**Mac OS X 10.2.8 Returns** -- Late last week, Apple posted a new
Mac OS X 10.2.8 Update, replacing one that was released and then
quickly pulled after causing significant troubles on many machines
(see "Mac OS X 10.2.8 Comes and Goes" in TidBITS-699_). The new
update for computers running Mac OS X 10.2.6 or 10.2.7 (the latter
available only on some new Macs such as the recently released
15-inch PowerBook G4) is available as a 38.9 MB download via
Software Update and as a standalone installer. A Mac OS X 10.2.8
Update (Combo) version is available as a 97 MB download, and
updates Mac OS X 10.2 and higher.
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25524>
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25525>
<http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=07379>
For users who installed the first Mac OS X 10.2.8 update, Apple
has also posted a separate updater via Software Update, the Mac OS
X Update 10.2.8 (Build 6R73) with an updated Ethernet driver and
an update to the battery status menu; it is a 248K download. And
lastly, owners of Power Mac G5 machines require a different
updater that works only on those models, the Mac OS X 10.2.8 (G5)
Update, which is a 13 MB download. [JLC]

Palm Releases Tungsten T3, Tungsten E, and Zire 21
--------------------------------------------------
by Jeff Carlson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Palm, Inc. last week released a trio of handheld devices,
available immediately. At the high end, the Palm Tungsten T3
features a 320 by 480 color screen, which can display data
vertically or rotated horizontally (good for reading electronic
books or working with spreadsheets using the included DataViz
Documents to Go software). Like the Tungsten T and T2 models,
the T3 case features a lower section that slides down to reveal
Graffiti-writing area (see "Tungsten T Marks New Beginning for
Palm" in TidBITS-655_); however, the T3 is the first device from
Palm to incorporate the handwriting recognition area in software -
tapping a small icon makes the area disappear to view more data.
The $400 Tungsten T3 includes 64 MB of memory, a speedy 400 MHz
Intel XScale processor, an expansion card slot, and Bluetooth
wireless networking.
<http://www.palmone.com/us/products/handhelds/tungsten-t3/>
<http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=06992>
Occupying the middle ground is the sleek Tungsten E, the spiritual
descendent of the popular Palm V. The E is lighter and thinner
than the Tungsten T series, and comes with a high-resolution
(320 by 320) color screen, 32 MB of memory, a 126 MHz ARM
processor, and an expansion card slot. Unlike the T3, the
Graffiti area is the traditional silkscreened section of the
screen. However, the Tungsten E is aggressively priced at $200.
<http://www.palmone.com/us/products/handhelds/tungsten-e/>
Aimed at users who are either cost conscious or simply don't need
much more than a basic handheld organizer, the Zire 21 is a bare-
bones system featuring a 160 by 160 grayscale screen (without a
backlight), 8 MB of memory, and a 126 MHz ARM processor. The Zire
21 costs $100; the original Zire, which features 2 MB of memory
and a slower processor, is now available for $80.
<http://www.palmone.com/us/products/handhelds/zire21/>
In addition to introducing new hardware, Palm has finally updated
some of the core Palm OS applications - and given them a name
change as well, with Date Book becoming Calendar, Address Book
becoming Contacts, the To Do List becoming Tasks, and Memo Pad
becoming Memos. The Contacts application now supports multiple
addresses and more fields, including a Birthday field that adds
the date to the Calendar. Events can be categorized, and
categories can be color-coded. And, at long last, you can create
Memos that are longer than 4K. The software improvements apply
only to the Tungsten T3 and Tungsten E, however; there is no
upgrade path for owners of previous models to take advantage
of the new features.
This sort of terminology change drives writers like me crazy. The
third edition of my book Palm Organizers: Visual QuickStart Guide
is now being printed, so I'll be publishing a free downloadable
PDF update that covers these changes at the companion Web site
linked below, shortly after the book appears in bookstores.

