Staying on top of your to-do list is usually an uphill battle that doesn't
get any easier the busier you get. Using a simple organizational tool such as
Circus Ponies NoteBook can help you keep on top of tasks through a simple and
easy to use notebook format. As you enter entries into NoteBook, much as you
would in a real notebook, you can clip memos, add an attachment, check it or
add flags to remind you when it's due. Circus Ponies NoteBook uses a system
patented by the developer called "Multidex" which makes it easy to view all
of your to do tasks in a glance. You can view them all in one go, separately,
by category or by importance. You're encouraged at all times to give context
to your notes so that they mean a bit more than just "complete project
assignment". You can do this by uploading attachments or adding useful links
to the project in question. The big draw of Circus Ponies NoteBook is that it
uses a familiar notebook format and feel to make adding tasks easy. However,
the danger with this is that you end up scribbling things down randomly much
as you would with a real notebook and while there's less chance of getting
lost or confused with NoteBook, it's still less effective than using a more
conventional organizer. *If you're a born scribbler and are always losing
pieces of paper with reminders on, elegantly designed and intelligently
organized Circus Ponies NoteBook will definitely appeal to you.*Download

beaTunes 3.0.4-Clean up your iTunes collection
If you're looking for something a little bit more intuitive when it comes to
building playlists for iTunes and your iPod then you might be impressed with
that beaTunes can do. beaTunes works by analyzing the songs in your existing
iTunes library and then correcting discrepancies such as double entries,
incorrectly labeled songs and artists, misplaced genres and much more. When
you run the library inspector on startup, it will display the errors or
problems it has found and then ask you how many of them you'd like to
correct. In the trial version, you can't make any corrections but you can see
what's wrong with your collection. beaTunes can also auto organize playlists
by such things as genre, rating and even beats per minute. It could be
regarded as a virtual DJ although as with all apps like these, some of the
suggestions and mixes it will make will inevitably be a bit dodgy. beaTunes
goes beyond what you've got installed on your Mac though, and interacts with
both the iTunes store and Amazon database. This allows you to discover albums
related to your music that you might not have heard or just follow the Amazon
charts. The Amazon charts take a little while to load but you're presented
with a thumbnail of each album currently in it plus you can divide the charts
into genres too. beaTunes is a nice little application that could help clean
up your iTunes collection and introduce you to new music.Download *beaTunes

Firefox Final 6.0.1-Meet the very latest version of Firefox
*Firefox 6* is already here, only months after the release of version 5.
Mozilla seems to follow the same strategy as Google does with *Chrome*,
creating different development channels to release early versions of their
browser as soon as they're available and keep the final one updated as
often as possible. The most outstanding improvement in Firefox 6 is *speed*.
The new Firefox is noticeably faster when loading web pages and, according to
Mozilla, also lighter on RAM memory. In terms of design and appearance,
however, Firefox 6 doesn't change that much from the previous version. The
interface is pretty much the same as Firefox 5, with a minimalist toolbar and
a big orange button on the top left corner to access the program's menus.
Besides those visible changes, Firefox 6 also includes a few interesting
enhancements under the hood: the web browser engine supports *CSS animations*
and has also improved support for *HTML 5*, XHR, MathML and others. The
JavaScript, memory and networking performance have also been optimized, and
spell checking has been improved for some languages. Other remarkable new
features in Firefox 6 are the new option in the Privacy menu to *opt out of
tracking* by advertising networks and other websites, and the Firefox Sync
utility to backup and synchronize browser data across all your computers.
*Firefox 6 features optimized support for HTML5 and CSS animations, new

StarCraft 2 Wings of Liberty 1.3.4 18701-Epic real time strategy game
*StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty* is an excellent real-time strategy game
(RTS), which combines an excellent single player mode and a unique
multiplayer experience. Developed by Blizzard, StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty
is split into three installments: the first game with the subtitle Wings of
Liberty and two expansion packs: Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void.
StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty is high on realism and works in two game modes:
single and multiplayer. There are various missions in StarCraft 2. You take
command of a huge number of armies that are battling for supremacy and power.
Your task is to give orders to your units and manage the battlefield. Every
action, decision and strategy can affect and radically change the dynamics of
the game which is what makes Starcraft 2 such an intense and absorbing game.
The online multiplayer mode of StarCraft 2 is heavily populated with players
who you can talk to via live chat. Technically, Starcraft 2 has very good
graphics although this is one area that could have been improved. However,
the attention to detail is superb and most importantly, the gameplay is very
addictive. Download *StarCraft 2 Wings of Liberty 1.3.4 18701* in Softonic

