Mark Derricutt's Disturbing Thoughts

Good night iPodder - Good morning Juice Receiver

I noticed Scott Grayban posted to the ipodder-dev list that due to legal action from Apple over the use of the iPod name, the iPodder podcast aggregator is now known as Juice Receiver and that the linux version has been forked into its own project is now called Cast Podder:

Well we all knew it was coming. Apple went after us over the "iPod" part in our name. The claim we were decieving users that our software was connected to Apple's iPod device, morons.

We have moved now !! Our new name is "Juice" or "Juice Reciever".

Website is now at http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net/ and there is a new version to be downloaded that reflects the changes for both the name and all the URL's in the program.

Also the linux version has forked into its own name and version but will always be a sister project of Juice. The linux version can be found at http://borgforge.net/projects/castpodder/

Juice & CastPodder developer

I'm not sure of the reasons behind forking the project for linux as opposed to continuing the cross platform nature of the original, but I hope both projects continue to put out some great releases.
