Security dude's written a Port Forwarding Interceptor that lets you modify a raw TCP stream on the fly. I know it's wrong, but this guy makes me grin. Don't worry, my coat's just here.

I've been working with the dev team here at the Guardian on the API section of the Open Platform: a fully searchable XML, JSON and ATOM API for all Guardian content.

THE COCOTRONBookmarked on del.icio.us at 16:46.
Tags: cocoa, crossplatform, linux, mac, objective-c, port, programming, software, windows

Only Foundation is in place yet but apparently active work on CoreGraphics and AppKit is underway, along with some on CoreData. Seems it's got some way to go but looks good.
