Vara Software Announces Wirecast for Macintosh - Webcasting like you've
never seen before.
London, England - May 04, 2004 - Vara Software today introduced
Wirecast for Macintosh, a powerful yet simple broadcasting software
package built for the professional webcaster.
"Wirecast goes well beyond a simple talking head broadcast, offering
professional titles, smooth transitions, and multiple camera support,"
said Paul Carnine, co-founder and president of products. "All of this
is packed into an innovative interface that allows the Webcasting
operator to focus on the broadcast as it unfolds, dynamically choosing
between pre-built shots with a single click."

KeyCue - find and remember menu shortcuts
KeyCue - find and remember menu shortcuts
In a typical Mac OS X application, the most frequently needed menu items
have keyboard shortcuts that let you access these menu items faster. Many
applications have 40 or more menu shortcuts. Menu shortcuts may be
convenient to use, but you first need to memorize them, and you must
remember all of them correctly in order not to make mistakes that may lead
to undesired results.
Just hold down the Command key for a while - KeyCue comes to help and shows
a table of all currently available menu shortcuts.
When you have found the desired shortcut in the KeyCue table, just type it
and continue working as usual. The KeyCue window will disappear
automatically.
But KeyCue is not only useful for finding menu shortcuts. You learn much
more: When you use KeyCue for a while, you will be surprised about the
multitude of menu commands in many applications. Since some of these
commands are buried in submenus, you may not even be aware that they exist.

Beaverton, OR (April 30, 2004) Jiiva is pleased to release version 1.5
of SuperScrubber, the Mac's most powerful disk erasing solution.