Spinning Around with the ShuttleXpress
--------------------------------------
by Kirk McElhearn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
When I bought one of Griffin Technology's PowerMates, I thought
it was the cat's pajamas. In my review here last year (see
"Unleashing the Power of the PowerMate" in TidBITS-653_), I said,
"It will most likely remain by my keyboard for a very long time."
Alas, that time is shorter than I had expected, for I have found
something even better: the Contour Design ShuttleXpress.
<http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=06974>
<http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powermate/>
The PowerMate is a strange gadget: consisting of a rotating knob
and a push-button, it can be programmed to do almost anything with
any application. While the PowerMate's brushed aluminum finish and
pulsing blue LED give it an additional cool-factor advantage, the
ShuttleXpress wins out in usability. Since the ShuttleXpress has
replaced my PowerMate, and since the PowerMate is a popular item
that many readers may be familiar with, much of this article will
compare the two devices.
<http://www.contourdesign.com/shuttlepro/shuttlexpress.htm>
**One for Each Hand** -- Becoming accustomed to one of these
alternative controllers - either the PowerMate or the
ShuttleXpress - involves changing the way you work and
accepting the idea of having two input devices: one, your
mouse or trackball, which you use to point, click, drag &
drop; and two, a rotating device, which offers scrolling and
other functions that are normally available either from the
mouse or the keyboard.
This also implies a certain amount of ambidexterity. Although I
am right-handed, I find it more comfortable to use my left hand
for my trackball and my right hand for these additional devices.
Not everyone will be comfortable with this approach, but it's
worth a try.
**A Bird's Eye View of the ShuttleXpress** -- Shaped like the top
half of a flying saucer, in matte black plastic, the ShuttleXpress
is designed primarily for video editing. But, like the PowerMate,
it can be programmed to run any of a number of commands or actions
with any application you want. Its background process monitors the
active application, and makes the appropriate settings available
according to the program you are using.
The ShuttleXpress features a central jog wheel, which has a finger
depression, and which turns 360 degrees. Around this jog wheel is
a rubberized, spring-loaded shuttle ring, which has a total of 15
positions: 1 in the center, and 7 to each side. You can program
the action associated with each independently. Five buttons run
around the top circumference of the device in positions that
naturally lie under your five fingers. The three middle buttons
have depressions so you can locate them more easily, and you can
program each button separately.
So, with a total of seven controls, the ShuttleXpress out-controls
the PowerMate. The main differences are the five buttons and the
spring-loaded shuttle ring: with the PowerMate, when scrolling,
you must keep turning the knob; with the ShuttleXpress you just
turn and hold the shuttle ring, and, when you have finished
scrolling, the shuttle pops back to its center position.
**Programming the ShuttleXpress** -- It's easy to program the
ShuttleXpress, almost as easy as for the PowerMate. But the
ShuttleXpress is less Mac-like, since you must program it through
a dedicated application. It would be simpler if the ShuttleXpress
used a preferences pane, as with the PowerMate.
To configure settings for a program, open the ShuttleXpress
application and choose a program name from a pop-up menu. About
two dozen pre-configured programs appear in the list, and each
includes sample settings that you may or may not want to keep.
You can add other programs, and also adjust global settings that
will apply to any application not in the list.
Configuring these settings can be a bit complicated. Although it's
easy to set actions for the buttons and even the jog wheel (they
can type keystrokes, press modifier keys, open files or folders,
scroll up, down, right or left, and perform all sorts of mouse
clicks), it's not as simple to program the shuttle ring. Part of
the reason is that this ring has 15 settings. In addition, you
can program actions for the passage from one ring position to
the next.
Looking at the shuttle ring's built-in settings can give you an
idea of how to program it. To best use the shuttle ring for, say,
up and down scrolling in document windows, you want to have the
amount of scrolling increase as you turn it. In other words,
turning it to the first position scrolls slowly, and turning it
further scrolls more quickly. This variable speed system works
much better than PowerMate's single-speed scrolling, but it takes
a while to program all 14 settings (it's best to leave the central
rest position doing nothing for most uses). As for the jog wheel,
you can only set it to scroll at the same speed, since it's
designed to rotate 360 degrees, and you can program only right
and left movements with it.
