Comment and replies on Connect360:
This app kicks ass! Not only does it allow you to listen to your iTunes library on your Xbox360, but it lets you browse your iPhoto library as well. $20, worth every penny. (I had fears I'd have to get my music library on a windows PC to get it to integrate with the 360 - nope!!)
Oh man, I'd love to use this, but my iTunes music share is on a computer that's one level of indirection away from my Xbox360, so the packets never make it.
It was easier to connect my Xbox 360 to my PowerBook G4 running this program than it was to get the Xbox 360 to see my girlfriend's WinXP laptop. Better than the 'real thing'.
Does anyone know when they are going to be adding Video support?
From what I heard, they're not allowed due to Microsoft stopping all 3rd party apps from developing that functionality.
Version 2.82 supports video but only in WMV format. The xbox may not be able to understand anything else :(
The Spring Dashboard update added H.264 playback support on the 360. :)
This is excellent, easy to use and works.
Great app, but when you tell it to update your iTunes play counts it doesn't wait until after the track is done playing. If you skip 20 tracks in 30 seconds, those 20 tracks get counted as played.
Great app.
v3.36 is out.
already suggested new version.
Comment and replies on Camino:
Best of both worlds... rendering/compatibility as in Firefox.. (almost) as fast as Safari and other Mac 'native' apps
Developers and community (slowly but doing great) porting most useful firefox 'extensions' over. Inquisitor plugin also available.
Beautiful & Fast. The Internet is a whole different place without advertisements flashing at you all the time. I'll never go back to Safari.
Best browser for my money, but there are still some sites that I need to use Safari or Firefox for.
Seems like a good replacement for Safari, but it's still missing RSS capabilities. Until then...
It's a compromise. Overcomes some of the shortcomings of Safari even though it doesn't have its speed or as beautiful rendering. Much more stable and less of a pig than Firefox which is simply horrible on the Mac (I used it for over year and had to give it up due to too many bugs and uncountable/serious memory leaks).
Biggest wishes right now are for pull-down history in the search and the ability to set file downloading to ALWAYS ask where to save the file.
Dislikes: Some of the developers are arrogant and unfriendly.
> Biggest wishes right now are for pull-down history in the search
The problem is that the pull-down menu is already used to select different search engines. Not really sure what a good solution there is.
> the ability to set file downloading to ALWAYS ask where to save the file.
I think that would upset a lot of people. It seems to me that the whole point of the download folder is so that you don't have to specify every time. I suggest control-clicking and choosing "Download Link Target..." as a workaround.
For what it's worth, I always found the developers to be very friendly and open, right up until the day that I became one of them.
I can't see the point of developing this browser.
Camino claims to look and feel like a Mac OS X application should, because it was designed exclusively for Mac OS X
and yet it doesn't support the system dictionary and spell checker. Just about every application on my machine that supports text editing uses the OS X dictionary why not Camino?
If you need a browser that uses the Gecko rendering engine you are better off with Firefox and it's legion of plugins and extensions.
Spellcheck is already on the nightlies, shouldn't be long till it goes into the next release :)
Regarding the comment concerning the pointlessness of the browser:
Camino is faster and saves passwords to the keychain, unlike Firefox. It also doesn't have the 100% cpu click bug that Firefox has. Unlike safari, Camino has 'find as you type' (with camitools). In Safari you have to deal with a popup find screen, and furthermore, the downloads popup doesn't have an auto-close function, so you have to close it manually.
Camino replaces Safari in my day to day browsing, but I still use Firefox on occasion when I need to use the Web Developer's extension, or the Flash Video downloader.
The firefox project came about because of the Camino project. It was because of Camino that Mozilla decided to drop the monolithic browser and go back to having a product that was just a browser. So camino is around because it predates firefox.

Great app that just works!
Itunes music shares on your Xbox360 while on dashboard or while you are playing.
