Stop "delete file immediately" in Trash

How to stop showing "delete file immediately" when you drag your files in the Trash??

It is related to permission problem. You can try the following.

1.GO to Application -> Utilities, run (click) "Disk Utility" and run the "Repair Disk Permissions". Waiting for the process complete, you can restart your Mac and it should be fine.

If the above hints does not work fine, try the following.
Go to Application -> Utilities, run Terminal
type the following if you are administrator

rm -rf ~/.Trash
mkdir ~/.Trash

it will remove your existing Trash and recreate a new one which will fix the permission issue.

iPad with IOS 4.2 ..... Rotation Lock Button!

Recently, I have upgrade my mobile devices -- iPhone & iPad to IOS 4.2. My iPad was IOS 3.x and I loved it very very much.
Although I can't input Traditional Chinese by handwriting, it did affect me very much.

To be honest, I don't really like the multi-tasking in IOS4. It is very annoying to me that every time I need to "kill" the Apps which is running in background.

Now, I found another bad point in IOS 4 in iPad too.

It changed the rotation lock button to mute button !!!! WTF !!!!!

You know how inconvenient to enable or disable rotation lock !

WTF !!!!

If you find a way to change it back, please let me know.
