Just a quick note to let ya’ll know that the fellas over at OBOS have released a little holiday present for you. It is version 1.1 of the resource compiler (rc). Hit the link to read the news from the OBOS site. Great work fellas! Have yerselves a fantastic holiday!

Obviously, someone over at 3ivx wholeheartly believes in BeOS. The latest version of their product can only be found on 3 platforms and BeOS is one of those 3 (MacOS and Windows are the others). If you are interested in testing it out, head over to this page to grab the BeOS version.

For those of you that fancy yourself an artist, head on over to the BeOS Max pages to learn about a Logo contest for the version 3.1 release of BeOS Max. It is good to see the community working together to get things done.
update: DOH! after reading through the contest rules, it appears that your entries are due NOW or a short time ago… Maybe we can ask the BeOS Max fellas for an extension of a couple of days. Please
update2: WAHOO!!! The contest has been extended. Please, make sure you read the rules so you know what can be entered before you submit your images. Good Luck!

ICO noticed that an updated version of BeMAME can be found over at BeEmulated.net. If you fancy emulators, head on over and check it out. Also, if you see Caz online, thank him for all his hardwork or if you see him in person, buy him a pint of whatever he likes to drink. He deserves it. Thanks Caz!

Some quick updates in case you have missed them. First, yellowTab has released SP2 for Zeta RC1. If you are one of the lucky ones sportin’ your groovy new copy of Zeta RC1 and want the latest patch, head over to yt’s site. Second, for those of you that just can’t get enough of yT’s CVO, Zeta News has posted a couple of links to a 2 part interview(part 1, part 2) with Bernd while he was in Argentenia. Enjoy!

Like the beautiful duck that appears to sit on the water, apparently doing nothing, we have watched OBOS, wondering if they were actually doing anything. While the duck kicks like the dickens to stay in one spot, the OBOS team is working hard behind the scenes, moving all the nitty-gritty inners of OBOS towards the R1 goal. Head on over to the Open BeOS website to find out who deserves all the kudos and what they have been working on.
