[tweetmeme]As the world gets closer with HTML5 video (YouTube and Vimeo recently began beta testing their HTML5 implementation), here’s SublimeVideo by Jilion, that’s sleek, functional, and gives you a glipse of what the future in web video will be like. It’s still in beta right now, but the final release will be free for non-commercial use. You can watch the beautiful video on webkit based browsers—Safari and Chrome (even on the iPhone). While you’re there, you’ll notice the top notch design of the website, right from the colours, typography (museo!), icons, and fancy javascript. Even if HTML5 doesn’t mean pants…

[tweetmeme]When I saw the Flickit Pro screenshots in Brandon’s review for SA, I thought it’d be wise to check it out for BP as well. Installed the app, and 0.96 seconds after tapping the app’s icon I knew it was in for a pixel treat. Flickit Pro, designed and developed by Mike Bernardo at Green Volcano Software, is a complete flickr client in a beautiful package. Let’s explore. Flickit Pro comes with a dark look, thus making any pictures really pop out of the screen. Moreover, Bernardo doesn’t just use a simple gradient for the background, instead it sports a…
For all those Transmission users out there (downloading legal torrents of course), here’s a beautiful dashboard widget to keep you company. Designed by Roberto Urso, previously known to do OS X UI mods, has created a dark minimal widget to keep an eye on torrent downloads. Installation requires the enabling of web access, but since it’s a local connection there’s no need to configure proxies and such. Go download.
[tweetmeme]While we’re on the topic of customisation, how about you get rid of those blue pill scrollbars, thereby annihilating the major portion of Aqua on your Mac. You don’t have to do any crazy hacks, your Finder doesn’t crash, and you can always go back to using your previous files. For starters, the iTunes like flat grey scrollbars work well on a leopard desktop without having any adverse effects on your workflow. It’s familiar, feels native to almost all windows, and you won’t miss aqua that’s for sure. Download the resource files [Originally from here]. Then navigate to Mac HD…
[tweetmeme]While desktop and even iPhone apps are built with immense functionality, the web shows that you don’t really need to make something powerful for it to be great. Ketchup is a beautiful, simple, and efficient little web app that “makes it stupid simple to keep your notes from meetings, events and presentations organised”. Sign in, add a meeting, quickly add its agenda, and then add notes for each item in the agenda. That’s all it does. It doesn’t interface with your webcam, it doesn’t have dynamic 3D displays, nor does it create bar graphs on the fly. And that’s okay.…
[tweetmeme] I was staring blank at the compose window, wondering how best to write this article. I’m just afraid I might fail this app. Currencies by Edovia is a straightforward currency converter for the iPhone with auto-refreshing currency rates. Yes, like so many other currency converters on the App Store. Who needs a single purpose app when you’re content with your current setup involving something from Tapbots or Tap Tap Tap (or both). Let me tell you beforehand, you’re about to make another purchase. I had seen this app before, and while the screenshot sure looks good, I didn’t give…
