Why isn't it required?

Would you also happen to know what application I can use to compile and run Java (for university)? On Windows I would use EditPlus.

Read this and this. (Note the second article is about Linux, but applies to Mac OS X as the Darwin kernel is quite similar to the Linux kernel.)

I don't listen to music as much on iTunes anymore but I think with the OpenCourseWear its my #1 app.

1. iTunes (see above)

2. rSync

3. Webkit

4. DragonBurn

5. Devonthink

6. AppCleaner

7. MPlayer OSX

8. Himmel Bar

9. Textpander

10. CombinePDFs

There's a few apps I'd like to list, but they run too slow on my G5. I've got to get around to using Quicksilver though I've been saying that for the last year. :(

I've not seen it listed, but I really like AppFresh - http://metaquark.de/appfresh/ - it keeps all of your apps up to date.

Would anyone know of another VNC client, other than Chicken of the VNC. It just doesn't seem to work as well as Windows VNC clients for some reason.

Cyberduck is the best FTP app, but also likes to crash a fair bit.

Been using this. Really nice app.

i agree - doesn't crash that much for me though - have you seen flow? looks real nice, not gonna be free i'm guessing

i tried out appfresh at one time - the listings for updates of some apps are wrong, it kept saying there were updates for say jetclock when there actually weren't any, so i just uninstalled it - most apps are self checking anyways

This thread dates back from 2005 and thus I'm closing it as it's getting cluttered at the top of the forum.

There's already a similar software thread stickied at the top, so feel free to post your favorite applications in that thread if needed. This will also make it easier for me to update the index of software where it's all in one thread.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • The better these AI models get, the more this is going to happen. It's gonna turn into government versus government in regards to using proprietary and unavailable security research models to basically find flaws and vulnerabilities in other governments or companies systems. It's basically turning into a cybersecurity arms race. This is actually a good thing. The better AI gets, the more restricted and expensive it's going to become, making it far less mainstream. This is good 👍
    • Crazy. The government fired everyone who was capable of actually understanding this. More security theater. Just checked it is gone from Claude.
    • bring trump to the board, then apple will have some innovation to talk about

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm
