OnMyCommandCM is a UNIX CLI and AppleScript executor. Your command may take a clicked object as a parameter so you may perform an action on file, folder or text. A command can be executed in terminal, silently or with output window. But the best part is that you are building your own command, your own Contextual Menu Item. You type your command once and then it is just a click away!And it's free. Very cool.
The second browser war. Nice article on the near future struggle as the web and the desktop OS collide (combine?) This is like the stuff I used to talk about concerning Mozilla and how it was going to change everything because it is not just a browser, but a cross platform application environment. Mozilla is still an important piece, but the great hope is now WHAT-WG rather than XUL.
I think people have to understand this possibility (that the web will, in some important senses, be the future desktop operating system) to understand the potential of google.
Completely unconfirmed, yet believable, iPod rumor:
AirPod.
Summary: airport wireless add-on for iPod.
Attaches to bottom of iPod via dock connector.
Mates cleanly; appears to make the iPod ~1 inch taller.
Powered via 4G iPod's "enhanced" battery.
Requires 4G iPod; earlier models not supported.
Streams iPod audio via AirTunes to Airport Express.
Capable of streaming at line level or with volume control.
Enables wireless iPod syncing.
Includes "pass through" dock connector on bottom, allowing iPod, with AirPod attached, to operate while docked or with other external dock connector power source. Additional dock connector accessories can therefore be "piggy-backed" onto AirPod.
$99
Mini mini sci-fi story (or story idea) CPU's beyond the edge.

This is not the new G5 iMac that is about to be introduced but I think it is a really nice concept design.
