Alan Saracevic posting at SFGate.com:

Avadis “Avie” Tevanian, Apple Computer’s Chief Technology Officer, is leaving the firm to “pursue other interests,” the company confirmed Monday.

Actually, his title was “chief software technology officer”, and from everything I’ve heard, he hasn’t really been much involved with Apple’s software since he took that position almost three years ago. Still, without question, Tevanian has been hugely influential in the development and design of Mac OS X.

Chax 1.4 ★

Update to Kent Sutherland’s donationware input manager hack for iChat. Chax adds a bunch of nice features to iChat, but the new one that caught my attention and got me to actually try it is tabbed chats. I’ve been running the 1.4 betas for a couple of days without problems. While the tabbed chats implementation clearly feels like the hack that it is, it works well enough and doesn’t seem to cause any problems.
