- NEAT Receipts for Mac shown at Macworld
Filed under: Macworld, Hardware
The personal-organizer scanner space on the Mac has been fairly quiet since the departure of the Visioneer PaperPort from the platform (we miss you, guys!), but one of the leading new vendors is coming over to the Mac -- NEAT Receipts for Mac is here at the show and will be shipping later this year. NR's slim scanner and software bundle lets you scan and organize all your paper receipts on your computer, keeping records for expense/business and tax purposes without the clutter and mess.
The final pricing and availability for NR Mac isn't published yet, but what I heard at the booth is $180/$80 (with the scanner hardware or software only) shipping in Q2; you can use the software in standalone or watched-folder mode with most other Mac-compatible scanners. If you've got an envelope full of paper records that need the scanning treatment, check it out.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Macworld, TUAW Business
From the entire TUAW team here at Macworld (left to right: Chris, me, Mike, Nik, and Victor) a big thank you to all you TUAW readers and fans out there. Covering Macworld wouldn't be half as much fun if no one read/watched what we did.
Just because today is the last day of Macworld Expo, that doesn't mean that today will be the last day of our Macworld coverage. We've got lots more footage 'in the can' that we'll be posting in the coming days.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: iPhone
If you're hungry for more inside information about the iPhone 1.1.3 firmware, be sated: the frameworks documentation for the new version is up and readable over at a familiar site. We were wondering why Erica had rigged for silent running over the past 36 hours, and apparently it's because she's been working at a furious pace to check out the revised frameworks on the iPhone.
You can read the details over at Erica's site now. She declined to say exactly where she got the firmware she's documenting.

Filed under: Macworld, Enterprise
When your corporate IT department says "Sure, we like the Mac, but we can't manage it through Group Policy, so it's inherently evil," you can offer several alternatives: Centrify, ADmit Mac, and Likewise (formerly Centeris) -- all will provide smooth integration of your Macs into AD and give the central command and control guys the feeling of power they crave. We caught up with Steve from Likewise on the show floor and got a quick walkthrough.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Macworld, Software, Cool tools
Sometimes the most interesting ideas are ones that fall out of favor and come back again years later. Witness Tilestack, a technology preview on the floor at Macworld that allows importing and instant web-enabling of vintage HyperCard stacks, as well as advanced interactive web applications with minimal coding. Check out the video and the Tilestack site for more info.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

It takes a pretty strong constitution to exhibit native apps for the iPhone on the Macworld show floor (and probably a fairly hefty bankroll -- booths ain't free), but the Polar Bear Farm guys are up to the challenge. We caught a demo of the Search tool for iPhone, available only for jailbroken phones at the moment but expected to ship for unmodified devices shortly after the SDK becomes public. Check out the video for the details.Continue reading Show floor video: Polar Bear Farm demos iPhone search utility

Filed under: Macworld, Software
A TUAW reader from a company with an Enterprise license from Microsoft wrote in to ask if we had any solid information on when Office for Mac 2008 was being released to licensees. Well, our man on the floor managed to get a comment from a Microsoft rep to the effect that the English, Spanish, and French localizations will be released on February 1, with more languages coming on March 1.
Interestingly, the campus computer folks at my university report the same February 1st date for the universities, but that is apparently for IT deployment on university computers. My campus bookstore is saying that the student and faculty site licensed version will not be available until April. However, I suspect your mileage may vary at other universities.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Internet Tools, Open Source
And the support, especially in the document editor, is good. It uses valid XHTML tags and CSS to create cross-browser compatibility. I think the feature I love the most right now is the full support for rich text pasting (and no font tags). If you're using Firefox, you get page previews, monetary conversions and more when hovering over different bits of information. These seem to be missing on Safari, but that could be on account of an odd setting in my configuration.I'm not ashamed to admit that I love Safari. Unfortunately, not all web developers are hip to it, especially when it comes to Ajax-based web apps. In fact, I'd have trouble naming very many web-based, "WYSIWYG" editors, let alone full collaboration suites, that work well with Safari. That's why I was pleased to hear that the Leopard-loving folks at Zimbra, the open source messaging and collaboration suite, have announced expanded support for Mac users, including Safari compatibility. To the best of my knowledge (and according to their press release), this makes them the first major collaboration suite to support Safari.
In addition to Safari support, Zimbra has also added support for CalDav, allowing iCal 3 to sync and share calendars through its server. And for the mobile set, they've added a mobile HTML client that makes the suite iPhone compatible. With the preexisting Zimbra Connector for iSync, Zimbra users can sync their email, address books and calendars to their iPhone.
You can catch Zimbra at Macworld in booth W-4348. Zimbra is available for free as the ZCS 5.0 Open Source Edition. They also offer a Network Edition with commercial support, educational discounts available. And for the curious, you can demo the suite online at their website.

