Apple ups eMac spec, cuts prices. Base model now only £549 By Tony Smith . [The Register]
Would someone tell Apple, that the current exchange-rates are available via the "Calculator" program, part of every OS X installation????

I finally figured out how to check for running applications with AppleScript.
Here is the code:

set theAppName to "Safari"
tell application "Finder"
	set myList to name of every process
	if theAppName is in myList then
		-- actions if the app is running
	else
		-- actions if the app is not running
	end if
end tell

Copy the above code into the Script Editor and put something meaningful into the if-loop.