Glims for Safari 1.0 Beta 30-Add extra features to Safari
The Glims plugin was built to add a few more extra features to your Safari
browser. It will essentially expand the functionalities of the browser's
search tool, like adding a thumbnail next to search results or adding the
search engine name in the search box. Glims comes with a large list of search
engines, which you can rearrange at will and select from a drop down in the
search box. It includes less conventional search engines like Facebook, MTV
or Expedia among other more known choices. Glims will also allow you to
display link and search word suggestions. These will appear in a black bubble
under your search box. I quite liked this tool and found it very useful. The
thumbnail feature was the only one not to work properly, as not only did I
find that it slowed my browser, but the thumbnails themselves did not display
properly. *Find the search feature in Safari a little dull? Glims should

Google Chrome Stable 13.0.782.218-Google's super fast web browser
*Google Chrome* is a Mac web browser that lets you surf the web in comfort at
high speeds. The first thing we noticed about Google Chrome is that it's
unbelievably lightweight. While Firefox was consuming anything from an
average of 20-30% of a Mac's CPU, Chrome barely registered on the scale,
occasionally touching 1%. For anyone plagued with Firefox memory leaks and
crashes, this alone is surely going to be a compelling reason to give Chrome
a go. As you'd expect, Google Chrome also features *tabbed browsing*, which
visually, is more attractive than Firefox which tends to cram them together
somewhat. Extensions and bookmarking (including syncing across machines) are
included, as is Adobe Flash. Chrome for Mac only works on Intel Macs and you
might find that some add-ons that you used with previous browsers aren't
available for it yet. This is rapidly changing however and most popular
add-ons are now available on Chrome. Perhaps most importantly, Google Chrome
is extremely quick. Surfing the Softonic site, page-loads took less then a
second and all images were loaded very quickly. YouTube in particular loaded
with lightening speed. Overall, the handling of sites using JavaScript in
particular is mightily impressive and this has been made even better with the
implementation of a V8 Crankshaft. Its also nice to know that with Google
Chrome, even if there is a problem with one of your tabs, that it won't crash
the whole browser - just the tab itself. However, sandboxing of Flash still
isn't available in the Mac version, even though it is on Windows. The final
version ensures that you'll be able to synchronize not only bookmarks across
multiple computers, but also browser preferences - including themes, homepage
and startup settings, web content settings, preferred languages, and even
page zoom settings. Meanwhile, you can also enable each extension to work in
incognito mode through the extensions manager. *With thousands of extensions,
super fast browsing and all the intelligence and slickness you expect from a
Google product, Chrome delivers an excellent browsing experience.*.Download

Playback 1.8.1-Stream media from your Mac to PS3 or Xbox 360
*Playback* is an easy-to-use tool that allows you to share media on your Mac
with any Playstation 3, Xbox 360 or other UPnP compatible device. Playback
integrates with major media applications such as iTunes, iPhoto, Aperture,
Adobe Lightroom, Photobooth, EyeTV, and more, meaning all you have to do is
select what you want to share. Playback also allows you to control the amount
of data being transferred to your devices via a handy bandwidth throttle that
ensures you can surf and transfer data at the same time comfortably. Playback
also prides itself on being particularly fast due to the nginx server. Nginx
delivers high performance transfer rates, stability and simple configuration
which is why its favored by sites such as WordPress, Hulu and SourceForge.
Finally, another bonus is that Playback supports HD MKV files so no
transcoding is required. However, some Matroska formats are not supported
meaning that you have to sit through painfully long transcoding processes
before playing certain media. *Overall, Playback is an excellent streaming
app for Macs to PS3s and Xbox 360s. Combined with an application such as
XBMC, it offers a superb home entertainment setup system.*Download *Playback

