Kanzu news
Kanzu Utilities has released iCan 1.0b10. iCan is a scriptable, customizable trashcan for OS X desktops for those who still miss the one in OS 9. Changes in this version: The sounds now work again (broke in 10.b9). Tamed the "Demo" badge on the trash (now appears after 10 minutes use). Moved "Empty Trash" and "Open Trash" menu items to the top of the contextual menu. Cosmetic changes in the Customize window.
Kanzu also announces that Extra Suites 1.0 will be available at the end of January. Extra Suites, known as X-Commands during the beta stage, provides more than 70 additional commands to scripters. X-Commands v 0.96 is available for download.

John Gruber reviews Safari
On Safari's AppleScript support: "I haven't had a chance to do more than look at Safari's scripting dictionary, but it's a disappointment - no apparent support for the standard browser Apple event suite. I'll give Apple a pass for now because it's still in beta, but there's absolutely zero reason not to expect that Apple's own browser will soon offer the best AppleScript support on the platform."

Dave Winer: "Dave Hyatt, a member of the Safari team at Apple (that's their new Web browser) has a weblog, and there he responds to the issues raised by Mark Pilgrim. This is fantastic. This is how the Web is supposed to work. Bravo." [Scripting News]
