The reality of software patents, from a pseudonymous employee in Microsoft's future planning think-tank:

Right now anything you make violates someone's software patent. Nothing you do will not violate something someone holds. ... MS has a huge legal team that will do an evaluation before something is released to see what the predicted cost of infringement will be. I've never seen a number that reads 0 from that prediction, even for the smallest of features.

Always nice to see vapour precipitate. I think I'll actually use this.

Improved version of PuTTY.

Nice Win32 front-end for DVDAuthor, amongst others.

No more iTunes, never again!

With cross-origin support and a HttpRequest module for workers (where XmlHttpRequest isn't available).

Time to move wholly to Gmail.

Ahah, Gears does work with Greasemonkey... veerrrry interesting...

cmd.exe by default, but will work with any other shell. Copy and paste that doesn't suck!

Hooray! I can't wait.

Just a wrapper for wget, but good stuff.
