I know I'll probably get downmodded for this as it's a bit tangential but I'm of the view Justin.tv should rename and rebrand itself. It sounds like someone's homepage and it's origins are based around the founder's personal video channel. It just doesn't sound like a site where people can share video themselves and doesn't reflect what it has really become. Just my 2 cents anyway.

I can see where you're coming from, but we've built up a lot of brand equity in the Justin.tv name now, with tons of people coming to the site, links, etc. For more and more people, it's just a name, like "Fox" or "Warner Brothers". Most people don't even know about the original Justin.tv show, or who Justin is.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is there anything currently available for the Mac? Googling led to this for Windows: http://www.pcwinsoft.com/screencamera/landing.asp

How about Linux?
