TUAW Faceoff: Low-cost vector design apps

by Robert Palmer (May 13th, 2008)

While I'm not a hard-core professional illustrator or cartoonist, I do use vector design tools almost every day. Designing logos, playing with type, and creating quick layouts are things every vector design tool should do well. Adobe Illustrator CS3, of course, is the 800-pound gorilla in this ...

Leopard's iChat Theater could change the way we do... well, everything

by David Chartier (Apr 30th, 2007)

It's things like the iChat Theater page at Apple's Developer site that make me just fine with the delay of Mac OS X Leopard.