One tip: to set up scrolling for several applications, find one
of the built-in settings that has the kind of scrolling you want
already set and export it. Then import it, renaming it to match
the application you want to use. As you work, you may find
yourself adjusting the scrolling settings for one application
to tweak it just so; use it as a template for other programs
you want to scroll in the same way.
**Putting the ShuttleXpress into Action** -- How can you get the
most out of this gadget, and why is it better than the PowerMate?
If you look back at my review of the PowerMate, you'll see a
handful of ideas for using the device in different programs.
You can mimic those ideas with the ShuttleXpress, but you can
also go much further, thanks to the five buttons it offers.
In Microsoft Entourage, which I use for email, I set the five
buttons to do the following: check mail, press Return (to open a
message), press Delete, press Command-N (to create a new message),
and press Control-T (to run an AppleScript that empties the
Trash). That covers just about every action I perform regularly
in Entourage, with the exception of typing. Naturally, the jog
wheel and shuttle ring are set to scroll: the shuttle scrolls up
and down, and the jog sends up arrow and down arrow keystrokes,
to navigate message lists.
How about Web browsing? For Safari, I set the jog and shuttle to
scroll, and set the five buttons as follows: display my home page,
press Command-T (to create a new tab), press Command-W (to close
a tab or window), and press the keyboard shortcuts for Back
(Command-[) and Forward (Command-]).
Since I often work with Microsoft Word, I set one button to
save my work (sending Command-S), another to create a new file
(Command-N), another to switch windows (Command-F6), and two
buttons set to show and hide the formatting palette. I can change
any of these whenever I want, and I have already switched the last
two buttons around to show and hide specific toolbars for
different projects.
What about the Finder? Well, there's New Window, my Home folder,
my Applications folder, and Show and Hide Toolbar. But that's just
me: I'm sure you can think of different actions you'd want to
assign to the five buttons in the Finder, as well as in all sorts
of programs.
**Pros and Cons** -- Although the ShuttleXpress is better than
the PowerMate for my use, it has some disadvantages. The
PowerMate scrolls pages more smoothly - this may be the way
it sends commands to my Mac. But since you can set variable
scrolling speeds with the shuttle ring's different positions,
the ShuttleXpress, with its scrolling acceleration and
deceleration, simply works better, especially for scrolling
through long documents.
The ShuttleXpress is much bigger than the PowerMate (about twice
the diameter), which may be a problem for people with limited
space, but it feels more natural under my hand, and my fingers
rest perfectly on the five buttons. Its rubber, spring-loaded
shuttle ring also feels more natural than the PowerMate's knob
for scrolling. Aesthetically, however, the PowerMate's brushed
aluminum and pulsing blue LED not only looks nicer but feels
cooler as well.
The ShuttleXpress could go even further by offering chording,
where you invoke actions by pressing two or more buttons at a
time. Chording would expand the number of possible actions well
beyond five. I would also like to be able to type, say, Command-
Tab, to switch applications using this device. (As it is, you
cannot set Command-Tab to this device, since the Finder traps
this command, and you cannot manually select or enter keystrokes
in the ShuttleXpress application, like you can when configuring
the PowerMate.)
I'd also like some way of printing out the ShuttleXpress's
settings. With so many buttons, and so many shuttle ring
settings, you can easily forget which actions do what with which
applications. It would be helpful to have a graphical printout,
that shows the shape of the ShuttleXpress, with the settings next
to each part of the device.
Contour Design has told me that most of the above reservations
will be addressed in a forthcoming version, due out in a few
months. If all these corrections are made, I'd have few negative
things to say about the ShuttleXpress.
