Here are a few hopefully useful and informative Mac-related links found both on the MacCast and elsewhere on the series of tubes.
Let’s take a look…
via the MacCast:
-
Scott gives us his thoughts on Digital Convergence.
-
Andrew tries out a new CD/DVD burning Mac app called Disco.
-
Cynthia lets us know about an update to AppZapper, ver. 1.8.
-
Charles says MacHeist is promoting Independent Mac Developers.
via the Interweb:
-
Yet Another Birthday Importer (YABI): a beta tool that gives Mac users more flexibility with sending important Address Book dates (like birthdays and anniversaries) to iCal. It has a simple user interface, creates read-write calendars (unlike the built in iCal features), and makes the exporting very easy.

notMac Challenge: If you’re like me, you’ve become weary of paying $99 a
monthyear (thanks Jim!) for the Apple neglected dotMac service. So was the person who setup the notMac Challenge, who is asking the developer community to develop a dotMac substitute, and has setup a bounty-pledge system for the like-minded. I think it’s a great idea, but I was a little concerned about accountability. I’ve emailed the creator to try to find out more, and I’ll post more in the comments, but for right now—buyer (or donator) beware. (linked from MacWorld). -
iTunes is in a slump, no it’s not. Darn, just as I was writing a long post on how Podcasts have replaced iTunes music purchases—I know they have for me!

Gizmodo: iPhone this Monday, Dec. 18, Brian Lam says, “I guarantee it.” Note: he doesn’t say that “the iPhone” or that it’s from Apple, or if it’s a phone. And doesn’t Apple tend to release products on Tuesdays?
“Here are a few hopefully useful and informative Mac-related links found this, both on the MacCast and elsewhere on the series of tubes.”
I have no idea what this means.

“If you’re like me, you’ve become weary of paying $99 a month for the Apple neglected dotMac service.”
Wow, you’re paying $99 a month, that sucks! :)
Sorry for the errors in the original post. Thanks to both Ken and Jim, I’ve made corrections. Hopefully it makes a little more sense, now.
You’re right Jim, at $99 a month, dotMac would feel like even more of a rip-off!
Alex,
Thanks for the corrections. I read many web pages daily and when I have to stop and try to figure out what the writer meant to say it slows down the process. Not a big deal, but thanks for responding.
