SpamSieve 1.3
SpamSieve 1.3 is now available.
Like your professional e-mail client, but jealous of Mail.app's spam
filter? SpamSieve brings powerful Bayesian spam filtering to other popular
e-mail clients. It learns what your spam looks like, so it can block nearly
all of it. It also learns what your good messages look like, so it won't
confuse them with spam. Other spam filters get worse over time as spammers
adapt to their rules; SpamSieve actually gets better over time as you train
it with more messages. SpamSieve doesn't delete any messages--it only marks
them in your e-mail client--so you'll never lose any mail. SpamSieve works
with any number of mail accounts, of whatever types are supported by your
e-mail software (e.g. POP, IMAP, Hotmail, AOL).

Konfabulator 1.0
Konfabulator, Released!
PALO ALTO, California-February 10, 2003-Arlo Rose and Perry Clarke are
proud to announce the release of Konfabulator 1.0.
Konfabulator is a JavaScript runtime engine for Mac OS X that lets you run
little files called Widgets that can do pretty much whatever you want them
to. Widgets can be alarm clocks, games, can tell you your AirPort signal
strength, will fetch the latest stock quotes for your preferred symbols,
and even give your current local weather.
What sets Konfabulator apart from other scripting applications is that it
takes full advantage of Apple's Quartz rendering. This allows Widgets to
blend fluidly into your desktop without the constraints of traditional
window borders. Toss in some sliding and fading, and these little guys are
right at home in Mac OS X.
The format for these Widgets is completely open and easy to learn so
creating your own Widgets is an extremely easy task.
For the "skinning" crowd, Konfabulator is a dream come true. You can...
