- MacFixIt Retort on Repair Permissions ★
-
Cites several examples where running Repair Permissions can fix actual problems, but that’s just my point — that it’s a troubleshooting tool, not a maintenance tool.
- Pyro 1.0 Beta ★
-
New web-browser designed specifically and only as a client for 37signals’s Campfire web-based chat service. (Via Jason Fried, not surprisingly.)
- Aperture 1.1: Price Cut and Rebate for 1.0 Owners ★
-
Apple release Aperture 1.1 today, which includes universal binary support and a bunch of improvement. They also cut the price:
In addition, Apple lowered the price of Aperture from $499 to $299. Apple is offering a $200 e-coupon good on the online Apple Store to licensed users of Aperture 1.0. Licensed users of Aperture 1.0 Academic will receive a $100 e-coupon.

- Flashbag ★
-
USB flash drive that expands — as in physically, like a balloon — as it fills up. I’m not quite sure whether this is actually a good idea, but it’s certainly very clever. Concept-only right now, so you can’t buy one. (Via Andy Baio.)
- Gapers Block Redesign ★
-
Wonderful “major tweak” to an already excellent design. (Via Khoi Vinh.)
- Google Calendar ★
-
Scheduled to be in beta for the next four years.
Also, it doesn’t (yet?) support Safari, and informs you of this with a JavaScript alert that reads:
Sorry, Google Calendar does not support your browser yet, so things may break in unexpected ways.
Press OK to see a list of browsers that we support. Or cancel to try to use it anyways.$121 billion market cap and they have someone writing error messages who thinks “anyways” is acceptable English.
- Developers to Mac Users: ‘Just Boot Into Windows’ ★
-
Crazy Apple Rumors Site:
Developers have no reason to develop for the Mac when they can easily tell users to spend several minutes rebooting into a crappier operating system that they hate to use.
