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.

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

ClickToFlash 1.5 - Hides Flash assets on Web pages until you click on them.: "
Ever wanted to get rid of the scourge of the web that is Adobe Flash, but still retain the ability to view Flash whenever you want? With ClickToFlash, you can! Using ClickToFlash, all of those icky Flash bits that have infected most webpages on the internets are replaced with a nice, smooth gradient and the word 'Flash' set in a nice, pleasing font. 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. This has tons of benefits: web browsing stays speedy, your Mac laptop won't get as hot, and your Mac's fan won't come on as often. 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): "
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.
