WorkOS launches auth.md — an open protocol for agent registration.
Shorpy.com is a photo blog about what life a hundred years ago was like: How people looked and what they did for a living, back when not having a job usually meant not eating.
Just terrific.
Joe Clark:
There is precious little in the way of written documentation about the following, but iTunes 7.1 is now reasonably accessible under VoiceOver on Mac. (There are a couple of sources, but very little in the way of actual user testimonial on the MacVisionaries list [example].)
MacNN, quoting “analyst” Shaw Wu of American Technology Research:
“Our sources indicate that Apple’s latest beta build has made noticeable improvements in stability and functionality from previous builds and that Apple is likely one or two upcoming builds away from reaching ‘final candidate’ stage to be released for manufacturing.”
Either Shaw Wu has some bad sources, or he just made this up. Leopard is clearly more than “one or two upcoming builds” away from GM status.
David Watanabe:
I am very pleased to announce today that two of my projects, both having been through long beta phases, are together emerging as full-fledged products.
As expected, the Apple TV is more or less a stripped-down Mac Mini running a version of Mac OS X, so the hacks are coming fast and furious.
Is it just me or do the six different “editions” of Adobe’s Creative Suite 3 remind you of the Windows Vista product matrix? And isn’t it weird that none of them — including the Master Collection that’s apparently going to retail for about $2,500 — includes Lightroom?