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City GTA: Vice City 1.0-Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for Mac
*Grand Theft Auto: Vice City* sees the hugely successful Grand Theft Auto
series take a step back in time to 1980's. As usual, your aim is to tackle
the criminal underworld as you battle through the urban sprawl of Vice City
which is loosely based on Miami in the mid-eighties. Along the way, the
action can take place anywhere from the beach and swamps to downtown ghettos.
The gameplay retains the classic non-linear style with a character driven
narrative after you arrive in Vice City with little more than the shirt on
your back. If you loved Grand Theft Auto III then you'll probably be blown
away by Vice City which amazes with it's depth, quality and graphics. It's
basically an extension of GTA III but has more features such as soundtracks,
voice overs, weapons and vehicles (including sea planes). Like the former
however, some of the elements are adult so it's not for children - you must
be at least 17 years old to download this game. The stories and missions are
more complex than GTA III and there are more real life elements. Triggering
police chases is one of the most exciting elements which is more subtle than
in GTA III. Running a red light won't do it but if you cause a bit too much
mayhem on the streets, they'll hunt you down in seconds. *Grand Theft Auto:

Airfoil 4.5.7-Send audio via WiFi
Airfoil is one of those standout applications you come across sometimes. What
it does is allow you to send any audio from your computer via wireless to any
other computer (PC or Mac), Apple TV or Airport Express. It works with any
application that plays music in your computer. Syncing is both easy and fast.
The clear GUI will list up all the devices that you can sync to, and all you
have to do is activate them and set the volume and equalizer. That means you
can pretty much listen to your music anywhere. Rogue Amoeba have really
succeeded in making a program which is efficient, useful and very easy to
use. The download also includes Airfoil Speakers, which basically turns any
PC or Mac into an Airport Express unit which can then receive audio from the
Airfoil of another computer. On the help side, the Rogue Amoeba team is known
to offer great support and respond quickly to user queries. Naturally though,
if your wireless connection is poor, then Airfoil will perform poorly, so
make sure your WiFi is well set. Airfoil is a smart and intuitive program, to
sync music wirelessly to any computer, Airport Express or Apple TV.Download

application. SMARTReporter sits in your *Menu Bar* and displays the current
state of your hard drive. SMARTReporter supports ATA, SATA or eSATA hard disk
drives although FireWire hard drives aren't supported. However, it should be
noted that *SMARTReporter is not a fail safe measure* against any kind of

ScreenSteps 2.9.1-Make step-by-step video tutorials
They say a picture paints a thousand words and ScreenSteps attempts to make
building tutorial videos as easy and logical as possible. Straight from the
start, ScreenSteps guides you through the essential procesures you need to
take in order to build your tutorials. ScreenSteps presents you with a main
menu, linking to online tutorials that help you get to grips with it. I'd
highly recommend taking these first as it can be a rather tricky app to work
out on your own. The recording process takes the format of a record, capture
and annotate system that allows you to build up a tutorial logically and
clearly. The aim, of course, is to keep the words to a minimum since the
screen-grabs are supposed to tell the story. Once you've completed it,
ScreenSteps lets you export to a wide variety of formats including HTML, XML
and PDF. You can even post directly to blogs and wikis such as WordPress,
Movable Type, TypePad, MindTouch and Confluence. The whole process is
supposed to take around 5 to 10 minutes, although much depends on the
complexity of the tutorial you are building. While it's a fairly simple app,
you'd be unwise to use it without taking the tutorials first as grabbing
screen shots can be particularly awkward at times. ScreenSteps is a decent
attempt at creating a way of building graphical tutorials that can explain
how to do something far better than a lengthy manual.Download *ScreenSteps

