XMPP, Track and the Social Media Command Line

Last Friday I created a FriendFeed Real-Time bridge to XMPP. Over the weekend I’ve had several people receiving their home feed in real time over XMPP (GTalk to be specific).

OS X-installing EFi-X now shipping for $155

Fascinating… but not sure I’d be an early adopter on this. What is really interesting is how many companies are taking a run a Apple’s refusal to let OSX load on non-apple hardware.
