iChatUSBCam v2.1 with Universal Binary Support

Version 2.1 of Ecamm’s iChatUSBCam allows Intel Mac Mini, MacBook Pro and iMac users to take advantage of iChat AV video conferencing using a USB webcam (why you’d want to use a USB webcam on a MacBook Pro or an iMac when they come with built-in iSight, I don’t know). The update also includes various fixes and enhancements for existing users.

iChatUSBCam lets USB camera owners to take advantage of iChat AV’s video conferencing features. Previously compatible only with FireWire cameras, Apple’s iChat AV can be used with USB cameras or any other QuickTime video source. The program also adds the ability to broadcast your screen in lieu of a camera.

iChatUSBCam is USD$9.95 shareware. A demo is provided free of charge to let users try it out before purchasing.

Alternative iChat status icons. A la .Mac without the .Mac.

122954364 e54c8f4bcf m Alternative iChat status icons. A la .Mac without the .Mac.If you use iChat a lot to chat with your Mac lovin’ friends, you may have noticed the proliferation lately of a certain style of iChat icon (aka “avatar”). In mid-March, Apple released 11 sets of icons to its .Mac subscribers and possibly the most popular of these sets consisted of some round cornered, squares with blended colors expressing simple status messages.

Having downloaded this set myself, I quickly found that its 9 icons didn’t really fit in with my lifestyle. For instance, I don’t go to the gym so much, and when I go OOTO (Out Of The Office) it rarely if ever requires the use of a plane as depicted on the icon. No, I needed my own set.

After creating this set for myself, I started getting pings from my iChat peeps asking where I got these icons. Soon I was making new ones just for my friends and online acquaintances. It soon became apparent that I should really be offering this set up to the masses, the Mac web and, specifically, you ‘Mercs. So, here they are. Download ‘em and drag them into that iChat icon receptacle next to your name in the Buddy List. Enjoy.
