# mbennouf at Brighthand - iPhony 0.2 released - a Palm OS application that looks like an iPhone. Here it is on my filthy Z22: [tuaw]

# Amit Singh at Google Code - macfuse, A FUSE-Compliant File System Implementation Mechanism for Mac OS X, is available for download. FUSE (Filesystem in USErspace) has been used in Linux to implement many file systems. There's a HOWTO for building and installing it. Requires XCode. I haven't done it, but probably will just so I can try sshfs to access this web site in the Finder. [macnn]

How FUSE-compliant is MacFUSE? Well, enough so that many popular FUSE file systems can be easily compiled and work on Mac OS X--often out of the box. Examples of file systems that work have been tested (to varying degrees) include sshfs, ntfs-3g (read/write NTFS), ftpfs (read/write FTP), wdfs (WebDAV), cryptofs, encfs, bindfs, unionfs, beaglefs (yes, including the entire Beagle paraphernalia), and so on.

# Yojimbo 1.4 is available from Bare Bones Software. The release notes say that it adds an "Untagged Items" factory smart collection, is now extensively scriptable, enables creation of web archives in the file system, and fixes a bunch of bugs. Works for me. Update consisted of mounting the .dmg file, quitting my running 1.3 Yojimbo, draging the icon to the Applications shortcut in the .dmg, clicking to authorize replacing the old application bundle with the new.

# Chris Stone at O'Reilly Mac - AirPort Disk: Easy Network Storage - everybody's crowing about the faster, 802.11n, wireless networking in Apple's new AirPort Extreme Base Station, but a much bigger deal, which could make it worth $180 for wireless technology that usually costs only $40, is the AirPort's USB port, which can be used to share printers and hard drives, Apple easy.
