Delicious Library

Get your Mac, a webcam, and Delicious Library and rediscover your home library. Just point any FireWire digital video camera, like an Apple iSight®, at the barcode on the back of any book, movie, music, or video game. Delicious Library does the rest. The barcode is scanned and within seconds the item's cover appears on your digital shelves filled with tons of in-depth information downloaded from one of six different web sources from around the world.

Transmit 3

Panic on Wednesday announced the release of Transmit 3, the latest version of the company's File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client for Mac OS X, unveiled at Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco earlier this year. Transmit 3 adds new features, including a column view, tabs for multiple connections, a "sidebar" reminiscent of the Finder, a redesigned Favorites feature, new preview drawer and much more, including full iDisk and WebDAV support that Panic claims is faster than the Finder.

Other major changes in Transmit 3 include dock status, spring-loaded folders and tabs, server-to-server transfers, linked folder navigation and improved synchronization. The software costs US$29.95; users of previous releases can upgrade for $17.95 (if you bought Transmit 2 after January 1, 2005 you can get it for free). A 15-day downloadable demo is available.
