iChat Security Update Released
(2004-09-16) 09/17/2004 12:19 PM
A security update has been released for iChat which patches a rather serious vulnerability.

"A remote iChat participant can send a "link" that references a program on the local system. If the "link" is activated by clicking on it, and the "link" points to a local program, then the program will run. iChat has been modified so that "links" of this type will open a Finder window that displays the program instead of running it."

iChat Streaming Icon 10/28/2003 11:06 PM
I thought I was imagining it at first. Perhaps it was just the slightly different icon I was noticing. No, come to think of it, Joi Ito was actually moving -- at least his iChat icon was.

iChat Stream Icon streams your mug via iSight or the like as your iChat icon, live to anyone who has the (mis)fortune of having you in their buddy list.

I've always kept my buddy list visible, right there at the right of my desktop. Being virtual, it provides a sense of folks being around--virtual cube-mates, if you will. Now, thanks to the technical know-how of Andreas Pardeike, I can watch them pick their noses, see what they're having for lunch--hopefully not in that order--or just watch them bobbling and jiggling about on my desktop...

...like so many Tamagotchis. All I do is talk to them once a day, send them a file or three every other evening, and respond quickly to their "mornin'"s. Now to send Duncan that Chai; he looks a little drowsy this afternoon ;-).

iChat as phone

iChat as phone 02/10/2004 02:42 AM

Here's something I hadn't thought of: using a bluetooth headset with iChat. I already use iChat a great deal for communicating remotely with coworkers, but I usually wear big stereo headphones and use the iSight as the mic. Instead I could be wirelessly talking and listening using something like this.

I always knew iChat coupled with an iSight was a killer combo and I greatly prefer it over regular conference calls, but with a bluetooth headset it becomes even more useful for one-on-one conversations between other people with the same setup. Heck, if everyone you knew had a powerbook, iSight, and a bluetooth headset, this would kick ass all over Voice Over IP systems.

High-End iChat

High-End iChat 04/30/2004 07:19 PM
I should confess that I am the worst kind of obsessive high-end audio weenie. Fortunately, it’s my only really expensive hobby; I distinctly prefer beer to champagne. Anyhow, this creates a problem: when you upgrade your system to get better sound, what do you do with the old stuff? High-end gear tends to last more or less forever, and unlike computers, is usually 80% as good as what you replace it with. So, I’ve used some of that stuff to cobble together a home-office system. I’m taking the audio feed out of my PowerBook via USB to a (now apparently discontinued, sigh) Stereo-Link D/A converter, then through very decent Linn interconnects to an all-tube (and very beautiful) Cary Audio Design “Rocket 88” power amp, driving a pair of the original Totem “Model One” speakers (a dozen years old now). You can bet that I’m happy that iTunes now includes a lossless music encoder; I’m going to have to go back and junk all the existing MP3s I’ve ripped and grab ’em again. Anyhow, I just had my first audio iChat talk since I got this wired up, with Paul Hoffman, on the subject of Atom and the IETF. It was astounding, remarkable, unlike any mere “telephone” experience. Had I shut my eyes and you’d told me that Paul was sitting across the desk, I would have believed you.
