A review of my new 17" MacBook Pro, rumors of lossless quality audio on the iTMS, reports of Apple's negotiations with movie studios, news from the front lines of the Blu-ray vs. HD DVD format war, and the obscenely expensive DirecTV Titanium package.

iSight Capture

I just finished a very simple little app that automatically takes a picture with an iSight camera (built-in definitely works, external may as well) at user-specified intervals (default is 60 seconds). If you're going to be away from your computer for a couple minutes and want to see what happens around it in your absence, this app should help.

1. Download [I have gotten feedback that the security of the UNIX script dmg file may be suspect, so download at your own risk from the developer's site] and put it in your Applications folder.
2. Download my iSight Capture app and put it anywhere on your computer.
3. Double click the app to run it, it will keep Terminal open while it works.
4. Follow the instructions on the dialogs. It will store the pics it takes in your home folder.
