Rumors of the “widescreen iPod” predate the announcement of the iPhone, but our new addition to the iPod line has had to live in the long shadow of its older sibling. More has been said about what the iPod touch lacks than what is has.
Join me for a MacMerc down-to-earth look at the new, most advanced iPod to date. We’ll do what we can to give the razor thin cover-flowin’ pod the attention it deserves.

DockStar is an add-on for Mail.app that I use to add extra “new mail” indicators to Mail.app’s Dock icon.
I found that if I used rules to organize incoming email into appropriate folders, I often overlooked the new email entirely. I guess I’m just so trained to focus on the InBox that even the numerical indicators on those other folders didn’t draw my attention. DockStar solved this problem for me as I was able to assign an addition “new mail” indicator on Mail Dock icon for up to 5 folders. Now the very icon that alerts me to new mail tells me where I need to look for it.
Among other fixes and enhancements, version 2.0.3 of DockStar fixes an issue where a sound notification was played more than once and adds compatibility with Mac OS X 10.5.
ecamm’s DockStar sells for USD$9.95
