MacBreak Weekly 32
The Canary Trap
iTunes 7.1, Hypercard memories, and Steve Jobs, spymaster...
We're all going to Hooters!
iTunes is now 7.1 Full screen album cover viewer. iTunes has cool strings about the AppleTV.
Patterns for PacMan still work on the iPod version.
MacMAME. Defender, StarGate, Battlezone, Tempest, Red Baron. Asteroids. Space Invaders. Bud Tapper!
Lisa.
Mac II FX ran at 40MHz.
NuBus was a really intelligent bus. It lasted through 2 generations of PowerPC based Macs. NeXT also used NuBus.
RunRev makes a Hypercard clone called Revolution. Which isn't all all close to what Hypercard could have been.
Paazizzz buys us bandwidth. Use the TWiT code if you can figure out how to spell it. It helps us out.
Steve has a third job as a spy. Makes up stuff, sends it out, finds the leaks and then they are Steve'd.
AppleLink was a network we all used to use for email, updates, and developer tech documents and support.

Software Picks of the Week
SiteSucker sucks entire web sites! It totally sucks. It really does. Perfectly. No, try it.
Andy paid for Cover Scout. Which sucks artwork for all your MP3 and AAC music.
Instant Shot does screen shots for Scott's Aunt Faye. Not one penny at all. At Zero Alex's it doesn't suck at all.
Merlin uses RCdefault lets him point stuff to other stuff based on File, MIME, UTI.... Based on the web page it's not exactly clear why this will make stuff suck less.
Leo is CSSing his Tumblog so he's playing with complimentary colors (nice shirt, really like the shoes, cool watch dude). It's a Dashboard... (yeah whatyaknow) called ColorJack. I tried it doesn't suck at all.
Andy has a new book about iPods. Everyone needs to try harder.
Get on Leo's Poppr friends list.
