The free version is more than adequate, at least for me.-NC Link to post
testos 0 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Bringing some attention to a new upstart app.http://home.comcast.net/~sequential/Pornograph, for the viewing of images in a directory. Perfect for comics, manga, or even non-pornographic images. There's already FFview for such things. but this doesn't have a bunch of features I don't use.EDIT: Pornograph now has a family friendly name: Sequential. Link to post

Levi- The perfectionist 0 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 FREEWARESafari Stand. The ESSENTIAL add-on for safari.- Puts thumbnails of all open tabs in a "stand" on left OR right of screen.- Dowload youtube movies!!! (using command+click)- Open new tabs by double clicking blank area in stand.- Re-arrange tabs, by dragging up/down thumbnails.- customisable.http://pimpmysafari.com/plugins/safaristandAcid Search- Add search engines to safari's search bar (youtube, wikipedia, yahoo, google...etc etc). - literally hundreds of engines to choose from (in a list), its easy to add more, and arrange them in custom order.- Remembers recent searches.http://www.pozytron.com/?acidsearchYouControl. Forget all other itunes controllers, this one is simply the best!- Compact; basic controls sit in menubar- Customisable buttons (rewind, pause, play, ratings etc)- Customisable menus (artists, albums, playlists etc)- customisable appearance (button skins; black, white, orange, etc)- Reliable. Never need to look at itunes unless you want to. Its so good, it should be part of itunes by default.http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15802...ontrol%3a-tunesPerian- Adds lots of essential codecs to quicktime, play virtually any video file! (flash, avi,divx etc)(one exception is WMV files, see flip4mac below)http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22923/perianNAGWARE(free but with limited features and/or nagging)Flip4mac - Get rid of windows media player for good. - With this plugin and Perian there is virtually NO need for any other players (how many players on windows can do that???).http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17787...4mac-wmv-playerJewelcase - A cool 3D visualiser for itunes, which displays a spinning 'jewel case' of the playing album. it looks extremely realistic. The Spinning album/cd case features album art on the front (downloaded from itunes store, or added manuall) and a blurred image for the back with track names on the back.- customisable fonts, 3d settings, and layout.http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16699Other things I couldnt live without;itunes, safari, ical, pages, photoshop, apple mail connected to gmail account, shapeshifter and my mac.

Quillz 0 Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Of course I use and recommend applications like Adium and Firefox, the stuff most Mac users already have. I also really like Opera 9 on the Mac platform, especially with the Tango skin.OmniWeb is a nice browser, makes a real good Safari replacement as it also uses WebKit for rendering. I also have Awaken so my iMac functions as an alarm clock, the LightMeUp daemon so I can immediately shut off the iMac display but keep the computer itself on and an iTunes widget that automatically finds and downloads lyrics to whatever song I have playing in iTunes.For downloading, I usually stick with Transmission and Acquisition, although Crosswire will be nice once it gets out of beta. Xtorrent has just released the first 1.1 beta release, which I might try if Transmission continues to have fairly slow development. Link to post

Ghil 0 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 @Painkiller: Handbrake hands down. Also, for those that use Safari, a new extension is making some waves. It's called Glims, and does many things that Saft can, while being free Link to post
username3d3 0 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 The new iPhoto 09 rocks!. I got to try it on my friends Mac and it's beautiful. It has a new face recognition feature, making it easier to sort and find photos. It also has another new feature called Places he told me that helps you sort photos by where they were taken. Plus, all of Apples applications are so beautiful and elegant! Link to post
WyrePC 0 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I will have to throw in on the newest version of Firefox. Firefox 3.5 is really excellent! Both on the Windows environment, and the Macintosh environment.OpenOffice.Org (love having cross platform compatibility)iLife09 is also in my list, very simple elegant solutions. Link to post
