It’s very evident that there simply isn’t a perfect browser for Mac with the myriad of choices available: Safari, Firefox, Opera, Flock, Camino, Cruz and probably several others I’m missing. Point being, every browser attempts to bring something unique to the game that will ensnare users. Safari is speedy and reliable with some nice features. [...]
Chill Pill, an app from Conceited Software, is essentially a SSB (single site browser, such as Fluid) just for Shaun Inman’s amazing Fever RSS software. Chill Pill allows you to enjoy Fever’s rich RSS experience while taking advantage of Cocoa and all of the other modern technologies in Mac OS X. Chill Pill is a [...]
I thought I would highlight what I found to be the most interesting points from the Snow Leopard Ars Technica review, for those who couldn’t make it through the 23 page review and provide a few thoughts on the OS overall. Read after the break for a list of UI and usability changes as well [...]
Every now and then I come across a simply stunning iPhone app that is way under priced. Ramp Champ is a steal! From the IconFactory and DS Media Labs (IconFactory is behind Twitterific for Mac & iPhone, as well as the wonderful Frenzic for Mac & iPhone) comes Ramp Champ. The app is essentially a [...]

Things was a very natural, yet amazingly useful step in getting more out of my Mac. There seems to be a flood of GTD (getting things done) applications available for the Mac lately. There [...]
The guys from 280 North have been hard at work completing a couple very impressive tasks. First, 280Slides.com is up and running in beta. It’s a simply amazing Keynote knockoff that takes web applications to an entirely new level. Seriously, if more web applications were this easy to use, more of us would be using [...]
With the introduction of Spaces in Mac OS X Leopard, the community mourned the loss of Virtue, a wonderful virtual desktop manager for Panther and Tiger. However, Tony has been hard at work since December 2007 I’ve learned, bringing the features missing from Leopard’s virtual desktops implementation to Leopard with a new application called HyperSpaces.

Today saw the official release of a new kid on the FTP block: Flow, from Extended Mac Software . Flow is exciting for a few reasons. First, it’s Leopard only. This means that the interface is super slick (lickable as the developer describes it). Views are animated and everything is simply gorgeous and simple to [...]
I don’t believe that I’ve really ever seriously discussed automative matters on the site before, but since I made a major purchase about two months ago and bought a new car, I thought I’d share my experiences with others in the same situation. First off, I was searching for about the cheapest thing with four [...]