him cyborg like powers of sight (check out The Eyeborg Documentary for the
backdrop to this). Like the Mass Effect series, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is
an 'immersive simulation', with a wonderfully realized world full of people
to interact with, where player choice is instrumental in the storyline. The
great thing about the game is that you really can play how you like, and you
aren't punished for changing your mind. Deus Ex: Human Revolution can be
played stealthily, or aggressively, and you can mix up your style as you feel
fit. Your actions and words have an effect on how the story plays out, which
not only feels great when you're playing but gives the game plenty of replay
value. The gameplay in Deus Ex: Human Revolution is excellent. While the
controls may take a while to get used to, they work really well. In
fire-fights, shooting and cover are excellent, while the up-close kills that
Adam Jensen preforms are suitably gruesome. The world of Deus Ex: Human
Revolution is stylish, and characters are well acted and animated. The only
major criticisms of the game are that the boss fights are disappointing, and
there are some pretty long load times as well. Despite this, it is still
hugely enjoyable and immersive. Note that although Deus Ex is not available
for Mac, you can still play it online using *OnLive*. And even better, if you
buy the boxed PC version or know a friend that's bought the boxed PC version,
*the game includes a free coupon to play Deus Ex online using OnLive* so it
won't cost you a thing. Note this offer only applies to boxed versions - it
does not apply to digital downloads or console versions of Deus Ex. *Deus Ex:

TrailRunner 3.7 v659-Excellent running and hiking planner
Don't be fooled by the name - TrailRunner caters for more than those who just
fancy a jog with a difference. TrailRunner is well thought-out and crafted
application for anyone who's on the move whether hiking, running cycling or
looking for directions. The aim of TrailRunner is to be the exercise partner
you've always dreamed of. TrailRunner can calculate a route for any specified
distance in the world and export the directions onto your iPod. Maps can be
exported to your mobile device as NanoMaps. TrailRunner integrates with
Ascent and Garmin Training Center, although some users have reported that it
slows down the latter considerably. Whichever device you use, the TrailRunner
guide will give you detailed instructions along the way so that you can stick
to your route and concentrate on your running or hiking. TrailRunner uses
Microsoft Virtual Earth to plot and find routes, which isn't quite as
detailed as Google Earth but it should suffice for most major locations.
After your trip is over, TrailRunner doesn't stop there. You can fill in a
diary of your trip, create an exercise plan, and even share the ground you've
covered on GPSies.com. There's also a calendar for you to schedule training,
and walks to help you stick to your walking and running plans. TrailRunner is
an ideal application for anyone who has an iPod or Garmin device and wants to
get more out of their jogs, hikes and walks.Download *TrailRunner 3.7 v659*

1Password 3.8.2-The ultimate password manager
Keychain on Mac does a pretty good job of managing passwords but once you've
tried 1Password you'll probably never look back. If you're tired of making up
passwords to access sites or worried that your passwords are not secure
enough, it really is invaluable. 1Password creates strong, unique passwords
for you, then remembers and restores them all within your web browser. At
first glance, you may be concerned by the potential security risks of having
one program manage all your passwords, but the number of users that rely and
praise this program illustrates that you have little to worry about. Using
1Password is very simple. On startup you have to configure one master
password, which should be as tough as possible. After that, 1Password detects
when you are visiting sites that require passwords and stores them
automatically. You can set up time locks so that your Mac is protected while
you're away from it and even synchronize it with your iPhone, .Mac account
and Palm devices, although it doesn't work with other mobile phones. If you
encounter any problems, the developer is also widely praised for their swift
response time although I had problems accessing some of their online
tutorials. *1Password is a powerful and effective application to manage all
your passwords from one place. Highly recommended to protect your identity on
the web.*Download *1Password 3.8.2* in Softonic

Cocktail 5.0-Excellent all-purpose maintenance utility for Mac
Ask anyone who's used a Mac for a long period of time and they'll tell you
that Cocktail still remains one of the best all round admin tools out there.
Cocktail can do all your essential maintenance tasks from clearing your cache
to controlling sleep times. There's nothing new in Cocktail that you can't do
in Terminal but Cocktail makes it so much easier through its GUI. Many of
it's functions and tweaks will remain a mystery to basic users though -
options such as whether to switch on or switch of journaling and the network
options are aimed more at power users. Nevertheless, for those that want more
control over how their dock works, their startup sequence and other OS
interface related issues, Cocktail gives you immense control. The Interface
options are perhaps the most useful allowing you to select a range of
different features such as Finder, Safari and Mail and tweak them to your own
liking. Some users will complain that what Cocktail does for a modest fee,
other apps do for nothing but as an all round system maintenance tool,
especially for power users, it's one of the best out there.Download *Cocktail

