provides network administrators with the skills necessary to master
networked environments that incorporate systems across a number of
platforms. In many cases, system administrators have extensive backgrounds
in a single OS, but, when presented with the challenge of integrating other
operating systems or even migrating to a new system, are then left with the
challenge of quickly learning a new set of protocols on-the-fly. In
real-world networks, Mac and Unix users are often forced to deal with
Windows, but don't know how. Conversely, many Windows administrators want
to foray into Mac and Unix...

Trinfinity Software announces Seagull 3 Public Beta for Mac OS X.
NEW YORK, N.Y. - - September 14, 2005 - - Trinfinity Software released
today a public beta version of Seagull 3, which focuses on delivering an
experience better than television, while watching video content from the
Internet.
There is never anything good on television. That is what my family is
always saying, and we have over two hundred channels. They point to
informercials on four consecutive channels to prove their point. They
beleaguer that point with the old movies that we have seen a dozen times,
the commercial breaks that seem to be longer than the show they are in, and
the constant news coverage of the celebrity of the week. They ask me, "Why
isn't there anything new and interesting on? Why are there commercials,
when we have a monthly cable bill? Why can't television be enjoyable,
rather than frustrating?"
The answer is that television isn't controlled by you. If you controlled...

MacReporter 2
MacReporter 2 Released
MacReporter pioneered the desktop news reading market for Mac OS X back in
2001. It allowed users to quickly get notified when new articles were
published on their favorite web sites, and read those articles without
having to navigate deep inside web sites. It used a very simple yet
unobtrusive Dock menu based interface, and remained silent when nothing was
worth mentioning so that you could go on with your daily duties.
Over the years, desktop news reading became a big phenomenon, seeing the
rise of standards such as RSS and Atom. Since it debuted while those
standards where still in their infancy, MacReporter had been using its own
way of proceeding, allowing it to fetch news from just any site, not only
the web sites that provided RSS feeds, which was pretty powerful for the
time being.
A new era has now begun, and it needs a next-generation MacReporter to give
you full power over the ever-increasing mass of available information.
