Apple introduces Metal for Mac, promises huge leap in graphics performance

Apple introduces Metal for Mac, promises huge leap in graphics performance: "At WWDC on Monday, Apple SVP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi announced Metal for Mac, which combines the power of OpenCL and graphics crunching capability of OpenGL into a unified API that reduces draw rendering times by 50 percent."

I had a hard time finding any actual developer announcements during the keynote, but this is a favorite.

VirtualEyez - 3 Channel Video Switcher with Chroma-Keying for Mac

We're proud to present this new version of VirtualEyez for Intel Macs. It runs on all modern Macs with 10.6.8 and higher. The CMIO virtual camera driver is compatible with Mavericks and Safari, and the VDIG camera driver spans compatibility backwards to QuickTime(tm) camera apps. For this version of VirtualEyez, we wanted to distill the app down to its most valuable features and make those features as fast as possible. We ultimately dispatched with CoreImage in exchange for its faster and more primitive cousin, OpenGL.

If you're an iMovie fanatic like I am, you might want to check in to this live streaming app for the Mac that makes it possible to create a virtual set environment (like most desk-based comedy / news shows) and then broadcast the whole kaboodle live as a Google Hangout or direct upload to YouTube.

As far as I can tell it works with all the webcam apps that I use, including Flash streaming apps embedded in Safari.

Here’s a quick look and how to enable an early version of OS X Yosemite’s new dark mode | 9to5Mac: "Although the dark mode for OS X Yosemite that Apple previewed onstage at WWDC two weeks ago hasn’t officially made it into any build of Yosemite as of today, developer Hamza Sood has figured out a Terminal command which will let you get a taste of OS X’s dark mode"

Dark mode. Sounds like an episode of Dr. Who.
