FOOOD Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) I have to add MySync Universal app syncs .Mac items like bookmarks, contacts, calendars, mail etc. without .Mac & for the time being it's free! (Keychain syncing doesn't work properly at the moment). Using it between my PowerMac & MacBook Pro at the moment :D Edited June 2, 2006 by FOOOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syphonic Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Just moved to mac and ditched Safari so soon? Why the switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DELETEMYACCOUNTTTTTTTT Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I'm really digging Webkit. While not completely separate from Safari, it does give dramatic improvements to Safari. Things like respecting css buttons and not putting in Aqua widgets into webpages when they don't fit is nice, as is the bump in speed over rendering with the default version of WEBKIT in Safari. My only caveat is that its wonky with Saft (read: it won't work) and other some other plugins for Safari. The only real thing in Saft I use is the session saver, and I seem to remember some other plugin that will hopefully work with Webkit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeHote Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Newsfire is a nice app, but I wish I could navigate sans mouse-clicking. It's aesthetically pleasing and love the way it shows the headlines. I still prefer it more than any other newsreader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bontakun Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Newsfire is a nice app, but I wish I could navigate sans mouse-clicking. It's aesthetically pleasing and love the way it shows the headlines. I still prefer it more than any other newsreader. using the keyboard works great for me, using the space bar to work through feeds and arrow keys to manually work through them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Neo Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I finally discovered QuickSilver the other day, amazing app launcher (that what I'm using it for, but it can do a lot more). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon2611 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I finally discovered QuickSilver the other day, amazing app launcher (that what I'm using it for, but it can do a lot more). I don't think i could use my mac without quicksilver :rofl: saves me so much time trying to locate the icon for programs :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosidius Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I dont use quicksilver, if I want to find a program I use spotlight. I tried quicksilver but I was meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeHote Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 blasphemy! Quicksilver is the God of all apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I dont use quicksilver, if I want to find a program I use spotlight. I tried quicksilver but I was meh. Spotlight isn't nearly as fast as QuickSilver is and because I use it to find other files too it isn't a very effective application launcher. I set QuickSilver to only monitor my Applications + Developer/Applications folder and some applications located elsewhere like the Finder and Software Update.

Sophism Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Transmission for torrent downloading, best client i have seen so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temple_treefrog Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) I've only had my Mac for two months, and these are the essential apps I use: AppZapper Confidently uninstall virtually any application. Azureus A powerful, full-featured, cross-platform bittorrent client. I tried Tomato Torrent, but I didn't like it. CandyBar The quickest and safest way to customize Mac OS X system replacement icons. Cabos Cabos is a Gnutella file sharing program based on LimeWire and Acquisition. Free and open source. iWorks '06 Pages can make stunning documents. Microsoft Messenger The Mac version of Windows Live Messenger. In universal. Microsoft Office 2004 I only use Word and Excel. StuffIt Expander Award-winning StuffIt Expander gives you access to virtually any file you download from the Internet or receive in your email. Expander is free. Pixadex Pixadex is to icons what Apple's iPhoto is to images. Quickly import, organize and search thousands of icons in seconds as well as export in standard desktop formats or iContainers. Overflow Application launcher that is an alternative to the Dock (although I use both). Also check out this thread for cool apps in Mac OS X.

.Neo Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 So is QuickSilver. I've set the hotkey to F1 which makes the window pop-up. After that you type in a few letters like "acr" for Adobe Acrobat Professional 8, or "xt" for Xtorrent and them simply hit [Enter] to execute.

GM_Axis Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 My list doesn't differ much from everyone elses except that I try to keep the programs I use a lot and depend on, as premium (and premium-looking) as possible. This means Cocoa, and now the only three programs in my commonly used arsenal--i.e. what's on my dock--are Firefox, Photoshop, and Limewire. I was recently introduced, through this forum, to Xtorrent and even though it's in public beta, I still pre-ordered it and all future versions. It's not only, by FAR, the best torrent application for the mac, it's also the best torrent application I've used, period. The search integration is actually useable and superior to searching for .torrents on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
