Apple plant mit dem Tablet angeblich digitale Distribution von Printmedien

Apple plant mit dem Tablet angeblich digitale Distribution von Printmedien: "Mit dem Kindle startete Amazon vor mehr als einem Jahr den Versuch, normalerweise auf Papier gedruckte Inhalte in digitaler Form an den Benutzer zu bringen. Von Anfang an zeigte sich Steve Jobs skeptisch und räumte dem Konzept wenig Chancen ein. Glaubt man aktuellen Gerüchten, so will Apple mit dem immer wieder zitierten Tablet aber ebenfalls in den Markt der Print-Inhalte einsteigen.

Growl 1.2 - Notification system for OS X apps. (Free)

Growl 1.2 - Notification system for OS X apps. (Free): "

Growl 1.2
Growl is a notification system that allows any application to send it a notification, and then it displays it. You can (for example) be notified that you have new email, or that a download completed, etc.


Support for Applescript, Perl, Python, TCL, Cocoa, Carbon, Ruby and more being added.


WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.2:
Everything

  • Requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later

  • Much behind-the-scenes modernization, especially in our Xcode projects

  • Installer packages are now Leopard-only flat packages

  • Updated copyright years ([2d6a42405815], [d5c59f2bfcc3])



Growl



GrowlMail


  • Now 64-bit clean

  • Compatible with Snow Leopard (through 10.6.1)

  • Added an uninstaller, based off the one for Growl ([6e6d39bbec43])

  • Changed how the Installer package installs to your Home folder, because the proper way is broken in current versions of Installer ([6328e4c4dd23]; Installer bug filed as #7215243

  • Simplified how we add GrowlMail's preference pane to Mail's Preferences window ([6b117acf2fe9])



GrowlSafari


  • Completely rewritten; it's an application now, using mach_inject

  • Now 64-bit clean

  • Works on both Leopard and Snow Leopard

  • Now works with the WebKit nightly-build launcher ([24c2a3482ec3], [fc7016ea4fc2])



Growl.framework


  • Now 64-bit clean

  • The Carbon-based API is now deprecated; please switch to the Cocoa-based API

  • Should be GC-compatible now; please report any leaks

  • Now uses an open-document Apple Event, not Launch Services, to register the application with Growl, so that the user does not get yanked out of your application ([1df5769e87e1], [58720a0d2d1f], [0f739ceca8b4])

  • Fixed a crash when a delegate had not yet been set ([7560cff1ec16])

  • Fixed leaks of the prefpane bundle ([7560cff1ec16])

  • Removed a redundant method declaration from the Cocoa GAB header ([83d7e0469e8a])



GrowlTunes


  • Runs in 64-bit when possible

  • No longer re-notifies every few seconds when you're listening to a Live365 stream ([5f22e70ed081])



HardwareGrowler



Uninstaller


  • Should no longer ask where GrowlHelperApp and GrowlMenu are if they aren't installed ([e4b6562e6d73])

  • Now a Universal Binary, so it works even if you don't have Rosetta installed ([bed9dc7f9bd5])

  • Added a success message ([4dbf452eb86f])

Apple steht angeblich hinter Intels optischer Schnittstelle "Light Peak"

Apple steht angeblich hinter Intels optischer Schnittstelle "Light Peak": "In den letzten Tagen gab es einige Neuerungen von Intel zu bestaunen; kein Wunder, veranstaltete der Chipgigant doch das 'Intel Developer Forum'. Unter anderem präsentiert wurde die neue optische Schnittstelle 'Light Peak', mit der Übertragungsraten von bis zu 10 GBit/s ermöglicht werden sollen. Doch nicht nur das Konzept an sich ist interessant, auch die Abläufe 'hinter den Kulissen' können fast als kleine Sensation bezeichnet werden.

MenuMeters 1.4b3

MenuMeters is a set of CPU, memory, disk, and network monitoring tools for Mac OS X. Although there are numerous other programs which do the same thing, none had quite the feature set I was looking for. Most were windows that sat in a corner or on the desktop, which are inevitably obscured by document windows on a PowerBook's small screen. Those monitors which used the menubar mostly used the NSStatusItem API, which has the annoying tendency to totally reorder my menubar on every login.


The MenuMeters monitors are true SystemUIServer plugins (also known as Menu Extras). This means they can be reordered using command-drag and remember their positions in the menubar across logins and restarts.

Cavendish Screensaver 1.3 - Visualizes gravitational forces shaping our universe. (Free)

Cavendish Screensaver 1.3 - Visualizes gravitational forces shaping our universe. (Free): "

Cavendish Screensaver 1.3
Cavendish's screensaver module beautifully visualizes the gravitational forces shaping our universe, accurately predicting and drawing the paths of celestial bodies as their masses attract each other. The screensaver generates a 3D universe with randomly distributed bodies and then uses OpenGL to display the evolution of the system due to gravity. Solar systems with multiple stable planetary orbits often form, as do unstable ones with many gravity slingshots, binary stars, and other interesting features. Regardless of the result, Cavendish is guaranteed to produce a compelling and accurate visualization.

The screensaver is fully customizable, with support for user modification of nineteen different parameters varying from the number of bodies to be simulated all the way to a switch for drawing velocity and acceleration vectors. Furthermore, the screensaver supports loading and saving of different configuration files to allow favorite systems to be reused.

