Cocoa In Pieces

There is an entire page of links to OS X-centrix sites. And don't miss the list of 361 links to articles about programming in Cocoa. Late Night Cocoa

Daring Fireball

John Gruber's blog Daring Fireball comments on the world of Apple, Cocoa, technology, media, design, and many other connected topics. Today he outdoes himself with an unraveling of Macrovision's CEO Fred Amoroso's response to Steve Jobs's Thoughts On Music.
He has also recently taken apart Paul Thurrott, Rob Enderle, Palm's CEO, and others equally as clueless or overpaid.
Site Focus: Aperture Plugged In

Aperture Plugged In is a new site dedicated to Aperture plugins. It lists all the Aperture plugins known to man, plus links, forums, resources, and news. Hopefully the site will grow and be a good source of information for struggling plugin authors.
Site Focus: Brand Autopsy
2007-01-24
Brand Autopsy is a blog created by John Moore for his marketing practice. He treats the company marketing department as a patient, offering services to diagnose and treat common illnesses and ailments. The blog features Whole Foods and Starbucks Coffee more than you would expect, but that is because he cut his teeth working in the marketing departments of these two very successful companies.
There is a lot of interesting material here: the importance of people (they are very hard to copy), leadership, customers, book reviews, even an unboxing of the Wall Street Journal.
Site Focus: The Daily WTF
2006-12-30
The Daily WTF has a tag line that expresses exactly what it posts on a daily basis: Curious Perversions in Information Technology. Stories include inept management, peculiar programming techniques (Code Snippet of the Day), disastrous database techniques, labyrinthine designs, bizarre and ineffective security techniques, and incredibly misguided product developments . It is heavily tilted towards database, visual basic, enterprise application type of programming, but any member of an IT team will appreciate the material.

Roughly Drafted
2006-12-11
The creation of Daniel Eran, Roughly Drafted Magazine, is a rapidly-moving account of his analysis of Apple's product strategy. It's an excellent site for understanding what is happening right now and in the future with Mac OS X, iTV, the iPod, the iPhone, Microsoft, Vista, and all the other usually hype-ridden facets of the media/computer/mobile/DRM puzzle.
