MacDevCenter: Scripting Rectangular Selections in BBEdit 7

John Gruber: "Once you've seen rectangular text selection in action, it seems both obvious and simple, so you might wonder why it took so long for BBEdit to support it. One reason is that it's not nearly as simple as it looks, especially when you look under the hood using AppleScript."

Safari scripts available now

As I was checking the AppleScript dictionary for Safari, Kirk Klingbiel, of MacScripter.net fame, kindly sent an email announcing his discovery of several Safari scripts from Apple. Already! They include Import Image Into iPhoto, Reuters Top News Compilation Email (an example of page scrubbing), Display Thumb-Linked Images, Create Phone List, Full Screen, and Side-By-Side. On a related note, Safari, while not full featured, appears to be a decent browser considering its beta status. I haven't had time to test every aspect of it but it's handled everything that I've thrown at it so far. I'll leave it up to others to review it in detail.

Apple can't (con)figure out the bandwidth requirements for Macworld keynote

As is often the case, Apple has not appropriated enough bandwidth for the live keynote feed from Macworld. QuickTime Player times out while "configuring". Bummer.
