DTV Beta ★

Sort of like podcasting for video (using RSS for “channels”), but with built-in support for BitTorrent to alleviate the hosting/bandwidth cost of delivering video. Free and open source.

Spam, Math, and π ★

Late Night Software Acquires FaceSpan ★

Huge news for AppleScript developers: Mark Alldritt’s Late Night Software has acquired FaceSpan, the AppleScript-based rapid application development tool that has languished in relative obscurity ever since AppleScript-Studio shipped. This is great news. The current version of FaceSpan is sort of like AppleScript-Studio without Xcode — it’s a bit easier because it’s more coherent, but in some ways a bit more limited. At the very least we can expect FaceSpan’s debugging capabilities to improve.
