Quicksilver 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 newforms 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.

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.

one of the best app ever, really.

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.

It doesn't matter if this guy is shy.

Nice app, but it's really annoying to listnen to this guy. Guess you can't get mad at him either as he excuses himself in the beginning.

For anyone that does not use QuickSilver: go get it now! Do yourself a favor and just start to play around with it. Google Quicksilver for tutorials and you'll bve amazed at what you can do with it and how it speeds up working with anything!

I can't wait to play around with this. Nice presentation and I'm amazed how good it looks!

So few comments? It's first app I install on a new mac...