According to Information Week, sources "with knowledge of IBM's plans" have confirmed that IBM will be releasing a version of its email client, Lotus Notes, for the iPhone (and iPod touch) at the Lotusphere conference next week. Plans for this were announced in October last year after Steve Jobs announced an iPhone SDK coming in February. Notes has been previously available on your Mac, but this release would give iPhone users mobile access to all of the Notes tools, including e-mail, calendars and databases.
Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsThe Notes news, along with IBM's Wednesday announcement that it will be porting its Informix 11 'Cheetah' database server to Leopard, and reports that Symphony (the productivity suite based on the OpenOffice.org project) is headed for OS X give rise to speculation that IBM may be gearing up to take a bite out of Microsoft via some strategic partnering with Apple. And for Apple, support from IBM could lead to gaining ground in the enterprise arena. Would more IBM software on the Mac (and iPhone) cause a stir in the Microsoft-dominated business world? I guess we're about to find out.

Filed under: Macworld, iTS, Video
Now that iTunes rentals have launched, it has become kind of tricky deciphering what movies are available to rent, what movies are available to purchase, and what movies are available and what movies can be rented or purchased.
While Apple promises that more than 1000 movies will be available to rent by the end of February (including over 100 in HD with Dolby 5.1 sound), the current rental total (as of today) is about 375. And although Apple doesn't have a clear "rental" section at this point in time, finding out what films are available to rent is pretty easy. Just do a blank power search for movies and check the box that says, "Search movies that are available for rental." That will then give you a list of 150 titles at a time of all the films available to rent. Click, more results to get the next page of results.

What is trickier, however, is trying to decipher exactly which movies are available for what type of purchase. Looking at the list of available titles, I could not find any clear pattern that explained why certain films are available only to buy or only to rent. I'm sure that this was all decided by the studios, based on their own internal sales trends and valuations. For instance, the majority of the "new releases," that is, the $3.99 rentals, are only available to rent. Meaning you can't buy a download of "The Simpsons Movie" or "300." This makes sense, as I'm sure the studios (Fox and Warner Bros., respectively) would prefer customers buy those films on DVD rather than an iTunes download. This is not universal, however, as some of Disney's new releases, like "Ratatouille" and "Pirates of the Carribean 3" are available for both download and rental. It should be noted these films were available for purchase before Tuesday's announcement.
Speaking of new releases, it is important to keep in mind the caveat that was mentioned during the keynote - right now studios will wait 30 days after a film comes out on DVD before making it available on iTunes rentals.Комментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Macworld, Video, Steve Jobs
Don't have enough time to watch the whole keynote from the other day? Worry not-- our good friends (including Veronica Belmont) at Mahalo Daily have condensed Steve's whole 90 minute presentation (including the musical stylings of Randy Newman) into this quick sixty second breakdown. Thrill to the announcement of Time Capsule! Gasp at the reveal of the MacBook Air! Wonder idly just who Randy is singing to during that song from Toy Story.
I of course read our liveblog as it happened, and was planning to watch the video separately, but after seeing this, I've seen all I have to. Now if only we could make the wait to the next Stevenote (and the reveal of the iPhone SDK?) go as quickly.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

The always-awesome Evan DiBiase has decoded iTunes' "initiateSession" call, which can be found in this online file, encoded with Base-64. In it, he found quite a few interesting calls that support the announcements made by Steve Jobs on Tuesday[1], including references to a relatedItemsShelf for AppleTV, checking in and checking out the rentals, rental recommendations, a "Digital Copy Wizard". Neat stuff. If you want to look for yourself, head on over to an online base64 decoder and make sure to cut the results into pieces around the double-equal signs (==) and omit the names, e.g. for == bag PD94bWwgdmV start the decoding with PD94b...
[1]Just for the sake of recognizing his sheer awesomeness, let me note that he actually called the Apple TV update before Jobs announced it...
