“To get Super-Clean-Screenshots on your mac hold down the Command, Shift, and 4 keys, then press the Spacebar. Instead of a cross-hair cursor, a small camera icon appears. When you move this camera icon over the element you’d like to capture, that element is highlighted. Click your mouse or trackpad, and you’ve captured a screenshot of just that element — no further cleanup required.” – Apple

Lifehacker has a great tutorial on Creating Custom iPhone Ringtones For Free.

“Apple has introduced a simple and free way to create and sync your own custom ringtones to the iPhone using GarageBand (i.e., Mac only).
The first thing you’ll need to do, if you haven’t already, is download and install the latest update of GarageBand from Software Update (at the time of this writing, that’s version 4.1.1). Once you’ve installed and restarted your computer, turning any song on your computer to a ringtone is a breeze. Here’s how it works.

1. If you’re using a song from your iTunes library, just open GarageBand, open iTunes, and simply drag and drop the song from iTunes to a new track in GarageBand.
2. Now click the Cycle Region button, which will activate the region loop tool.
3. Now adjust the length of the region to the section of the song you want to export to iTunes as a ringtone (40 seconds long or less).
4. Finally, when you’ve got everything set the way you want it, just go to the menu bar and click Share -> Send Ringtone to iTunes. GarageBand will automatically convert the song to the proper format and sync it to your iTunes library as a Ringtone.

Simple, no? Likewise, if you prefer to create ringtones of your own music, just build your own tracks in GarageBand and repeat steps two through four. If you’re a Mac owner, creating custom ringtones for your iPhone just became dead simple.”

I’ve been admiring the GUI of Google Analytics for some time and when I saw this tutorial on the one pixel notched corners on AskTheCSSGuy.com I had to post a link to it here. Enjoi!

I’m a avid follower of PSDTUTS so when they announced the launch of NETTUTS I was really stoked. The family of design and development content sites is growing with every project these guys launch.
