Apple just released iTunes 8.1 update via “Software Update”. There was speculation today about when the update would come. The Apple website and the recently updated iPhone app, “remote”, stated to have compatibility with iTunes 8.1. The day is coming to an end and Apple was able to deliver the update tonight. Here is a list of whats to be had with the update.

iTunes 8.1 is now faster and more responsive. You will enjoy noticeable improvements when working with large libraries, browsing the iTunes Store, preparing to sync with iPod or iPhone, and optimizing photos for syncing.

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.
• Adds Genius sidebar for your Movies and TV Shows.
• Improves performance when downloading iTunes Plus songs.
• Provides AutoFill for manually managed iPods.
• Allows CDs to be imported at the same sound quality as iTunes Plus.
• Includes many accessibility improvements.

Image Resize App

Image Resize is now Snow Leopard compatible.


Are you tired of having to fire up Photoshop or any other image manipulation program just to resize a handful of images?
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.
Image Resize supports the most popular image formats. Jpg, Jpeg, PNG, Gif, Bmp, etc. You can also convert file types by changing the file extension when saving your image.

The current version is 1.5  This version is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard  and 10.6 Snow Leopard. The application only weighs about 1 megabyte. Please download it and give it a try!

Download Image Resize Version 1.5

This program is only available for OS X version 10.5 Leopard and 10.6 Snow Leopard. The application might run on 10.4 Tiger on an Intel machine. I have not tested this on PPC or Tiger, so you are on your own.

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 planned for the future. Please support the development by donating! I will do my best to keep this application updated on a regular basis.

Thanks. – ghostshadow
