Shiira 1.0 

Open source Web Kit-based browser; version 1.0 is now for Mac OS X 10.4 or later. I’m currently giving this a shot as my main browser.

Michael Tsai on BBEdit Disk Browsers 

Good tips for using BBEdit as the center of your multi-file workflow.

Automator World 

Promising new web site dedicated to Automator, by Steve Weintraub.

NetNewsWire 2.0b45 

Another great app introducing Automator support.

Macworld Tiger Coverage 

Macworld has just published over a dozen articles on Tiger, including “Field Notes” regarding installation, the BSD layer, Dashboard, Automator, Spotlight, and more.

Siracusa’s Mac OS X 10.4 Magnum Opus 

The Tiger release parties can officially start: John Siracusa’s review of Mac OS X 10.4 is up at Ars Technica. I was lucky enough to help proof-read a draft last week, and it’s just as good as his previous reviews: well written, keenly observed, technically dense, and a lot of fun.

At over 40,000 words, it’s more like a short book than a long article. And people say I write long articles? Required reading for any serious Mac user.

Audio Hijack Pro 2.5 

Tiger compatibility, AM/FM radio tuner support, podcasting features, and most intriguingly, “full AppleScriptability”.

BBEdit 8.2 

Free update with extensive support for Automator — pretty much all the transformations in BBEdit’s Text menu are available as Automator actions.

PreFab UI Browser 1.4 

PreFab UI Browser is an essential tool for anyone who wants to write GUI Scripting AppleScripts. (PreFab has also released version 1.1 of UI Actions.)

Pogue Reviews Tiger 

David Pogue’s Tiger review for The New York Times. Partly in the form of a poem.
