iTuneSEnabler 1.3 (Mac OS X)
WARNING! Do not buy - a rip off. 
Features looked good, but when I paid the shareware fee I never received an unlock code. I emailed the author a few times, but he ignored me. I have now given up. So beware: it's a rip-off. [alert admin]

MarsEdit 2.0.3 (Mac OS X)
Aaaagh! Why no WYSIWYG?? Would be perfect otherwise!
I've just spent a fruitless, frustrating morning researching a bunch of the blog editors on VersionTracker. It seems that no one app combines the ability both to edit with ease AND connect to blog services of your choice. Yes, I know you can edit stuff online, but I prefer the ease of use of good desktop software, and need the ability to work offline when a net connection is not available. MarsEdit has great connectivity and is the only program than will perform a 2-way sync with your blog (so you can edit either online or in MarsEdit). Other apps either take a copy of your blog if you're lucky, or don't offer any hosted blog service integration at all. (If I wanted an app to build my blog into a website, I'd choose RapidWeaver, which will handle the blog stuff well and give me a bunch of other goodies as well :) BUT - MarsEdit will ONLY edit raw HTML. Doh! I'm fluent in HTML, but I REALLY don't want to have to worry about it when blogging. I want to focus on my content. It does allow you to paste in some preset HTML tags, and define your own, but these things fall flat if you move beyond any basic formatting. Like using bulleted lists. I find it hard to believe that web-based editors provide better visual editing than a desktop app. If the developer would add these features (download RapidWeaver's free demo & add a blog entry if you want to see what I mean), it would be a perfect app. Meanwhile, it has to be a three.

PhotoBrowser 0.8 (Mac OS X)
Nice browser, but slow to render full size images. Shows non-hierarchical folder list, with small icons (unlike other freebie image browsers, which waste screen real estate showing huge folder icons). Back & forward buttons add a nice touch. The feature that puts this ahead of all other freebie image browsers is that thumbnails appear in main window. You can toggle the main window between thumbs & full size view and there's a nice metadata inspector which shows all your EXIF data. BUT, it does not auto rotate images when rendering full size (doh!), and offers no controls to rotate images, so portrait picture appear sideways. If the author could fix the rendering speed and auto-rotate images based on their metadata, this would be the perfect browser. [alert admin]

Stimulus 4.1 (Mac OS X)
Similar features to the FREE Footagehead. Although I personally would not use Footagehead, if you like this style of image browser, it's better than this. No hierarchical folder view; thumbnails don't appear in main window. When viewing full size images: doesn't auto rotate; doesn't auto zoom to fit into window (you must click button each session); shows some basic metadata (which seems almost pointless). No customisable toolbar...all in all very basic; not worth the shareware fee. There are better image browsers for free (Footagehead, PixelWalker, Photo Browser....) [alert admin]

PixelWalker 0.7.0b (Mac OS X)
Needs thumbnail rendering, but good potential
A good start, and looks like it could grow into the best of the various freebie image browsers. (I've just checked out a bunch of them, and this has the most potential. Finder-style column view for browsing, but <B>won't show thumbnails<B>, which is a BIG downside. Auto rotates & quick to render full size images. Folder browser takes up a lot of the top of the window, so portrait pictures appear too small, with lots of wasted real-estate. If it could incorporate the metadata display & thumbnail handling of Photo Browser it would be perfect. Remembers last folder/file visited between restarts, but doesn't remember toolbar customisation. No Cancel button on Preferences dialog. [alert admin]

Airfoil 2.0.7 (Mac OS X)
This worked a treat & allowed me to route the output of SRS iWow to my hifi via Airport. I'm now enjoying much-enhanced audio, and my sound system was no slouch to being with. Yes, there is a delay, but it's not a problem if you're simply looking to play music. There's some nice touches to the UI: automatically connect to a given target; hijack system audio (who needs HiJack? :-); link to system volume so you can control volume via routed apps or system controls. A well thought out app, well worth it if you want to patch in any audio enhancers to get the most out of your MP3/iTunes/etc. collection. [alert admin]

Secure Remote Disk 0.3.2 (Mac OS X)
I downloaded & installed MacFUSE, then installed Secure Remote Disk and hey presto: EZ UI for mounting remote volumes into the Finder. Sensisble advanced options allow you to set remot directory, a custom port and specify the use of key-based authentication. No documentation, however if you know enough to use this, chances are you won't need it :-) [alert admin]

ZipIt 2.2.2 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
I have used this for the last couple of years and found it to be reliable and stable. OK, the UI is a bit old, but no matter: I can quickly to look inside a ZIP archive and extract a few files without having to unzip the whole lot, so this little app fills a niche very well. It works fine over large archives with tens of thousands of files. In between this and OS X's ZIP UI, who needs Stuffit? [alert admin]

FolderSynchroziser has an Exact Sync option. The first time you sync two drives, it will ensure they match. After that, it will track changes, including deletions. (Remember to ensure the machines running the drives show the same time.) Much faster sync, easy to use. I now sync 2 machines, Windows network drive and iPod.
