Goya Pty Ltd is pleased to announce the release of BaseElements 2.5.0. BaseElements is a FileMaker developer tool to analyze and document FileMaker database solutions. BaseElements provides a cross reference of every element in a solution and helps developers find and fix errors, track issues, document changes, and plan future development.

BaseElements 2.5.0 adds compatibility with the new features introduced in FileMaker Pro 10. BaseElements now imports a FMP 10 DDR as well as every version of the DDR back to FMP v7.

There is also a new v10 runtime version of BaseElements, so you can take advantage of the new features of 10 such as modifiable table layouts, and saved finds inside BE without purchasing your own copy of FMP 10. Once again BaseElements is helping FileMaker developers keep up with the latest in FMP technology like no other developer tool.

Atlanta, Georgia – MacMod, in partnership with iFixit, has announced the Mod of the Year award for 2008. This award is given to the Mac-related modification that best captures the imagination of a panel of judges who must rate it based on creativity, difficulty, and functionality. This year the Mod of the Year is a pre-AGP Macintosh hacked to run Leopard.

First Place:
Mod of The Year
Leopard hacked to run on pre-AGP Macintosh
Excerpt: “My mod challenge was to get Leopard running on the old Beige G3, B&W G3 (with G4 upgrade) and Yikes! G4 computers, but I ended up getting it running on a PowerMac 8500!”

Runner Up:
Black Anodized iPhone Custom
Excerpt: “The iPhone Custom process took over a month of hard work to complete the first device. That first device received so much positive attention that a manufacturing company was commissioned for a small scale, limited edition, production run.”

Second Runner Up:
MacMidi – Re-cased Powerbook Ti
Excerpt: “After a few years of hard use everyday, my Ti Powerbook eventually developed a screen fault and collected some new knocks and scratches. It seemed a shame to throw out such a tough old machine because of a screen problem. So I decided to join the case modding fraternity.”

Special thanks go out to the sponsors that made the 2007 Challenge possible:
* iFixit
* Booq
* Griffin Technology
* Speck
* Hosting Outfitters