Data Rescue 3.2.1-Emergency hard drive recovery for Macs
Have you got a corrupt hard drive or one that no longer mounts? Do you need
to recover files that have been deleted? If so, *Data Rescue* 3 may be able
to help. Data Rescue allows you to rescue a damaged hard drive and backup the
recovered files to either an *internal or external hard drive* (USB or
FireWire), *removable media device* (such as a Zip or MO) or a *networked
drive*. ??Alternatively, an *optional emergency bootable DVD option* is
available. Data Rescue can recover any type of file and can even work if a
drive only partially operates. It could be especially useful if you need to
*recover digital pictures* from a camera memory card even after it has been
erased or reformatted. The interface of Data Rescue is very easy to use and
well designed. It takes you through three steps - *drive selection, analysis
and recovery*. You can *preview files before recovery* which is useful since
it stops you having to go through the time consuming process of recovery if
the files aren't the correct ones you want to recover. However, although Data
Rescue's developers make some bold claims about how much it can recover, you
may find it's far from perfect and won't be able to help in all

Sandvox 2.1.8-Straightforward but inflexible website designer
If you want to create a website but don't have any web designing experience,
then *Sandvox* may be your answer. Sandvox uses a WYSIWYG style interface
that allows you to drag and drop elements into the site and there are more
than 40 original and diverse designs to choose from. Although Sandvox will
feel a little childish for a professional web designer, there is a surprising
number of advanced features under the hood which make it suitable for all
levels. For instance, you can edit raw HTML to fine-tune the site to your
liking and the Professional edition also lets you add e-commerce elements,
Flash and Google Webmaster tools. The designs are a bit limiting but, as
mentioned above, you can change them to a large extent by recoding the HTML.
Alternatively, you can purchase some third-party designs. However, the
biggest drawback of Sandvox is when it comes to publishing to the web. It
should be easy to connect to an FTP server but unfortunately Sandvox doesn't
make it so despite the detailed guide on how to do so. In addition, although
the drag and drop interface is very easy to use, it can be very inflexible,
pushing elements all over the place and becoming quite frustrating at times.

Firefox 6.0.1 Final-Meet the new Firefox
*Firefox 6* is already here, only months after the release of version 5.
Mozilla seems to follow the same strategy as Google does with *Chrome*,
creating different development channels to release early versions of their
browser as soon as they're available and keep the final one updated as
often as possible. The most outstanding improvement in Firefox 6 is *speed*.
The new Firefox is noticeably faster when loading web pages and, according to
Mozilla, also lighter on RAM memory. In terms of design and appearance,
however, Firefox 6 doesn't change that much from the previous version. The
interface is pretty much the same as Firefox 5, with a minimalist toolbar and
a big orange button on the top left corner to access the program's menus.
Besides those visible changes, Firefox 6 also includes a few interesting
enhancements under the hood: the web browser engine supports *CSS animations*
and has also improved support for *HTML 5*, XHR, MathML and others. The
JavaScript, memory and networking performance have also been optimized, and
spell checking has been improved for some languages. Other remarkable new
features in Firefox 6 are the new option in the Privacy menu to *opt out of
tracking* by advertising networks and other websites, and the Firefox Sync
utility to backup and synchronize browser data across all your computers.

*Google Chrome* has managed to evolve a lot in its most recent versions,
while keeping the same minimalist design we all have grown to love. It

Chrome 11 is the latest addition to Google Chrome's stable channel. Besides
the features we already knew from previous versions, such as the *download

other great new functions based on user feedback. One of the most
eye-catching new features in Google Chrome 11 is support to recognize *speech
input through HTML*. In certain circumstances, like when you're using Google
Translate, you'll be able to actually speak to your browser and have your
words translated and spoken back to you. Chrome's *sandboxing technology*
has been extended to the built-in Flash Player, thus increasing your safety
while browsing the web. Also, Chrome now lets you sync passwords across
computers – a great feature for those of you who are constantly switching
between different computers. Google Chrome maintains the same impressive
usability and ease of use. With *zero learning curve*, you immediately feel
in your element and there's no need to start testing new shortcuts or reading
the documentation. So if you're considering making the switch from old
favorites like Firefox or Internet Explorer, Google Chrome is definitely an
excellent choice for a new web browser. *Google Chrome, Google's browser,