In the end, the ShuttleXpress wins out over the PowerMate for
usability and flexibility. I'm sold, at least until someone raises
the ante in this new breed of input devices. In just a couple
of days, I became hooked on the ShuttleXpress and unplugged my
PowerMate, a device that I previously couldn't live without. I
won't claim that I'll never get rid of this device - I've already
eaten crow for saying that about the PowerMate - but any
competitors are going to have to go a lot further to get me
to unplug the ShuttleXpress.
The ShuttleXpress costs $60, and runs under Mac OS versions 8.6
through 9.2, or under Mac OS X 10.1 or later.

Seven Hundred Issues, a CMS, and Creative Commons
-------------------------------------------------
by Adam C. Engst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
We like to announce changes to mark the ticking by of large even
numbers on the TidBITS odometer. In 1997, TidBITS-400_ introduced
our dynamic Web site, all driven via Lasso from FileMaker
databases, with glue provided by HyperCard, AppleScript, and
Retrospect. For TidBITS-500_ in 1999, we introduced polls and
completely redesigned our home page to make room for both breaking
news headlines throughout the week and a listing of hot topics
in TidBITS Talk.
<http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=04179>
<http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=05588>
Most recently, 2001's TidBITS-600_ gave subscribers the option of
receiving TidBITS in a sparsely elegant HTML format or as a text
or HTML announcement. The HTML version of the full issue in
particular has become quite popular, though that list still a
fraction of the size of our text-only setext list. Other changes
for that issue included a printer-friendly layout option for
articles; explicit links to TidBITS Talk discussions within
articles; sharing of articles via email; and support for RSS so
you can read TidBITS in NetNewsWire, MacTracker, Radio UserLand,
or your favorite RSS client. And yes, I'm telling you about these
services because I suspect many readers don't realize they're are
available.
<http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=06589>
<http://www.tidbits.com/about/list.html>
<http://www.tidbits.com/channels/tidbits.rss>
**Choosing a CMS** -- As much as I'd like to announce a sweeping
Web site overhaul so we can extract ourselves from a system that
has grown awkwardly since we introduced it in 1997, our efforts
to put a powerful new content management system (CMS) into place
haven't yet come to fruition. Back in April, we reported on our
progress and solicited additional recommendations from readers.
We've spent much of the time since then evaluating different
contenders, some in great detail.
<http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=07143>
Honestly, it's been a roller coaster ride. We'd start looking at
a program, get excited about everything it promised, and then
discover some major architectural limitation. We had to eliminate
one promising package when we realized that it wanted to display
every content object in the system in a hierarchical interface
that looked a bit like a Finder window with disclosure triangles.
That might work for many sites, but since we already have nearly
6,000 articles and 19,000 TidBITS Talk messages, such an interface
would bog down instantly. Several other highly attractive content
management systems claimed to support email newsletters, but when
we looked deeper, it turned out they couldn't send articles in
the database out via email (you had to create the newsletters by
hand!). And in general, there seemed to be a general lack of
understanding of the kind of ubiquitous linking we use between
articles and other content objects. As Ted Nelson so famously
said, "Everything is intertwingled," and we're not willing to
lose meaningful connections between related articles, or between
articles and discussions.
Of course, there was always that nagging open source answer to any
criticism: "Oh, that's a great idea! Why don't you write that and
submit it back so everyone else can take advantage of it too?"
Open source is a great concept, but someone still has to do the
work, and that person needs to earn a living somehow. Our estimate
for customizing Tiki, the most promising of the open source
content management packages, came in at more than 200 hours and
$10,000, and that was before diving into the mess of integrating
with a huge email list. (That said, Tiki is extremely cool, runs
under Mac OS X, and is absolutely worth a look if you don't need
the kind of ubiquitous linking and email integration that we do.)
