# Apple Developer Connection - ASCIIMoviePlayerSample - source and command-line app that plays movies as ASCII in a terminal window. Terminal needs to be big enough for size of the movie, one character per pixel. Looks best in "white on black" in the "Color" panel of the "Terminal / Window Settings..." dialog. The image below is from a video of Stevie Wonder's "So What the Fuss?"

# Michael Gorbach - MacFusion is a menubar GUI for MacFuse. It makes it easy to turn an FTP or SSH connection to a remote computer into a regular OS X mounted file volume. The source and binary is available at its Google Code project home. [taoofmac]

The biggest single change I think will be a new gold rush, a klondyke, that grips the West Coast. The IT industry took it on the chin rather badly with the dot-com bubble bursting. They've been in damage control mode for a few years. The Web 2.0 buzz has some up and energized again, and the bravest investors are already returning to the tech space. But wait for the iPhone moment in IT. If Apple drops Computer from its corporate name. And says its future depends not on the Macintosh computers or the succesful iPods, but this latest gadget the iPhone? And suddenly it fulfills all the heartbreaking failed promises of PDAs and palmtop computers of the past. A new computer paradigm. And the ability to generate all new sales, new software, new interfaces.
