Removing Ping from iTunes 10.0.1 | Tom Gidden

Remove Ping, and more usefully, reinstate the non-store arrow behaviour (for quickly filtering down to just an album). (I should probably stop using things like this, because they eventually vanish, but that's the sort of person I am.)

TidBITS: Stewing Over Safe Sleep

A good discussion on what Safe Sleep is, why you might not want it, how to disable it, and why Apple should have provided such a method themselves.

kapowaz: British English spelling for Macs

TimeDrawer for Mac

(Looks like a) Japanese application for revision control and managment with a spiffy overlay interface. It says it doesn't need an external drive (like Time Machine, which it's bound to be compared to), so where does it store files? Worth investigating.

Daring Fireball: iPhone Fonts

No Monaco, no Chicago, no Geneva. I suppose I should get used to the idea that the pixel fonts are dead. Gruber's spot on with the Arial / Courier observations.

DVD Spanner

Matt Sergeant's CamelBones app for burning a big folder to a selection of DVDs. Bound to be less painful than doing the same thing with iPhoto (although you don't get to keep the metadata, hm). Bit of a shame about the metal, though.

Jax - real life meets digital life

"Get more out of iTunes, AppleTV and the iPhone" with a plugin that lets you download stuff from YouTube, apparently. Interestingly, like iLike it's able to really customise the iTunes UI. Wonder how they're doing that and if it's supported.

Keyword Manager 1.1 - (TUAW)

MacDevCenter.com -- Replacing AppleScript with Ruby

Good article by Matt Neuberg, noting that OSA is still important but that Ruby's probably a better fit for scripting these days. Make sure you don't throw out the first item of type baby with the first item of water of container bath.

Rixstep: A collection - and explanation - of the OS X defaults in CLIX

I generally dislike Rixstep- they're way too NeXTy and refuse to believe anything good can come of the old Mac, so they probably despise FSRefs too- but this list of defaults might come in handy.

codepoetry - A Call for the Death of the Huge-Ass Application

Given laptop HDs show no sign of breaking 200G any time soon (hell, it's still impossible to buy more than 120G with a Mac laptop) this is a fair rant. Apple should really sort out compression for the web, too (iWeb spits out nearly a meg a page in PNGs).

Max from sbooth.org

"Max is an application for creating high-quality audio files in various formats, from compact discs or files." Will do FLAC -> MP3 conversion, apparently. Including metadata transfer. And it's free. Handy.

Propellerhead Announces Reason 3.0.5 For Intel-Mac

They're not shipping a Universal Binary. Instead there are seperate PPC and Intel codebases (compiled with CW and Xcode respectively, if I'm reading the PR right). Hmmm.

Most interesting for the fact there's an open source framework, rather than the closed source ams, at the heart. Shame it's name-colliding (Motion!?)
