RapidWeaver 3.5 Review

 

RapidWeaver is a website creation and management application designed exclusively for the Mac. It has been around far longer than the current competitors, iWeb and Sandvox, and is an elegant and fun way to start a website. RapidWeaver gives you the power to blog, podcast, share photos, movies, and files, keep in touch, [...]

Shiira 2.0 and Coda 1.0 Release

 

So today is a pretty big day in the Mac community. The Mac Fanatic Giveaway is under way. The MacApper Switcher bundle giveaway kicked off today as well.
However, if possible, something more exciting debuted today. Coda from Panic Software. I hadn’t heard anything about this application until this past weekend, but [...]

Schoolhouse 2 and Journler 2.5 Reviews

 

I have reviewed both of these applications in the past. However, both of these apps deserve a second look because the feature set has changed so much. In the case of Schoolhouse, the app went from being adequate to a full-fledged class management application that I cannot function without. Journler has matured [...]

Using XTorrent’s Tivo Functionality

 

First, I feel bad because I’m just reposting some news from another site, but this is really worth it. When I talked about Xtorrent awhile back, I had downloaded and was enjoying a beta build. However, after getting closer to the final release, I just hadn’t used it as much and didn’t buy [...]

Cha-Ching 1.0 Out April 20th

This Friday, we’ll see the 1.0 release of Cha-Ching. [...]

SmartBackup Review

 

SmartBackup is by far the best backup solution I’ve found for normal backups. The software is a lot like syncing your iPod. The first time you sync your backup, it will take awhile to put everything in the backup. However, subsequent backups take very little time and yet you always have your [...]

Leopard Delayed Until October

 

First words: noooo!
This is a little disappointing for a few reasons. First, it shows that Apple is more dedicated to pushing the iPhone out the door than releasing software for Macs. Clearly stated as:
iPhone contains the most sophisticated software ever shipped on a mobile device, and finishing it on time has not come [...]
