  • Image editors are the new FTP application

    Image Editors

    For years, FTP applications have been a genre of software that has overrun itself with options. Generally I believe competition to be a good thing but there really just comes a point where another FTP application in the mix really doesn’t help anybody. As of right now I’ve counted over 100 different FTP applications available to the Mac. Seriously…why?

    Today Gruber posted a quick link to a new image editor supposedly making it’s way to the Mac in the coming months. Just yesterday Acorn was announced and just a few weeks ago the highly anticipated Pixelmator was released in to private beta. For the mathematically challenged, that is three new image editors that have come on to the scene in the past month or so and that doesn’t even include all the other image editors that have been around for ages.

    I think what really turns me off about all of this is that all of these image editors do, more or less, the same thing. Sure, they each have a different UI and will each perform tasks a tad different than the other but for the most part they all just edit images.

    Do all of these developers really believe they are bringing something new and beneficial to the table? Or is it simply a case of jumping on the bandwagon?

    Again, like I said, I believe competition and choice are a good thing. But at what point does it actually start hurting the community by flooding the market with sub-par applications?

  • Incase iPhone Protective Cover Replacement

    Incase Protective Cover I bought several cases for my iPhone when I got it (on June 29th) and one of my favorites was the Incase Protective Cover which is like a neoprene glove for my iPhone.

    Unfortunately, soon after getting the case, it started stretching and now my iPhone will barely fit inside. I called up Incase and it turns out they had a bad batch of rubber.

    If you have a back protective cover that’s stretched too much to carry your iPhone snugly, fill out a warranty form and they’ll send you a new one.

    P.S. In the meantime I’ve been using a Gelz Case I picked up from RadTech. It’s a fraction of the price and I like the design. Unlike the Incase (which is thick), the Gelz is very soft, thin neoprene. I just have the case to prevent scratches and normal wear, so it works great for me.
