Wow thanks for doing the 2007 update to this! This is seriously a mac users dream. There are a lot of applications in there that I'm tempted to buy but I'm waiting for OS X 10.5 and for applications to support that before I go buying a bunch of programs. Still plently of free ones for me to check out!

I use the following and find them very useful on a day-to-day basis (and quick too):

- The Unarchiver: Archive unarchiver (Free)

- Xee: Image viewer (Free)

Some applications which I've tried in the past and I think are worth mentioning:

- Menuet: Menubar iTunes controller ($12.95)

- Remote Buddy: Remote control feature.. extender. It adds a lot of functionality to your remote which would previously had only been used for Frontrow. (19.99 €)

- Acqlite: Free alternative to Acquisition (Free)

Good thing I ran into this thread. I completely forgot about Shiira (I was following development of that until I stopped using OS X) and Vienna (looks better than Endo :p). Thanks for the thread. I need to be re-updated with the latest applications for OS X.

You might want to add MT-NewsWatcher under Usenet clients. While it doesn't have the slick interface of Unison, it is free and has some features that Unison doesn't. A good companion to it is Osiris, which automates posting with either it or Thoth (another newsreader that has been discontinued, although it is still distributed as shareware).

I am waiting for uTorrent to hit the Mac Scene, but for now I am loving Transmission

you aren't the onl one waiting for utorrent...

Unfortunately, it appears that Acqlite has been discontinued in development. I read some comments and that was what is causing it not to connect. I forgot about Cabos though! That is also a great P2P application.

iStat Menus from iSlayer would be worth adding to the Menubar Extras section -

iStat menus lets you monitor your system right from the menubar. Included are 8 menu extras that let you monitor every aspect of your system.

Take a look at some of the features.

CPU - Monitor cpu usage. 7 display modes, multiple core support.

Memory - Monitor memory usage. 4 display modes, page ins/outs and swap usage display.

Disks - Monitor disk usage and activity. 6 display modes, ability to hide disks you dont want to see.

Network - Monitor current and total bandwidth, peak bandwidth, ip addresses . Ability to hide disks you dont want to see.

Temps - Monitor the temperature of your mac. 2 display modes, ability to hide sensors you dont want to see.

Fans - Monitor the fan speeds in your mac. 2 display modes, ability to hide sensors you dont want to see.

Bluetooth - Control bluetooth status plus monitor the battery level of your Apple wireless keyboard or mouse.

Date & Time - Date + time in your menubar. World clock display lets you see the time in multiple locations around the world.

Awesome :cool: Could you add some media players to the list? I mean media players along the lines of iTunes and windows media player which have library functions. I really don't like iTunes and Amarok (my player of choice) isn't for OSX until KDE4 comes out.

/me bookmarks for when my MBP arrives.

I think MPlayer/MPlayerOSX should probably be on there as a media player, I prefer it to VLC personally.

I used to use VLC myself until I discovered QuickTime 7 + the Perian plug-in. Now QuickTime can literally play just about every popular codec, from the obvious .mov to even .flv.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
