So, you're strolling through CompUSA or your favorite box store electronics retailer, and you walk down the aisle full of webcams, yearning to use an Internet video-conferencing tool like Sightspeed or iChat to talk with some buddies or family on the other side of the planet. You carefully examine the packaging of each of the web cameras and realize, "hey--none of these support Mac OS X!"
Well, don't fret. I just found a great piece of software that brings driver support to Mac OS X for a large number of webcams that claim they only work with Windows. It's called macam, and version 0.85 just hit Sourceforge. This version claims support for dozens of cameras, and you can grab it here.
