Brian Tiemann of Peeve Farm, "Silicon Valley-based purveyor of a confusing mixture of Apple punditry and political bile", noticed Boinx Mouseposé: "Ever have one of those moments where you see something and your hand flies up off the desk of its own accord and smacks you nervelessly across the forehead? [...] Like lightning to the temples. Brilliant!"

Digital Camera Magazine: "It's a bargain."
by Oliver - Thursday, January 27, 2005 - Permalink
David MacNeill reviews iVeZeen for Digital Camera Magazine: "This is a stone-simple application to turn your iSight into a camcorder. The app is so simple to use that there is really not much I can say except that it does precisely what it promises and that it's a bargain at $15. If you'd like to have a virtual, medium-res camcorder ready to go an the click of a button, this is the ticket."

Found in the net: RosarioFernandez.com posts a couple of cool animations: 1, 2, 3. Even using a demo version of iStopMotion, you can still learn: "I have to tape the "set" to the table. I can't keep repeating the same frames over and over. I've got to find better light."
Mouseposé grabs attention at Club Mac of Hampton
by Oliver - Thursday, January 27, 2005 - Permalink
Jack Dolby, President of Club Mac of Hampton, writes: "I just want to pass on my thanks for Boinx Mouseposé. Maybe I should really complain... I am president of the local Mac Users Group. I used Boinx Mouseposé at our last meeting and it literally stopped the show... People there were more interested in this tool than in my presentation... But it certainly made the presentation better and I can assure you that everyone there is now familiar with Boinx if they were not before. I can assure you that this delightful utility will be present at all of my club presentations."
macosxhints.com Pick of the Week: Mouseposé
by Oliver - Wednesday, January 26, 2005 - Permalink
Rob Griffiths at Mac OS X Hints selects Mouseposé as his Pick of the Week: "Mouseposé is a simple, fun, and occasionally useful application. It will be of particular interest to presenters and those who demonstrate OS X software in large rooms. It's also useful, though, in a text editing document when you've lost sight of the I-beam cursor." Mouseposé scores 8 out of 10. Thanks, Rob!
