As the observant of you may have noticed, my posting schedule has gone tits-up once again this week. Sorry about that; I mostly blame Pub Standards coupled with a rather ridiculous amount of work (we launched 4 sites this week at work! 4!).

Disappointment – the backlash to the experiment begins already. Moral of the story: you can’t please everyone. Also, worth remembering that it’s not about not being able to trust bloggers, it’s about not being able to trust anybody – even the copy I got had the track points shifted.

Best Adobe CS3 Icons – much nicer then the still inexplicably bad official icons.

Apple vs. music labels – I’m not entirely sure why labels are supposed to want more subscription services, considering the current complete failure of the WMA based ones, and the bad state eMusic is in at the moment.

MacBook Hacking Contest Won – interesting, but don’t forget that this is not a flaw in the OS, but simply one in Safari.

OmniFocus screenshot and feature overview – colour me distinctly unimpressed by this initial screenshot; I hope the final release is a bit more then just a hack-job of OmniOutliner like it currently appears.

Panic: Ten Years (And Counting) – Panic are quite probably my favorite mac developer.

It is by a more or less random coincidence that on the day after our company’s tenth birthday, we will be conducting by far our biggest, most ambitious new software launch of all time. I hope you’ll come by to check it out, especially if you make web sites.

This is not hyperbole.

andyrutledge.com – such a beautiful site design, and great content to boot.

Moo Notecards are go! – Moo really are a great company, making great products.

I’d rather be Microsoft than Yahoo – I agree; the only good things about Yahoo are its acquisitions, and the very clever people employed there.
