, just drop me a line (or reply or whatever) Good Luck!
P.S. I am using the newest iPod Video 80GB, I don't know if that will make a difference or not, but both my sisters have different Nano's and they work the same way that mine does.

Why can I reach other web sites but not my own! w/ Airport Extreme?

I can get on line and reach other sites via Safari and IE with the connection via Airport Extreme. But I can't reach my own web site!!!
And my Mac Mail is not useable because it says,
"Connection Failed: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "[email protected]" or try again. The server error encountered was: The server "pop.patternglass.com" cannot be contacted on port 110."
Honestly I've tried! Earthlink hosts my web site and they say its working - and it IS for everyone but me! Comcast is my ISP and they had me disconnect my Airport Extreme and connect my computer directly to the modem. Voila! It all works perfectly. Went back to Airport Extreme and same problem.
There was no 'event' that signaled the change. One minute it was fine last night and the next minute it was gone. Help me, please!

An answer to another question I had about Mac Mail fixed this problem (I can get to my web site) but I still can't get mail into my Mac Mail Box!
I still get "Connection failed. There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "[email protected]" or try again.
The server error encountered was: The server "pop.patternglass.com" cannot be contacted on port 110."

My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPads and iPhones don't in the house, just the iPod touch gen 5, entering the password every time is a pain, why can't it have a button to remember password like all the other devises.

My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPad, and iPhone 4's don't in the house.
Why doesn't it remember the wifi password like the other i devises, it's a bugger entering it in every time.

You late question did get answered:on the 18th of this month. Sounds like you did not like the answers. Starting a new post without mentioning yur first post wastes people time
My iPod touch 5th gen isn't charging and when I plug my working charger in that I've always used a message pops up that says "This accessory may not be supported". So can I send it in for a new one if I have a warranty?

Why can't we have multiple exposures like our Nikonian friends? Hmm?

Seems to me like this should be achievable through software.
I'm kind of curious as to why even mid-range Nikons can do this, while only the top of the line Canons (new 1D and 5D MKIII) are capable of it.
Is there a hardware or technical limitation preventing this from being implemented on something like the 600D?
As it is I have to rely on an old EOS 500 film camera to do these (or make them in photoshop - which takes all the fun out of it!).

You make a good point.
Canon seems more interested in carving out and staying in segments than offering more bang for buck to buyers to get them into the system.
There is a LOT that can be done in software. Just look at Magic Lantern!
