Daring Fireball: Digging Deeper
And so what makes Microsoft’s new “I’m a PC” commercials so jaw-droppingly bad is that they’re not countering Apple’s message, but instead they’re reinforcing it. That the spots themselves jump between dozens of different people who “are” PCs, that the spots make a point of emphasizing that there are a billion Windows-running PCs worldwide, this only emphasizes that “PC” is not a brand name but a generic.

Panic Coda 1.5
26 Aug 08
Panic released version 1.5 of one of my favorite web developement and design tools today, Coda.
Some major changes in this release included:
- It is now possible to do a multi-file find and replace across local files. You can choose to search all open files, all files in a particular folder, or all files in your current Site.
- Coda 1.5 provides built in support (checkout, commit, revert, update, and rollback) for Subversion operations.
- This release includes improved organization of Clips. Clips can also now be imported and exported. Using the new codaclips: URL handler allows you to create a web page link that adds a clip to Coda. Sam Brown has already integrated this feature into Coda Clips
- Users can also create custom reference books in Coda 1.5.

Get Up to 11 Mac Applications for $49.00

How often are you able to find 11 applications for $49.00? Most of the time, you’re not going to. However, the guys over at MacHeist have worked out deals to support indie Mac software developers and give 25% of the sales to charity. Cha-Ching and CSSEdit alone would normally set you back $40.00, but are worth much more!

17 Oct 07
I can’t wait to upgrade to Mac OS X Leopard.
I am most excited about:
- The finder updates including Quick Look
- Stacks
- iCal Updates
- Mail Updates – Maybe I will use it as more than an archiver for Gmail
- Time Machine
For all those Mac users out there, what features are you most excited about and will you upgrade right away or wait for the 10.5.1 updates? I am still undecided.
Check out Apple’s list of the more than 300 new features.
