[13] Cooliris

February 19, 2007

The name itself is cool enough for attention. Cooliris is a little add-on to Safari (or other supported browsers) that allows you to preview links without clicking. It’s really cool but it takes a while of getting used to having the preview pop-out right in front everytime you move the mouse.

How I wish that it will works not only on search links but on most website links too for faster preview. There is also an option to disable it in Safari.

Ever need to send a large chunk of attachment but couldn’t do it by email? Pando has the simple and fast solution.

If you have an iSight and you want to make video recording, iRecord may just be the alternative to QT Pro and it’s free.

Just run it by clicking the red button and when you are done, the clip is saved in QT format. What a simple and cool little piece of software.

[10] Skype

February 12, 2007

By the way, who doesn’t know Skype? It made headlines when eBay bought it for over a billion. It certainly change the way communication should be.

Using P2P technology, Skype lets you make voice & video calls (using webcam) to anyone else on Skype, anywhere in the world, anytime for FREE. It is more stable than any other softwares available and the call quality is pretty good. You can also use Skype to call any landlines or mobile phones with SkypeOut credit.

[09] Parallels Desktop

February 11, 2007

We no longer have to worry about Mac-version of Windows-only applications. Since Mac goes Intel, Parallels Desktop is the solution to having the best of both OS in one computer.

With Parallels, you can run both Windows and Mac OS X simultaneously without the need for rebooting as in the case of BootCamp. It is seamlessly fast and stable.

Ever thought of reclaiming several hundred megabytes of your hard drive by removing those unnecessary and unwanted language resources?

Monolingual might just be a handy tool to remove them thus freeing up more space.

[07] Growl

February 8, 2007

Growl is a simple system that allows any application that Growl supports to send notification via screen display, thru emailing or even spoken word instead. Try it to see how it really works.

If you have Gmail account, shall I recommend Gmail+Growl?

[05] TextExpander

February 6, 2007

TextExpander is a not-to-be missed utility to insert frequently-used texts and images on-the-fly by typing its customised abbreviations. It is really useful when filling out forms or inserting email signatures. It can also insert the current date and time in any format.

The program stays on the menu bar so much so that you tend to forget you have it in the first place.

With iPod we no longer have physical stacks of CDs collection anymore as we mostly transfer them all into our iPod library. But what happen when you need, for some reasons, to transfer those songs and playlists back to iTunes.

By default, iTunes does not allow you to do just that. Download Senuti. A simple application that will do everything in reverse; transfering everything from your iPod back to your computer with ease.
