Tapbots: Don’t Panic
Paul Haddad explains what Twitter's new guidelines (which I discussed a bit in my last post) mean for the future of Tweetbot. If the title wasn't enough indication, while Haddad doesn't sound thrilled, in short they're not worried about it.

What Twitter’s API Announcement Could Have Said
Anil Dash polishes Michael Sippey's pre-announcement of Twitter's new API v1.1, which has the entire internet throwing a tremendous (if possibly justifiable) hissy fit: We have awesome news for Twitter developers: Today we're announcing the upcoming release of the biggest new set of features and changes to the Twitter API…

TextMate is now open-source
OMFG. This isn't just an interesting move, it was probably the only way the TextMate 2 story could end, apart from the whole project—and TextMate's six-year legacy as the first great OS X-native editor—being abandoned and dying out. Though, as Marco Arment points out, this is more or less the…

iPhoto & Aperture Now Use The Same Data Format
Sure sure, yesterday's Apple announcements — iOS 6, Mountain Lion, the new MacBook Pro with Retina display — were really cool and amazing and all that. But what really made me jump out of my chair with excitement was the news that Aperture 3.3 and iPhoto 9.3 now totally use…

Coda 2 & Diet Coda
Hell yes. I've been beta testing Coda 2 for a few weeks — it's a fantastic update, still very much the same Coda I've enjoyed using for years, but totally cleaned up and refreshed. It's still the best way to edit static/PHP web sites on the Mac. Which does mean,…

Regarding ‘The Talk Show’
Dan Benjamin responds to his pal John Gruber's decision to move The Talk Show to Mule Radio Syndicate, away from Dan's 5by5 network (and, obviously, away from Dan). I don't really have a dog in this fight, unlike some other people who seem to be really caught up in drama…
