Songbird is an open source cross platform music player built on the Mozilla engine. They've got a blog. Still very early, so who knows if this will pan out. But if it does, and it's any good, this is the key piece I need for the second phase of my business plan. Of course so far I am not even up to phase one yet. Still, I'm excited about songbird and will be watching closely.
Dave Hyatt (one of the lead Apple Safari guys) has an interesting blog about how they are thinking ahead to how the web will handle future high DPI screen resolutions. This is something people who make websites - and especially websites where graphic elements are important - should also be starting to think about. Those 500 pixel wide images look fine on < 100 DPI displays, but are going to be way too small on a 600 DPI screen. Ordinary bloggers probably don't have to get worried or anything, but the tool makers need to start planning.
If you are curious to dig in yourself, start with Hyatt's second post which can act as an intro. Then his original, much longer post which outlines how Apple is starting to think about the options. And then Ars Technica's always enlightening John Siracusa steps back and looks at what this issue means on a larger OS wide scale.
