iPhone 101: Geocaching with an iPhone 3G - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) - 0 views

  •  
    Geocaching is a sport/hobby in which you wander about with a GPS and try to find caches, small hidden containers with swag and a logbook inside. One of the first things I looked for in the App Store was a geocaching application that would let me a) look up caches near my present location, b) tell me when I'm getting close, and c) let me log my finds on Geocaching.com

ScreenFlow: Screencast for the Mac with style - Download Squad - 0 views

  •  
    ScreenFlow from Vara Software is, quite frankly, the best screencasting application for the Mac that we have seen to date -- and trust us, we've tried them all. Taking advantage of Core Animation (making this a Leopard only application), Quartz Composer and a custom 64-bit enabled compression system, ScreenFlow can capture DVD playback (see our screencast below for a demo), 3-D game playback and can also simultaneously capture from your screen and your iSight or DV camera -- meaning you can create a screencast that can show you as you speak.

Mac screencast recording choices (Alex Miller) - 0 views

  •  
    I've been mulling over doing a screencast so I made a small survey looking for the best choices for Mac screencast apps. This is not a review since I haven't had time to actually try them all out. But if you're looking for what's available and some links to useful reviews, this is a good starting point. Screenflow and Snapz Pro seem to be excellent choices although I had people recommend iShowU and Zing to me as well. I tried iShowU and wasn't too impressed. I tried Screenflow and thought it was pretty amazing.

Jing Project: Visual conversation starts here. Mac or Windows. - 0 views

  •  
    The concept of Jing is the always-ready program that instantly captures and shares images and video…from your computer to anywhere. It's something we want to give you, along with some online media hosting, to see how you use it. The project will eventually turn into something else. Tell us what you think so we can figure out what that is. Try it, you'll like it. Find out more in the FAQ, or on the weblog .

Berio Screen Movies - 0 views

  •  
    The advent of Mac OS X Leopard introduced a lot of cool new stuff, including Podcast Producer: a self-contained, automated way to create podcasts of presentations, etc. However, Podcast Producer's screen recording feature is only unleashed when your Leopard is able to authenticated to a Leopard server; hence Berio. Free, unsupported screen recording goodness that's great for creating tutorial movies, demonstration content and illustrative animations.
