Dropbox - Screencast. very cool demo for an online backup & sync tool that’s really well integrated with macos and windows.

Launch: Backpack Multiuser. 37signals gets into the intranet space (though only for small business’)

Vara Software : ScreenFlow. nice looking screencasting app for leopard only.

Ask 37signals: How do you make screencast videos?. odd hybrid of mac and pc software for the final product.

Copilot is now free on weekends - Joel on Software. need to remember this next time my mother has a computer problem.

SuperDuper! 2.5 Released! “The new version includes full Leopard support, including the ability to store a bootable backup side-by-side with a Time Machine backup on a single volume”. that’s awesome what you can have it on the same volume.

VLC RAR-Loader. play video files compressed over multiple rar files before they’re all finished downloading. handy for the usenet crowd.

Mac OSX Leopard: Translucent Menubar Fix. Upgraded to Leopard today. The translucent menubar is probably one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen Apple do.

SafariStand. plugin that does smart keyword searches, auto-search as you type, and opens new window links in a tab. very nice. i’m totally sold on safari over firefox now. it’s so much faster.

Keywurl. plugin for safari to do smart keyword bookmarks like firefox

Pimp My Safari: bookmarklets. there’s some really random ones in there like doing split-screens.

Google Search with cmd-K in Safari. this is the keyboard shortcut in firefox for searching. so much better than option-cmd-f.

FlickrBooth. Apple photobooth plugin to auto-upload images to flickr

Rogue Amoeba - Airfoil 3 ships. now with support for proper syncing of video.

Thrudb - faster, cheaper than SimpleDB. create a scalable distributed datastore with memcache and this disk+S3 storage solution. uses facebook’s thrift as well. tobi has a post on getting this setup on OSX.

Google Talk adds translation service. supports 26 languages. the babelfish lives!

Perian - The swiss-army knife of QuickTime® components. vlc has been annoying me lately, haven’t had any problems with this yet.

Skitch - Snap, Draw, Share. the demo is pretty cool. probably pretty useful if you’re emailing/sharing lots of graphics.

A 34-company committee couldn’t create a successful ham sandwich, much less a mobile application suite.
- on google’s mobile phone platform

A Funkaoshi Production :: Git. ram talks about setting up and using Git, a source control system that functions pretty differently from cvs and svn.
