280 Slides - Web Presentations Made With Cocoa!

280 Slides - Create & Share Presentations Online

OK, this has to be the coolest web app I've yet encountered. So desktop-like you forget it's running in your web browser! Part of that must reflect its software foundation, which isn't javascript or flash or Air, or any of the other possible languages for Web 2.0-style apps. No, it's Cocoa--the same language (a derivative of Objective C) and framework Apple uses for its desktop apps!

The framework used is called Cappucino, a fairly new open source project that "makes it easy to build desktop-caliber applications that run in a web browser."

I'm all over this... definitely!

Apple Investor News: Comprehensive New Site Aggregates Apple News, Google-Style

Apple Investor News - Always Updating, Intelligent News Search Now here's a really terrific new resource for Apple enthusiasts: Apple Investor News is much more than the large footprint that appears on its home page, too. Check out the two other "tabs" of news, and you'll discover that the site reels in freshly updated news in just about every category of interest to users of Apple products as well a investors in its stock. The only thing missing (for me) is an RSS feed (or feeds), but I'll be surprised if that isn't in the works.

Pandora:  Social Music Bookmark System Evolving Nicely

Pandora - Find New Music, Listen to Custom Internet Radio Stations I need too spend some time with this baby... it's got a cool interface, and my first few rarities I threw at it did reasonably well. Now I'm listening to something I've never heard before that's pretty close to the sound I was after. "Custom radio station," eh? Not a bad concept. There's a new Cocoa wrapper for Pandora that's also worth checking out... PandoraMan.
