Merry Christmas!

Software No Comments »

It definitely is the holiday season, in terms of the commercialism that has leeched itself to the Christmas celebration. Although nowhere as near significant and meaningful as the birth of The Christ, or the miracles of the oil for the lamps with Hannukah, MUPromo.com is offering all Mac OS X users two free gifts this gift giving season– Videobox and MainMenu.

And if you’re looking for the seasonal deal from MacUpdate, then you can also get a load of software for just $50! MUPromo.com states this has a retail value of $446.77.

  • DragThing 5.9.5
  • Speed Download 5.2.7
  • PCalc 3.5.1
  • Path Finder 5.5.6
  • iRip 1.4.1
  • GarageSale 5.3.7
  • Yep 2.0.6
  • Socialite 1.0.1
  • Radio Gaga 1.0.2
  • Machinarium 1.0.1
  • HealthNut 1.0.1

And if you’re one of the first 10,000 customers (currently at around ~9,000) you also get

  • PowerTunes 1.1.2
  • Flagit! 1.3.7
  • Holiday DVD Menu Template Super Bundle 1.0

Have fun! And don’t forget what Christmas is all about– not the commercialism, but God’s love.

Free Mac OS X software? Almost!

Software Recommendations No Comments »

If you’re in need of Mac OS X software, now is the time to purchase.  I’ve used MacPromo.com before (the Spring sale) and received a boatload of software for just $50 (well, $49.95 officially), and it was well worth it (I received Parallels 4.0, Tech Tools Pro, NetBarrier, et cetera, et cetera).

Now is your time to get the deal.  Although you won’t get Parallels, you will 12 fantastic security apps and utilities.  You’ll receive the following:

    1. TechTool Pro 5 (by Micromat) – System maintenance utilities
    2. Computrace LoJack (by Absolute) – Hardware recovery software in the event of theft.
    3. VirusBarrier X5 (by Intego) – Antivirus software for Mac OS X viruses
    4. NetBarrier X5 (by Intego) – Firewall config software (excellent app)
    5. FileGuard X5 (by Intego) – file level encryption
    6. Personal Backup X5 (by Intego) – backup / sync / file & volume recovery
    7. ContentBarrier X5 (by Intego) – Web-surfing software for children
    8. Personal Antispam X5 (by Intego) – email filter
    9. WebGhost (by Macware) – IP obfuscation
    10. Klix (by JoeSoft) – A image recovery program
    11. MyWallet (by MOApp) – password security app
    12. Spring Cleaning (Smith Micro) – hard drive optimization, duplicate file elimination

My personal opinion?  This is a steal and must have purchase!  Go for it!

Video Applications

Newbie Tips, Tools No Comments »

So far, I’ve found nothing better for video than HandBrake (with the VLC library).  In order to extract a clip (under fair use), this is a wonderful tool– you may want to get Squared 5 as well (I haven’t used it yet, but am in the middle of trying it out.

Enjoy, and if you have any suggestions, please let us know!
