I've been looking for something easier to use than Ethereal when debugging HTTP server requests and HTTP Scoop seems to fit the bill. It works right out of the box (for example, it correctly chose the en1 interface on my Airport connected laptop rather than making me figure that out) and it automatically captures and decodes HTTP traffic as advertised. It shows as much detail about each request as anyone could wish for from the complete headers down to the TCP/IP protocol exchange. There are some user interface oddities but polish is a lot easier to add than basic functionality which the app already has.
MediaCentral is a great app for building a Mac based media center. It can update itself with new media plugins as they become available (or as you need them) which makes the initial download refreshingly small. It can download movie trailers (like Front Row) and much more. Shared iTunes music libraries are supported. Highly recommended!
A neat little application that does what it promises, providing just the right tradeoff between functionality and simplicity. It sure beats figuring out enough Excel to do the same thing!
