“There’s no app for that (anymore)”
“There’s no app for that (anymore)” → Planet VideoLAN: At last, Apple has removed VLC media player from its application store. Thus the incompatibility between the GNU General Public License and the AppStore terms of use is resolved – the hard way. This end should not have come to a surprise to anyone, given the...
Todolicious
Todolicious → Todolicious is a really simple list maker for the Mac. Global shortcut to bring up a giant floating panel to enter your tasks in, global shortcut to bring up the list (all of which looks goody good). No priority settings, no dates, no tags, no organisation (and I say all of this as...

RSS is not dying, it’s being ignored
RSS is not dying, it’s being ignored → “kroc camen” has an interesting take on the whole RSS saga: There appears to be a distinct lack of imagination going on with RSS. RSS does not have to be RSS shaped and look like RSS and do RSS things. He fails to mention however that Safari’s...
Ecoute 2.0 brings a fresh new user interface

Drop PDFs into Notational Velocity
Drop PDFs into Notational Velocity → Notational will automatically parse through the PDF, and create a note for every PDF document. I don’t have a use case for this, but perhaps that’s only because I didn’t know this feature existed. And it’s not just PDFs, but Word documents, HTML documents, and even CSS/JS files. Props...

dPad — Compose advanced blog entries on the iPad
There hasn’t been a usable blogging app for the iPad. Most of them have taken the obvious route, of offering a list of entries, and an editor. But none of them have truly tried to understand the iPad as a platform, its weaknesses when compared with the desktop, and deliver a solution that actually streamlines...
