Red Hat’s Fedora Project has announced several cool things this week. The first was Intel’s defection from Ubuntu to use Fedora in its Moblin (Mobile Linux Internet Project). Intel’s Dirk Hohndel billed it as driven by the project’s preference for Fedora’s RPM-based packaging system, but …

Mike Gunderloy spent over a decade consulting for Microsoft, helping to build the Access and Excel versions of Microsoft Office 97 and 2000, as well as SQL Server, C#, and ASP.Net. A series of Microsoft moves, most particularly its “patent land-grab,” has pushed Gunderloy away from Microsoft to the point that he’s now “100 percent Microsoft-free” and has embraced a variety of open-source projects and programming languages.

It started with a feeling that his recommendations for Office 2007 were “pretty much ignored,” which differed from his earlier experience with input give on Office 97, 2000, and 2003. But the patents - ah, the patents - broke the proverbial camel’s back:

The beginning of the end for the developer was when Microsoft went patent berserk. “What finally pushed me over the edge to ‘I’m getting out’ was when Microsoft started to assert non-intellectual property rights over the its Ribbon interface, making that level of sweeping intellectual property claims. Microsoft went from not patenting much to patenting everything,” Gunderloy says….

I’ve long been a critic of Facebook: too noisy, too superficial, too cluttered. This week, however, Facebook revealed plans to promote a range of new applications that are (gasp!) useful and not designed to simply occupy one’s time for a few seconds. According to a New York Times article:…

MarsEdit, the blogging client we’ve written about frequently in the past, has just been updated to version 2.2. MarsEdit is a favorite for many of us at TUAW (myself included) and supports a variety of publishing platforms.

The newest version adds support for AtomPub, which like XML-RPC, is a protocol for connecting blog software to your blog itself. Daniel Jalkut, MarsEdit’s developer, states to consider AtomPub support “introductory” — but if you’re using a custom blogging platform that uses AtomPub, you can now use MarsEdit to create content.

MarsEdit 2.2 also adds customizable image markup in addition to the built-in macros for image alignment. So if you frequently like to have images aligned in a certain way, you can create your own custom macro.

MarsEdit 2.2 is also significantly faster (I was pleased to see this myself, as start-up time was much quicker than the previous version). There is also now support for removing media items from the media catalog, a pull down editor for selecting the date, and improved MIME type generation for uploaded files.

Mobile fans take note — Daniel is working on an iPhone version of MarsEdit, and it will be released as soon as he is satisfied with the quality of the final product.

MarsEdit requires Tiger or Leopard. The update is free for current users. You can try MarsEdit for free for 30-days or buy it for $29.99.
