Mac OS X App Remover Shootout: 7 Uninstallers

Mac OS X is missing an important utility. An application remover. Yes, you’re supposed to scrap an app by depositing it in the round file, but what about all the crap that’s left behind to clog up your system? I’m talking about the .plist file, the application support folder, and so on. That stuff isn’t going away on its own.

What Picassa for Mac Means for iPhoto Users

So there I was, a couple of days ago, lamenting the lack of Picasa for the Mac as I organized some new photos, when I stumbled on this article from TechCrunch. Did my eyes deceive me? Is Google developing a version of Picasa for the Mac? And it will be out sometime this year? I was overjoyed.

Joost: First Step to the Death of Television

Joost has been one of my favorite programs to play around with since I first got my hands on an early beta copy. A lot has changed since then. Modified user interface, advertisements, new logo, and a hell of a lot of new channels, but the core of the program remains the same. The program instantly sucks you in. From the instant full screen mode to the fancy moving “loading” light swirls to a GUI that reminds me of several Mac programs, the 1.0 Beta version of Joost hooks you from the minute you fire it up.
