Apple just released iTunes 8.1 update via “Software Update”. There was speculation today about when the update would come.

Here is a list of whats to be had with the update.

In addition, iTunes 8.1 provides many other improvements and bug fixes, including:

• Supports syncing with iPod shuffle (3rd generation).
• Allows friends to request songs for iTunes DJ.

Image Resize

.
New version coming soon!Are you tired of having to fire up Photoshop or any other image manipulation program just to resize a handful of images? Well, I was, so I decided to program a little application that would allow you to resize images on the fly. If you’ve had this same problem, this program is for you. You can download it for free by clicking download below.

The current version is 0.2 (version 0.1). It is compatible with OSX version 10.4 and higher. The application only weighs about 1 megabyte. Please download it and give it a try.

Download Image Resize Version 0.2

This program is only available for OSX version 10.4 and higher.The application might run on 10.3 and 10.2, I wouldn’t advise it though.

Right now, image resize can only resize one image at a time. In the future I plan on allowing it to be able to accept folders and multiple files at once. These features are in the works, please stay tuned as it will be updated on a regular basis. Thanks. – ghostshadow
