The L5 Remote
Speaking of cool remote controls – the L5 Remote is a combination iPhone/iPod touch application + accessory to turn said iPhone or iPod touch into a remote control for your television, DVR, Blu-ray player, and just about anything else accepting IR input.
Yes, please. But I’ll need a discount on two (one for my iPhone and [...]

Open a file from Terminal with Coda
If you’re like me, you love Coda. Well, you may find the need to open a file, or set of files, from Terminal in Coda. Gregory Tomlinson has created a bash script to let you do just that.
Side note: I’m hoping to one day find the time to update this script to allow me to [...]

Why I bought Tweetie 2 for iPhone
I don’t buy a lot of iPhone applications. My reasons are that I don’t have a lot of extra money for such things and that many times I end up getting rid of an application a few weeks after installing it.
In other words; why buy applications that I will not end up using long term?
However, [...]
Why Google Chrome for Mac is important to get right
I’ve been playing with recent developer preview releases of Google Chrome for Mac and I got to thinking about how important it is for Google to get the Mac version of Chrome right. Not for Google, really. For us, the users.
As it stands Safari is far and away the best browser available on the Macintosh. [...]

Facebook for iPhone 3.0 coming soon
When the Web-based version of the Facebook iPhone application shipped it was great. When the first version of the native Facebook iPhone application shipped it was great. Even though I think it is a bit overdue, when the next version of the Facebook iPhone application ships, it will more than likely be great too.
Safari 4’s Full-page Zoom is impressive
After reading this review by Pierre Igot I gave Safari 4’s full-page zoom feature a spin. It is incredibly impressive. I wish the browser wars were not such a tight race right now so that choosing a browser wouldn’t be such a hard decision. (via John Gruber)
What you get and don’t get with the iPhone OS 3.0 update if you have an original iPhone
Eliza and I have original iPhones. Day one iPhones. They are just shy of 2 years old. They’re still gorgeous, still work well, and we couldn’t be happier with them.
Today Apple released the third version of their iPhone OS aptly named iPhone OS 3.0. This release boasts several improvements and new features – however, not [...]

Chrome for Mac developer preview and extensions
Ever since Google release Chrome, their browser, I’ve been waiting with bated breath for Chrome for Mac. Thanks to my friend Jake Dahn I got a copy of the developer preview. Its really fast. Faster than Safari on the Mac. I’m excited for a more stable and complete beta at which point I plan to [...]
Beak, a fantastic Twitter client from Mike Rundle
John Gruber made an excellent point in his piece called “Twitter clients are a UI design playground“. The excellent point I’m talking about is made apparent within the very title of the piece. That Twitter (I’m @cdevroe, btw) is an excellent playground for designing UIs for third party clients.
Mike Rundle, whom I had the extreme [...]
Justin Blanton reviews Tweetie
He really turns the app on its back and gives it a thorough look. He managed to find a few gems, in the first version of the application, that I never even new were there.
Reading his review, albeit late and after an update has already been released for it, has inspired me to dive [...]

Tweetie for Mac – a new Twitter client
Yes, another Twitter client (I’m cdevroe by the way). However, this one comes from atebits – the company that brought us the highest ranked Twitter client for the iPhone, also named Tweetie.
Tweetie for Mac, which I’ve been using all morning, allows for multiple accounts, posting from the browser, auto URL shortening, and much more. Although [...]

MarsEdit 2.3 is out and supports Tumblr
You may have seen me quip about MarsEdit the other day on Twitter. Really, though, it is an excellent piece of software that should be given a go by anyone that writes a lot.
I’m spoiled by a rich-editor in Wordpress, that saves drafts automatically and even has multiple revisions, and so I’m sticking with Wordpress [...]
Glims for Safari
Glims for Safari is a input-manager hack (I think) that enables a few ‘nice to have’ features. First, it adds favicons to tabs. I am not sure about you, but the new tabs (when you have a lot of them) are really hard to tell one from another. This helps. It also does things like [...]

Tags, the way Apple should have done it
Tags is a UI for adding tags to Spotlight on Mac OS X. I think Apple should have made it this way from the beginning.