ScreenSteps 2.9.1-Make step-by-step video tutorials
They say a picture paints a thousand words and ScreenSteps attempts to make
building tutorial videos as easy and logical as possible. Straight from the
start, ScreenSteps guides you through the essential procesures you need to
take in order to build your tutorials. ScreenSteps presents you with a main
menu, linking to online tutorials that help you get to grips with it. I'd
highly recommend taking these first as it can be a rather tricky app to work
out on your own. The recording process takes the format of a record, capture
and annotate system that allows you to build up a tutorial logically and
clearly. The aim, of course, is to keep the words to a minimum since the
screen-grabs are supposed to tell the story. Once you've completed it,
ScreenSteps lets you export to a wide variety of formats including HTML, XML
and PDF. You can even post directly to blogs and wikis such as WordPress,
Movable Type, TypePad, MindTouch and Confluence. The whole process is
supposed to take around 5 to 10 minutes, although much depends on the
complexity of the tutorial you are building. While it's a fairly simple app,
you'd be unwise to use it without taking the tutorials first as grabbing
screen shots can be particularly awkward at times. ScreenSteps is a decent
attempt at creating a way of building graphical tutorials that can explain
how to do something far better than a lengthy manual.Download *ScreenSteps

DiskSavvy 3.2.16 Free-Detect occupied space on your disks
*DiskSavvy* is an easy, nicely designed *disk analyzing tool* that tells you
exactly how space is distributed among files and folders. Though this free
version of DiskSavvy is a bit limited for our taste, it's perfectly fine
for a quick disk analysis. It works with local drives, as well as networked
shared drives and NAS storage devices, and provides you with a general
overview of the files and folders that are taking up most of your disk space.
The scans in DiskSavvy are surprisingly quick and can be tweaked to exclude
or include certain folders or file types based on advanced filters. The
analysis results are displayed right on DiskSavvy's interface and you can
classify them according to different criteria. They can also be viewed as
charts and exported as a report in different formats. Summing up, DiskSavvy
is a fast, neat disk analyzer that helps you spot the largest folders on your
hard drive. But if you need extra features, you'll need to upgrade to the
Pro version or look somewhere else. *DiskSavvy analyzes your hard drive and
provides you with an in-depth overview about disk space and data
distribution.*Download *DiskSavvy 3.2.16 Free* in Softonic

Advanced SystemCare 4.1.0-Analyze, fix and optimize your system
*Advanced SystemCare* is a free, simple *system optimizer* that fixes the
most common computer problems, such as Registry broken keys, hijacked
settings, a fragmented hard drive or junk files taking too much space.
Advanced SystemCare also includes *security tools* that can detect and remove
*spyware*, as well as prevent any other undesirable elements from entering
your system. The interface in Advanced SystemCare can be a bit confusing at
first. Instead of having a standard toolbar or menu system, the program shows
a sphere structure on the left side pane that gives you access to the four
main sections: *Home*, which is a summary of the program's usage stats;
*Maintain Windows* and *Diagnose System*, which contain Advanced SystemCare's
main tools to scan, repair and optimize the computer; and finally
*Utilities*, a pack of small system tools that let you perform small fixing
tasks, like defragging the hard drive, backing up drivers, finding duplicate
files or finding out which programs are set up to run with Windows. Advanced
SystemCare is surprisingly quick. It hardly takes a few minutes to scan and
fix your system, though it may take a bit longer when defragmenting the disk.
In any case, Advanced SystemCare always creates a *backup copy* before fixing
anything (as well as a restoration point the very first time you launch it)
just to be on the safe side. *Advanced SystemCare is an easy-to-use, quick
system analyzer and optimizer that fixes the most common computer problems