This is the screensaver module for the full-featured gravitational dynamics visualization tool, Cavendish.

When you want to view the Flash, just click on it!

The advantages of ClickToFlash are numerous. Since Flash isn't loaded until you specifically ask for it, your CPU usage will stay at normal levels when browsing the web.

In fact, we guarantee* that ClickToFlash will quintuple your battery life and that it will protect those precious parts of your body on which you rest your laptop! (*note: not actually guaranteed)

Best of all, ClickToFlash even supports viewing all those ADORABLE meowing cat videos, annoying dog videos, and hilarious rickrolls from YouTube without using Flash at all! That's because YouTube also offers H.264 videos, which are used when viewing YouTube on the iPhone. With ClickToFlash, you get access to those same, higher quality videos.

Come join us! The web is so much better without Flash.

Split&Concat 3.0 - Splits large files for upload. (Free)

Split&Concat 3.0 - Splits large files for upload. (Free): "

Split&Concat 3.0
Split&Concat... In Internet newsgroups large files often are split into smaller parts since messages can not be of more than a certain size to be able to post them in newsgroups.


For that reason you can find often binary files that are split in parts like filename.mp3.001, filename.mp3.002, filename.mp3.003 etcetera. It is possible to put these parts together using commands in the Terminal yet not everybody is handy with that.

That is why I decided to create a small utility with the OS X interface that makes it easy for people to split large files to be uploaded, or to put together split files downloaded from the Internet.

Of course, you can also use this program to split or recombine files that are too large e.g. to be put on one CD.


WHAT'S NEW
Version 3.0:

  • Code rewritten for Mac OS 10.6 'Snow Leopard' (and 10.5).
  • Program no longer compatible with 10.4 or earlier due to compiler limitations.
  • Several bug fixes, e.g. 'Cannot convert '' to integer' error is fixed.
  • On Snow Leopard in 64 bit mode the program will benefit from the 64 bit 'split' and 'cat' system commands.
  • Older registration keys will expire with this version.

REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

MenuMeters 1.4 an Snow Leopard angepasst

MenuMeters 1.4 an Snow Leopard angepasst: "Es gibt zahlreiche hilfreiche kleine Erweiterungen, deren Nützlichkeit man erst dann wirklich zu schätzen weiß, wenn sie nicht mehr funktionieren. Seit Jahren setzen viele Anwender das kleine Tool MenuMeters ein. Wer mit einem Blick erkennen möchte, ob ein Programm gerade 'hängt' oder ob der Mac noch arbeitet, kann sich die CPU-Auslastung in der Menüleiste anzeigen lassen.

(Via MacTechNews.de :: News.)

MenuMeters 1.4b1 - CPU, memory, disk, and network monitoring tools. (Free)

MenuMeters 1.4b1 - CPU, memory, disk, and network monitoring tools. (Free): "

MenuMeters 1.4b1

MenuMeters is a set of CPU, memory, disk, and network monitoring tools for Mac OS X. Although there are numerous other programs which do the same thing, none had quite the feature set I was looking for. Most were windows that sat in a corner or on the desktop, which are inevitably obscured by document windows on a PowerBook's small screen. Those monitors which used the menubar mostly used the NSStatusItem API, which has the annoying tendency to totally reorder my menubar on every login.


The MenuMeters monitors are true SystemUIServer plugins (also known as Menu Extras). This means they can be reordered using command-drag and remember their positions in the menubar across logins and restarts.


MenuMeters is open source freeware released under the GNU General Public License version 2.


WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.4b1 (public beta):

  • [FEATURE] Snow Leopard compatible Universal Binary (ppc, i386, x86_64).

  • [FEATURE] Includes MenuCracker 2.x for Snow Leopard and for better long-term compatibility with other menubar add-ons.

  • [FEATURE] Hide more inactive statistics on inactive network interfaces.

  • [FEATURE] Simplified Intel CPU naming ('Intel' not 80486).

  • [FEATURE] Support for IPv6 addresses in the network menu, based on patches from Smith Kennedy.

  • [CHANGE] Major code cleanup, fixing a number of obscure bugs and probably introducing some more.

  • [CHANGE] Changes to various menubar displays and text for readability and general cleanup. Removed various tweaky options (like disabling antialiasing) that haven't been relevant since very early OS X and aren't worth the maintenance cost.

  • [CHANGE] Remove CPU menu option for 'nice' color, hasn't worked since Apple API changed.

  • [CHANGE] Removed CPU menu thermal register statistic, hasn't worked since G3.

  • [CHANGE] Reordered memory pie chart to place wired at the start of the graph.

  • [BUG] Fixed NSNumberFormatter overflow for memory statistics.

  • [BUG] Fix preference reset when opening preference pane on Leopard and later.

  • [BUG] Fix support for the PowerMate regardless of driver version.

  • [BUG] Fix Connect and Disconnect commands for VPN and other complex interfaces controlled by the PPP subsystem.

  • [BUG] Show disk space for mounted NTFS volumes.

  • [BUG] Fix slow disk unmount/eject on Tiger.

  • [BUG] CPU percent user/system split display includes nice'd process. This matches current implementations of 'top'.

  • [LOCALE] Simplified Chinese localization, thanks to Tintin.
