 '11 Food to eat in Penang 

Long file name on desktop - Mac OS X - 2:48 am
Apple , Guides , Mac  -  poster 

Hate how Mac OS Snow Leopard shrinks/hide long file names ? you can overwrite the settings so it doesn't limit to ~15 characters only.

Launch the Terminal and input the following:

[ Hide ]
[ Highlight ] [ Text ]
defaults write com.apple.Finder FXDesktopLayoutGridCharCount -int 255
osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to quit'


You can change the 255 to any other reasonable number, this variable limits how many characters to be shown.
