Chopper Drone. Scary. But I want one for my iPhone
Normally, NoodleMac is all Mac. Today is an exception. Why? The Parrot AR Drone Wi-Fi Quad Helicopter. It works with the iPhone (sorta of like having a Mac in my pocket).
What’s In Your Wallet? Everything.
Times change. Apple moves on. Mac apps and utilities move on, too. But not all of them. The venerable Steel, an elegant password, login ID, and serial number database, has been discontinued. For the past few months I’ve been moving all my Steel data, and there’s about 10 years of data, to my Wallet.
Cocktail: do you want a utility you don’t need?
If you were to look at the applications and utilities on my Mac you would come to the conclusion that I’m a collector. There are a few hundred non-Apple, non-Adobe, non-Microsoft, 3rd party apps and utilities. Some I love but don’t use. Other utilities have hundreds of features but never get double-clicked. Cocktail is one such Mac utility.
Mac users go analog with Labels and Addresses
The digital age has permeated much of what we do. The last bastion of manual overload might be the postal service, which still carries letters and packages by hand. Paying homage to the 21st century, most of those labels and address where handled digitally. Your Mac makes the creation process easier, simpler, almost automatic with Labels & Addresses.

Why DragThing is the best Mac file launcher
For over 10 years I’ve tried every decent Mac application or file launcher under the sun. The best is James Thomson’s DragThing. It’s not even a contest as no other launcher comes close to the features, capability, usefulness, and ease-of-use found in DragThing. If the Mac’s Dock is making you wince, DragThing will make you smile.
