Save Time With TextExpander for Mac
Jun 16th
Do you like saving time? Do you find yourself typing the same thing over and over again on a daily basis? Why not try TextExpander for Mac? TextExpander is a Mac application which allows you to give it some text that you routinely type and then set an abbreviation for the text. For example, say I always type “CPAley’s Tech Blog”. I could set it so that when I type bblog it automatically takes bblog and replaces it with “CPAley’s Tech Blog”.
TextExpander has to be one of the best productivity apps out there. It’s more of a tool than an More >
Review: ScreenGrab for Mac
May 19th
Do you like to take screenshots? What do you do with the screenshot after you take it? Do they just sit there on your desktop feeling all lonely and unused? Why don’t you share them!
That’s where ScreenGrab for Mac comes in. ScreenGrab has something a little different from the built-in screenshot taking keyboard shortcut in Mac OS X.What makes ScreenGrab different is that it gives you the option to have your screenshots automatically named and uploaded to your website via FTP.
ScreenGrab has other nice features including automatically shortening the url of the image, open in web browser after upload, delete local More >
5 Must-Have Free Mac Apps
Mar 18th
Are you in search for some great applications for your Mac? You’ve come to the right place! In this post I am going to be going over five of my favorite applications for the Mac.
TweetDeck is by far the best Twitter client for the Mac. Even If you don’t have a Mac, you can still use TweeTdeck because it runs on Adobe Air, meaning it can be ran on Mac, PC, and Linux machines. In addition to twitter, TweetDeck also supports Facebook, Myspace and LinkedIn. TweetDeck auto-refreshes for you so you don’t to hit that little refresh button every More >
Fully Delete Apps Off Your Mac With AppDelete
Mar 8th
One thing that OS X is missing is a solid and simple way of removing applications, screensavers, plugins, widgets, and preference panes. AppDelete fixes this. When you open AppDelete, you are greeted with a simple trash can on a gray background. Thats it. Except for a few menu items at the top of the window. If you are a neat-freak Mac user or just trying to save some space on your hard drive, this is an app for you. AppDelete is also great for if you’re like me and test out a lot of applications on a regular basis and More >
Switching Over to OS X
Feb 23rd
Yes, I switched over to OS X! Last Sunday I walked over to my local Apple store and bought the 2.53Ghz Mac mini. 4GB of RAM. 320GB hard drive. After using it for a few days, I LOVE IT! It’s great! Fast, small, and elegant, I love the Mac mini.
This is just a short and quick post. I just wanted to announce to everyone that I am now a Mac. Do you know of any good Mac apps that I should download? I have been testing out a few and will be doing some reviews on them later.

iRip Saved My Life
Feb 23rd
Have you ever had a computer break and lost all your iTunes? The other day, this happened to me. My computer would not turn on. After tinkering with it for a few minutes, trying to turn it on, nothing happened. When I bought a new computer, I suddenly realized that something was missing. My iTunes. Probably some of the most valuable data on my computer. Gone. Luckily, I had all my iTunes music on my iPhone. After doing a little searching, I ran across an application called iRip by The Little App Factory. I read about it a little more, More >
Late 2009 Apple predictions
Sep 27th
We all know that some time soon Apple is going to hold an event and update its product line for the holiday season. Here are some of the updates that I expect Apple to make at the predicted event.
1. Updated Macbooks and Macbook Pros
I expect Apple to keep the $999.99 base price on the white Macbooks but make some great changes. Starting with design; I expect apple to give the Macbook some new colors and maybe a newer design. I also expect a built-in battery with higher battery life and possibly a FireWire 800 port.
For the Macbook Pros I expect only a price More >
