Association of REALbasic Professionals Formed
Austin, TX, May 22, 2008 -- The Association of REALbasic Professionals was
formed at the REAL World developer conference in Austin, TX, in March, 2008.
The Association of REALbasic Professionals, or ARBP, is an independent
organization whose purpose is to unify the profession by providing
continuing professional and educational development and contribute to the
community's well being by acting on behalf of its members.
ARBP began as a discussion on the weblogs of several prominent REALbasic
developers, including Bob Keeney of BKeeney Software and Norman Palardy of
Great White Software. When it became clear that there was momentum behind
the idea, Keeney called for a meeting at the REAL World 2008 developer
conference.
At the meeting, it was determined that ARBP should be formed and its bylaws
adopted. Following nominations for members of the board of directors, those
present elected to the board Keeney, Palardy, Marc Zeedar of REALbasic

SpamSieve has been updated to version 2.7
SpamSieve has been updated to version 2.7.
SpamSieve gives you back your inbox by bringing powerful Bayesian spam
filtering to popular e-mail clients. It learns what your spam looks
like, so it can block nearly all of it. It looks at your address book
and learns what your good messages look like, so it won't confuse them
with spam. Other spam filters get worse over time as spammers adapt to
their rules; SpamSieve actually gets better over time as you train it
with more messages. SpamSieve doesn't delete any messages--it only
marks them in your e-mail client--so you'll never lose any mail.
SpamSieve works with any number of mail accounts, of whatever types
are supported by your e-mail software (e.g. POP, IMAP, Hotmail, AOL).
When using IMAP, SpamSieve on your Mac can even keep the spam off your
iPhone.
This update includes the following enhancements:
* Now requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
* Made a variety of accuracy improvements, focused on dealing
with obfuscations, image...