FotoMix 8.5.5-Simple photo editor for creating composite images
*FotoMix* helps you create original photo compositions by adding people from
another picture onto a different background. This is usually a trick for
Photoshop experts, but now with FotoMix you can also create that illusion,
even if you have no idea about how to use Adobe's editor. The program has
been especially designed to help you achieve this effect in the easiest way
possible. FotoMix features a simple interface divided into several tabs, each
for a specific purpose: select background image, select foreground image,
create a composition with them and add up some final touches. Using FotoMix
is really simple: all you have to do is select the background image, the
foreground person or object you want to use and apply one onto the other.
Then simply erase the redundant background in the Composition tab, and polish
the result in the Touch up tab. The resulting image can be embellished with a
frame and saved in several different graphic formats. FotoMix is a handy tool
for photo composition that doesn't require any graphic editing skills. On the
downside, more advanced users will find it annoyingly limited: the tools are
too basic, and there's no undo function when you're mixing the foreground
and background images. *FotoMix is an easy-to-use photo editor that lets you
create image compositions without any editing skills.*Download *FotoMix

FileZilla Portable 3.5.1-Take your favorite FTP client anywhere
FileZilla has become one of the most popular FTP clients on the net and with
good reason - it's fast, reliable and packed with lots of cool features. Now
things just got better with the introduction of FileZilla Portable, a version
that you can take anywhere - superb for web administrators of all abilities
and backgrounds. Like it's bigger brother, FileZilla Portable supports the
resuming of downloads and uploads, detects when a connection has timed out
and features support for firewalls, SFTP, SSL and more. Best of all, it's
retained the drag and drop functionality of the original too so it's easy
enough for use for anyone not familiar with FTP clients. The interface and
preferences in FileZilla Portable are a bit limited but you can see at a
glance all of your transfers. It also includes a handy "Quickconnect"
function which basically allows you to reconnect to your most frequent FTP
sites instantly. You'll also be impressed by the general speed of FileZilla
Portable although it does tend to drop connections as a security timeout
feature which can be annoying. You can also set limits on how much of your
bandwidth FileZilla Portable uses if you're worried about it hogging it.

*K-Lite Codec Pack* includes all the *codecs* you need to have on your system
if you want to play all audio and video formats without any problems.
Sometimes when you try to *play music or a movie* in your computer, you may
find that either the image or the sound are not being properly played. These
issues are probably a question of codecs, and you can solve them all with
K-Lite Codec Pack. The full package includes quite a bunch of codecs, but the
good thing is that *you can choose which ones to install* and which ones to
leave out during the installation process. Besides codecs, the K-Lite Codec
Pack also includes several *utilities* that can come in very handy when
dealing with audio and video files. Among others, you'll find tools in the
K-Lite Codec Pack to tweak and fix codecs, work with subtitles and obtain
detailed information about any selected media file. The only drawback I could
point out about K-Lite Codec Pack is that it all may seem confusing for the
novice user who doesn't really know what a codec is, and therefore can't
really choose which ones to install. My advice here is to simply install the
complete K-Lite Codec Pack: it's the only way to make sure you'll be able to

beaTunes 3.0.4-Clean up your iTunes collection
If you're looking for something a little bit more intuitive when it comes to
building playlists for iTunes and your iPod then you might be impressed with
that beaTunes can do. beaTunes works by analyzing the songs in your existing
iTunes library and then correcting discrepancies such as double entries,
incorrectly labeled songs and artists, misplaced genres and much more. When
you run the library inspector on startup, it will display the errors or
problems it has found and then ask you how many of them you'd like to
correct. In the trial version, you can't make any corrections but you can see
what's wrong with your collection. beaTunes can also auto organize playlists
by such things as genre, rating and even beats per minute. It could be
regarded as a virtual DJ although as with all apps like these, some of the
suggestions and mixes it will make will inevitably be a bit dodgy. beaTunes
goes beyond what you've got installed on your Mac though, and interacts with
both the iTunes store and Amazon database. This allows you to discover albums
related to your music that you might not have heard or just follow the Amazon
charts. The Amazon charts take a little while to load but you're presented
with a thumbnail of each album currently in it plus you can divide the charts
into genres too. beaTunes is a nice little application that could help clean
up your iTunes collection and introduce you to new music.Download *beaTunes
