Hikona - automatic batch hi-res PDF creation from Quark
In the past, we've told you about KonaPDF - a way of creating low
resolution PDFs automatically from QuarkXPress via Acrobat Distiller.
Its benefits were twofold:
1) all those Quark Print settings - so easy for a Mac operator to get wrong
or overlook - are set automatically, without user interaction. 2) batch
output: KonaPDF operated on a folder of Quark files, outputting each page
as a PostScript file and placing these in an Acrobat watched folder for
Distiller to convert to PDF straight away.
Now there's Hikona - it does the same, but at high resolution with oversize
pages to accommodate registration marks, crops and trims.
We think Hikona will be of interest to any publishing company that makes
high-resolution, press-ready PDFs from QuarkXPress 6.
All the Quark Print settings - resolution, half-screen, page oversize,
registration marks, offset, bleed, orientation etc are 'hard-wired' into
the code of Hikona itself. The user simply selects a folder of Quark files,
then chooses a...

Third Party Applications on the iPhone
Apple has posted this letter to the community on the Apple.com web site at:
http://www.apple.com/hotnews/
Third Party Applications on the iPhone
Let me just say it: We want native third party applications on the iPhone,
and we plan to have an SDK in developers' hands in February. We are excited
about creating a vibrant third party developer community around the iPhone
and enabling hundreds of new applications for our users. With our
revolutionary multi-touch interface, powerful hardware and advanced
software architecture, we believe we have created the best mobile platform
ever for developers.
It will take until February to release an SDK because we're trying to do
two diametrically opposed things at once--provide an advanced and open
platform to developers while at the same time protect iPhone users from
viruses, malware, privacy attacks, etc. This is no easy task. Some claim
that viruses and malware are not a problem on mobile phones -- this is
simply not true. There have been...
