My friend told me you can do this by first opening up terminal then typing:

defaults write com.apple.dock pinning -string <option>

Here is some good news for those of you who love Apple's products. Apparently the new 4th gen iPod touch has released and is available to purchase. This is really great news to me as i am a owner of the 2nd gen iPod touch and i really love my iPod.



The new iPod touch will feature a built in Mic with rear and front cameras for HD recording and video chat. The retina display featured in the iPhone 4 will also be included in the 4th gen touch. As for the pricing, you can get the 8GB for $229, 32GB for $299, and the 64GB for $399. Personally i think i will get the 32GB whenever i can and i will be sure to do a review or even an unboxing video. Anyway for more information you can always visit Apple's website located here.
