Digging through the archives we came upon the lost tape of WWDC: an interview with Daniel Jalkut of Red Sweater Software. Red Sweater sells MarsEdit and Black Ink, among other apps. Daniel was kind enough to talk WWDC, iPhone and show us around Black Ink, a very nice crossword app.

NOTE: Sorry about the interlacing issues!

TUAW at WWDC 2007: Interview with Wolf Rentzsch

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Jun 22nd, 2007


Wolf Rentzsch is another Mac developer so devoted to his craft that he comes to WWDC just for the fun of it. Wolf loves code so much, in fact, that he started C4, an "indie conference for indie developers." Scott sat down with Wolf to talk about Mac dev work, his own work, iPhone and C4.

NOTE: This should be the last of the "Perpendicular Subject" series, we hope you've enjoyed the side views!

WWDC Video: TUAW interview with Brent Simmons

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Jun 21st, 2007


Brent Simmons has earned a spot in our docks for years now with NetNewsWire, perhaps the premiere RSS reader on the Mac. But Brent loves developing Mac apps, and he's a big fan of the platform in general. Funny how that works. Mr. Simmons was kind enough to sit and chat with Scott about the WWDC keynote, his competition and some cool new features in NNW3.

Video: Inside Delicious Generation

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Jun 18th, 2007


Here's a distillation of demos seen at Delicious Generation. This time we're trying something a little different and using Viddler, a service that will reportedly allow you to interactively bash the quality of the video as it plays (no need to mention the interlacing, we see it). Oh, you can leave constructive, useful comments inline as well. So if you're a developer and you'd like to explain what we're seeing, that's good, because the mic at the party wasn't really getting audio past the crowd noise.

A bird's-eye view of the Apple Bash in SF

Right now I can hear the band (I'm musically ignorant, so if you know who these kids are, leave it in the comments) playing, so thought I'd share what I can see from the hotel room. Just a taste of what the real attendees are enjoying at 8pm PST...

(sorry about the angles, lighting, sound, production values, set decoration and editing-- this is just for fun!)

Video: Billable, keep track of your hours

Mike Zornek, owner of Clickable Bliss shows us Billable, a handy app for tracking freelance gigs or other hourly projects. Billable will do more than tracking though, so watch the video to see a really neat app from another indie Mac developer.

Video: Monkey Business Labs and Package Tracker 3 sneak peek

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Jun 13th, 2007


Click To Play

Monkey Business Labs, makers of the fine TV Tracker and Package Tracker widgets show us what's new in their bag of widget tricks... Like a sneak peek at Package Tracker 3. If you thought version 2 was cool, stick around for the ending because version 3 will knock your socks off. We like it, can you tell?

Also, by popular demand, we've switched these to the .mov format, but you can visit our Blip.tv channel for a mostly stutter-free .flv version if you like.

UPDATE: Apparently Blip.tv likes to play games! Despite embedding the .mov code, we're still getting the Flash version-- so you can go here for the .mov until Adobe figures out how to optimize Flash for OS X.

TUAW Video: VMware Fusion

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Jun 13th, 2007

Pat Lee was kind enough to join us in TUAW's mobile lab (aka the Marriott) and give us a whirlwind tour of VMware's latest and greatest Fusion offering. While Parallels was first out the door with a virtualization app, VMware has been in the business for a long time, and they've put that expertise to use in developing some very robust, Mac-like features for this latest offering.

TUAW Video: Bently Holding loves Macs

Yesterday we made a trip to 240 Stockton Street, a gorgeous old art deco building overlooking Union Square in San Francisco. A short elevator ride up and we were taken on a quick tour of the Bently Holdings SF office-- an office that runs everything on a Mac. They are really serious about it too (check out the posters). We also got a sneak peek inside one of the most exclusive spas in town: Kamalaspa. Very swank, and in true fanboy form their fish tank is stocked with the fish from Finding Nemo. Take a look at the video for what might be the holy land for you Mac techs out there.

Scott on CNBC now in iTunes

by Michael Rose (RSS feed) on Jun 12th, 2007

In today's world, media cannot be lost but only transformed. In this specific case, TUAW's Scott McNulty's appearance on CNBC is the transformation target; if you had trouble watching the clip of the Face2Face segment in CNBC's Windows Media embed on their page, the video is now available in the iTunes Store as a podcast. Watch Scott try to get a word in edgewise as the chatty traders shout over each other; not to be missed.

Thanks Ricky

Developers not at WWDC unhappy about exclusive beta

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Jun 12th, 2007

After WWDC '06, when Leopard was first introduced, developers were a little annoyed that Apple took around two months to ship out the beta copies they were promised. This time around, Apple seems to have changed their tune: they allowed developers at WWDC to walk away with a beta copy yesterday - but as Steve Jobs mentioned on stage yesterday, only developers who are in attendance at WWDC can get their hands on the hot new beta.

We're hearing from some developers who couldn't make the trek to San Francisco this week that this exclusivity is, understandably, a little upsetting. Besides the cool factor of getting your hands on something as soon as it's released, developers are in the unique position of needing time - in some cases, a lot of time - to get up to speed with all the changes in a new operating system and preparing their applications to run properly on it. With this exclusive beta being released to developers at WWDC now in June, but no release schedule for the rest of qualifying developers who are members of the Apple Developer Connection, some developers are understandably worried and slightly upset that they can't get in on the fun, but more importantly: they also have no idea as to when they'll get to join the party.

Rumor: Free full screen to come to QuickTime Player

by Erica Sadun (RSS feed) on Jun 12th, 2007

QuickTime Player's lack of fullscreen playback (without ponying up the cash for a Pro license, that is) has long been an unnecessary annoyance. Sure, you could always use some sort of AppleScript hack (e.g. osascript -e 'tell application "QuickTime Player" to present front movie scale screen') to get around that, or watch your videos in Front Row for that matter, but there never was a good reason why the free player shouldn't be able to play using the full screen using a normal menu option. Now, according to Victor Agreda Jr, our TUAW man on the spot at WWDC, that limitation will be no more. "The next version of QT," he writes, "doesn't need the Pro version to play fullscreen." And we at TUAW add: it's about time!

iChat screen sharing now a Finder feature

by Michael Rose (RSS feed) on Jun 12th, 2007

Quite a few of you have noticed that the iChat screen-sharing feature introduced at last year's WWDC seems to have gone missing in the refresh of the Leopard feature pages on
Apple's site. This would have been so helpful for the family tech support and whatnot, and probably easy to implement under the Apple Remote Desktop/VNC stack; why would Apple drop it? Turns out it's not dropped so much as relocated. The Finder feature page now indicates that "[by] clicking on a connected Mac, you can see and control that computer (if authorized, of course) as if you were sitting in front of it." Sounds like what iChat loseth, the Finder picketh up and runneth with...eth.

More on rolling back from Safari 3 Beta

by Michael Rose (RSS feed) on Jun 11th, 2007

For a few unfortunate folks (remember, everyone, 'beta' means 'may do you wrong') the Safari 3 Beta installation has gone seriously off the rails. Inability to run the browser, inability to run other Apple apps that depend on WebKit... here there be dragons. If you can't run the bundled uninstaller mentioned earlier, you might take some comfort from this thread at Apple Discussions which indicates that the original WebKit and JavaScript frameworks, along with the Safari 2 app, are stowed away in /Library/Application Support/Apple/.SafariBetaArchive.tar.gz (the leading . means the file won't show up by default in the Finder, but you can get at it from Terminal). Check out the posts for suggestions on how to roll back gracefully.

Thanks Scottie & others who sent this in
