Mozilla's Mystery App Coming Soon

Posted 10/19/2009 at 8:22pm | by J Keirn-Swanson

While Apple retains the right to deny apps that they claim duplicate core features (the supposed excuse for the Google Voice blanket rejection), there are any number of apps that do just that. Try searching browsers in the app store for proof.

So with an announcement from Mozilla's CEO John Lilly that the open source giant plans to "release an app to the iPhone App Store in the next few weeks," that he claims will "surprise people," speculation began. Theories centered around two strong contenders.

Chrome for Mac in My Stocking?

If you have a tolerance for a buggy build of a browser that crashes or freezes regularly, you can have Google Chrome on your Mac. If you want a stable, proper release, unfortunately you'll need a PC (or run Parallels, ugh). For everyday users, there's been little Mac love. That's soon to change.

Depending on where you live and work, it can seem like the Internet is everywhere.

But with Verizon’s MiFi in your pocket, you can access the Internet from just about anywhere.

Bare Bones Software BBEdit 9

Posted 09/16/2009 at 3:20pm | by Arvind Srinivasan

If BBEdit is bare bones, then Fat Albert is supermodel skinny. The versatile text editor can do so many things, we think it may contain some sort of alien technology. Bare Bones Software’s latest update, BBEdit 9, may well be the ultimate toolbox for coding on a Mac.

When we say text editor, of course, we are talking about a hugely different category from the word processors that “normal people” use. You won’t find fancy fonts, templates, or glitzy charts; instead, you will find color-coding, line numbers, and pure, unadulterated, text (exciting stuff, right?). Back in the olden days, programmers swore by vi or Emacs, but GUI’d text editors have introduced so much functionality that you wonder sometimes whether you’re writing the code or the app is. BBEdit’s feature set is enormous, and some might call the app the gold standard of text editing.