<http://tikiwiki.org/>
But we have made a decision, and in some ways, it's an affirmation
of a possibility we looked at briefly early on in the process: Web
Crossing. For those that haven't seen it, Web Crossing is a hugely
powerful package that's aimed primarily at providing online
community tools (there is also a free version that provides Web,
email, and FTP servers). Apple uses it for their discussion
forums, as do many other high-profile sites like Salon. We
certainly need more than just online community tools, but Web
Crossing actually provides all the building blocks for creating
a full-fledged content management system, with an object-oriented
database and Web, email, FTP, and NNTP servers, among others.
With Web Crossing 5.0, the program became entirely modular,
enabling upgrades that don't overwrite any custom modifications,
and adding weblog and wiki plug-ins.
<http://www.webcrossing.com/>
More important, Tim Lundeen and the other folks at Web Crossing
are extremely interested in turning Web Crossing into a robust
content management package (with the weblog and wiki plug-ins as
first steps in that direction). So, to knock off multiple birds
with a single inexpensive stone, we're going to be working with
Tim and the others at Web Crossing to develop our content
management system, with an eye toward helping them create a
powerful CMS that has all the features that we found lacking
elsewhere.
The process is just beginning, and we hope to be replacing aspects
of the TidBITS infrastructure piece by piece with equivalent (or
better) systems written in Web Crossing over the next few months.
**Creative Commons License** -- Our choice of Web Crossing as a
content management system is significant, but it won't have an
effect for a bit yet. Our second announcement for our seven
hundredth issue is perhaps just the reverse, a very small change
that takes effect right now.
Since the earliest days of TidBITS, we've always encouraged non-
commercial publications like user group newsletters to reprint our
articles, as long as they retain the original author's byline and
credit TidBITS as the source of the article. User group newsletter
editors from all around the world have used our articles to fill
space and beef up their newsletters, which in turn helps keep user
groups vibrant and alive.
Our overall goal isn't changing, and non-commercial publications
will still be able to reprint articles, but as of today, all
TidBITS issues will be governed by a Creative Commons license.
I've written about Creative Commons in "A Couple of Cool Concepts"
in TidBITS-617_, and it's an extremely worthwhile project that
aims to expand the range of creative work that can be shared and
built-upon by others.
<http://creativecommons.org/>
<http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=06720>
To that end, Creative Commons has established a number of
initiatives. The Licensing Project helps users build licenses
that provide to the public some of the rights normally restricted
to the copyright holder. The Founders' Copyright project allows
copyright holders to dedicate their work to the public domain
after just 14 years, the initial term of copyright established by
the First Congress of the United States in 1790. Computer book
publisher O'Reilly and Associates has given all of their authors
the option of covering books under the Founders' Copyright; both
Tonya and I have placed our work for O'Reilly under Founders'
Copyright to ensure that the books go into the public domain after
14 years, which is probably 12 years after they've sold their last
copy. Lastly, the International Commons project aims to draft and
adopt country-specific Creative Commons licenses that take local
laws into account throughout the world.
<http://creativecommons.org/license/>
<http://creativecommons.org/projects/founderscopyright/>
<http://press.oreilly.com/pub/pr/1042>
<http://creativecommons.org/projects/international/>
Anyway, I ran through the simple steps on the Creative Commons Web
site to generate an "Attribution-NoDerivs-NonCommercial" license,
and that's what will now govern the use of TidBITS content. As I
said before, there's no significant difference from before, other
than that reprinted articles will have to mention the Creative
Commons license - we'll change our suggested reprint boilerplate
text to accommodate it.
<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd-nc/1.0/>
Why go to the effort of using the Creative Commons license if
there's no particular difference from what we've always done?
Because, and I speak as someone who makes his living from
copyright, I think the current copyright regime is fundamentally
flawed in ways that bias the system toward large companies and
at the expense of the public, all while failing to promote the
creativity of the individual any more than was achieved with the
very first instantiation of copyright law in the United States.
Between the Licensing Project and Founders' Copyright, the people
behind Creative Commons are working on, well, creative ways of
helping the public interact with a wide range of content while
helping creators meet their goals in making that content
available. More power to them.
