Widget Watch: Interdimension Media releases MyTube
I haven’t used my Dashboard in a while. In fact – I hardly ever use the Dashboard at all. Still, sometimes a cool widget comes my way, and I like to pass it along. My Tube is such a widget. Interdimension Media has released this bad boy, and what it does is provide browsing, searching,…

In most text editors, you style your text with formatting tools. For example, you might select word, click the “bold” button to make it bold, and move it.

Do you want a Stumble Upon button for Safari? Me too.
I love Stumble Upon. It’s one of my favorite ways to surf the web. My biggest complaint about it is that I have to use Firefox for it. Now, don’t get me wrong, Firefox is great – but I find it really slows my Mac down (most likely because I have 100+ other windows open,…
Audio HiJack Pro – Record Anything
Last week I talked about Pulsar, a program that lets you listen to satellite radio via your desktop, without having to log into a clunky web interface. Turns out that Rogue Amoeba makes a lot of products, including Audio Hijack Pro, so I sent off an e-mail, and they sent me a free license so…
