How to let items snap-to-grid by default in Finder?

!!! Attention: this article (and in fact my whole blog) have moved to site:

Are you also utterly annoyed that the items in the Finder don't appear in an ordered grid by default, but instead position themselves wherever they were dragged to in the Finder in Mac OS X? This is quite annoying, especially because when making the window smaller, the items don't rearrange themselves but instead hide themselves behind the current window size. Moreover, different items tend to overlap and in general it just makes for a very cluttered appearance.



The solution is to let items sort by name. While commonly also referred to as snap-to-grid, I have found that selecting that option only aligns the items in the grid, but not always in an ordered fashion.

Macbook can't connect to wireless internet

I have had this strange issue with campus wireless access several times that my iMac or Macbook Air can't connect to the internet, but a Windows machine or my smartphone would connect just fine. The solution that worked for me was going into the Library folder and deleting the SystemsConfiguration folder.

Steps

1. Go into your hard disk folder, which is usually Macintosh HD.
2. Then in your hard disk, go into the Library folder and then into the Preferences folder.
3. Delete the SystemConfiguration folder in there.
4. Reboot

After rebooting it finally connects to the wireless internet, and the SystemConfiguration folder is also recreated, so you don't need to worry about that.
