Fetch 5.0 ★: Major update to the venerable FTP client. Now supports SFTP, sports a revamped user interface (including an update to Fetch’s trademark donut-ring progress indicator), and much more. Definitely worth a look.
Paperback ★: House Industries’ brand-new text face family, designed by John Downer. Includes different faces for use at different sizes. Strikes me as very sturdy, but definitely not plain. The ‘r’ and ‘c’ seem quite distinctive.
How to Speed Up Publishing in Movable Type ★: Performance tips from Six Apart.
Podcast Support Coming to iTunes 4.9 ★: At the Wall Street Journal “D” conference, Steve Jobs demoed a beta of iTunes 4.9 with built-in support for subscribing to podcasts.
‘iCon’ Rips Off Deutschman’s ‘The Second Coming of Steve Jobs’ ★: Alan Deutschman reviews Jeffrey S. Young and William L. Simon’s iCon for The San Francisco Chronicle, and shows that much of its reporting is lifted directly from his own book, The Second Coming of Steve Jobs.
