The new Coda website development app from the well-regarded software publisher Panic gets a rave review from John Gruber at Daring Fireball. Coda is an all-in-one site creation tool, combining a text editor, CSS editor, FTP, terminal and live preview in one app.
Gruber writes:It's about reducing clutter and emphasizing the relationships between the different aspects of web development, making it easier to switch from source code to preview to files. Coda's advantages are most obvious when you consider working with two or three projects at once. In Coda, each site gets its own window, grouping source code, browser previews, terminals, and file listings together.6 The idea is that all your stuff – file listing, source code, browser previews, terminals – for site A is here, all your stuff for site B is there. Coda groups and visually organizes these disparate elements by project, rather than by app.
There's another thorough review here at MacApper.

Apple's ex-CFO has cut a deal with the SEC in Apple's backdated options scandal, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing anonymous sources. Anderson will pay a fine of $150,000 and repay about $3.5 million worth of options. The deal does not include an admission of wrongdoing, the WSJ says. The SEC reportedly intends to pursue civil charges against Nancy Heinen, Apple's ex-general counsel, who will contest the case, according to the WSJ.
The AP reports:
Cris Arguedas, a lawyer for former Apple counsel Nancy Heinen, said Monday that the Securities and Exchange Commission has informed attorneys in the case that it plans to file a lawsuit against Heinen alleging fraud in connection with two options grants. One involved a grant to Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs on Oct. 19, 2001, for 7.5 million shares and another involved a grant made to top executives, including Heinen herself, on Jan. 17, 2001.
"We do expect them to file against our client and we will be defending those charges because they are a misunderstanding of the activities of Apple," Arguedas said.

The San Jose Mercury News is reporting that former Apple General Counsel Nancy Heinen will be the first target of an SEC probe into Apple backdating scandal. The news comes just a day after reports from the same paper claiming CEO Steve Jobs will not be charged.
The gist of the charges? Heinen played a key role in two backdating episodes that shifted options to Jobs:
Heinen's main problems stem from her involvement in a December 2001 grant of 7.5 million stock options to Jobs that were backdated to October through falsified minutes of a board meeting that did not occur.
Lawyers familiar with the grant say the board believed it could use the October date because the stock price was higher than when it first approved the grant to Jobs in August, although lower than in December, when it was finalized after months of negotiations. Heinen advised the board on Jobs' grant, and believed rules governing stock options - which have since changed - allowed the October date.
A securities fraud charge from the SEC would depend on proving Heinen's actions deceived investors because the true cost of the options was hidden by shifting the grant date from Dec. 18, when the stock was $21.01 a share, to Oct. 19, when it stood at $18.30.
Heinen also faces SEC action because of allegations she approved the falsification of documents to backdate Jobs' grant. When the board finalized the Jobs grant shortly before Christmas 2001, board member Arthur Levinson, Genentech's CEO, sent an e-mail saying the deal with Jobs was done and instructed Heinen to document the Oct. 19 date, according to three people familiar with the grant.
Heinen, these sources say, then e-mailed Wendy Howell, an in-house Apple lawyer who ordinarily documented stock options, instructing her to handle the Jobs documents. From there, the accounts of Heinen and Howell differ, according to sources familiar with their versions.
What is not disputed is that Howell wrote phony meeting minutes to show the board approved the Jobs grant on Oct. 19, 2001. Howell maintains she was instructed by her superiors to create the meeting minutes, but Heinen denies knowledge of the false minutes, although she signed them in her role as the board's corporate secretary, according to sources familiar with both accounts. Two people familiar with Heinen's account say she regularly had stacks of minutes to sign, and didn't scrutinize the Howell minutes.
Heinen is an O.G. Jobs crony: prior to serving as Apple's General Counsel, she was General Counsel of NeXT. Heinen resigned from Apple last May, but her fingerprints are still so fresh at Apple that she remains listed on some of the company's corporate bios pages (though her actual bio appears to have been taken down).
The company's woes may not end with Heinen. The Merc also reports that the SEC is considering a case against former Apple CFO Fred Anderson.

Alexander Amosu, a London entrepreneur known as "King of the Ring" for making a bundle on urban ringtones, has introduced a line of gold-plated iPods. The 24 carat iPods cost $600 for a 30-Gbyte version and $800 for the 80-Gbyte model.
According to Amosu's site, the ringtone millionaire is branching into gold- and diamond-encrusted phones and iPods for "the rich, famous and sophisticated."
He wanted to be the first person to have a dedicated website for high end customised mobiles phones with gold, white gold and various colours of diamonds.
His words are "to have an exclusive phone that cost more than anyone else is like having a Bentley rather than Ford, the type of phone you have speaks allot (sic) about your lifestyle and ambition. That's why celebrities, footballers, actors and millionaires get their phone from me"
