Ecamm’s Huckleberry3 iSight Mirror turns attention the other way

huckleberry3 20080311 193739 Ecamms Huckleberry3 iSight Mirror turns attention the other wayOne thing the iSight webcam lost when it became incorporated into the screens of iMacs and Mac portables is the ability to be repositioned. Ecamm’s Huckleberry Webcam Mirror gives current iSight users the ability to direct their webcam’s attention away from the user and onto the action happening “behind the screens,” as it were.

The Huckleberry is made from two acrylic mirrors and two mounting brackets. The device attaches to your screen and reflects the built-in iSight’s field of view. The new design of the Huckleberry 3 fits both MacBooks and MacBook Pros and comes with Ecamm’s iGlasses to flip and rotate the video image.

The Huckleberry costs USD$28.95.

DockStar adds Mac OS X 10.5 compatibility

dockstar 20070920 203633 DockStar adds Mac OS X 10.5 compatibilityDockStar 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
