- Changes 1.0 ★
-
Changes, Ian Baird’s sweet new $40 file comparison and folder differencing app, has shipped. Think of it as a pro version of FileMerge. My favorite feature is the optional view that condenses the text to just the lines that have changed along with a few surrounding ones for context. It integrates smoothly with BBEdit and TextWrangler (using menu scripts that override the built-in diff commands) and TextMate (with its own bundle). Ian sent me a discount code for DF readers: enter “DARINGFIREBALL” through March 8 and you’ll save $10.

Jiminy.
- Microsoft’s MSDN ‘Source Fource’ ★
-
“Limited edition developer action figures” promoting Microsoft developer tools. Hard to believe there are people who think Microsoft isn’t totally rad. Perhaps they can battle against the Dell Tech Force.
- iPod Shuffle Price Drops to $49 ★

And a new 2 GB Shuffle for $69.
- Toshiba: HD DVD Officially Dead ★

Toshiba gives up, Blu-ray wins. Nice revenge for Sony, whose Betamax lost the videotape format war in the 1980s.
