Keyboard launcher app Alfred has been coming along nicely since we last covered it.

The latest release takes it to 0.5 and adds a bunch of good stuff, including a built-in basic calculator, support for Google’s “I’m Feeling Lucky” and Wolfram Alpha, and the ability to change keywords for specific web search commands. So, the default command to search Twitter is “twitter”, but you can now edit that to “ts” if you like.

Also hidden away in the newly enlarged preferences panel is this “Special” item. It says: “Do not press this button”

Got that? Don’t press it.

Just don’t.

Pressing the button is a bad idea. That’s why they tell you not to press it.

Under no circumstances should you download this software and press this button. None whatsoever. Got that?

Good.
