“NoodleMac is home of the 9 Word Reviews for Mac software. Not too much, not too little.”
Think of AIR as a container to create and run mini applications in their own private windows, combining Flash, HTML, Javascript, and other so-called Web 2.0 tools. Like Java but without the power. Bascially, Adobe is creating their own private little space on your desktop.
Adobe AIR is a cross-operating system runtime that allows web application developers to use their existing web development skills (HTML, Javascript, Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, Ajax) to build and deploy rich Internet applications on the desktop.
9WR - Adobe AIR: Multimedia capable, cross-platform desktop environment to develop mini-applications.
A very favorite Dashboard Widget. Plenty of comic strip selections, one low price. Free.
Never miss your favorite strip anymore! More than 100 strips immediately available in your Dashboard, including all the most famous characters, like Dilbert, Peanuts, Doonesbury, Garfield, without launching your web browser and without waiting for slow and ad-crammed web pages.
9WR - freeComics: User friendly Widget displays over 100 daily comic strips.
Professional level application to create moving slide shows—movies from digital photos. Easy to use interface, intuitive controls. Pan and zoom across photos, add titles, export to QuickTime movies for use in iMovie.

Weather information stuffed into a Dock icon. Also does weather in a window, the Menubar, the Desktop. From the same developer who does Dashboard KickStart. Excellent.
WeatherDock 2 has added many features allowing you to display weather information the way you want it. The new features include a fully customizable icon, a desktop icon and a menu item.
9WR - WeatherDock: Free weather utility displays current conditions in the Dock.
One of my absolute favorite Mac photo enhancing utilities. If you’re bored by iPhoto and fearful of the dreaded Photoshop learning curve, then try point and click photo effects.
Funtastic Photos is a “non-permanent and easily reversible” photo editor for macintosh computers, with over 50 simple to use 1-Click Styles, an Advanced Effects engine, direct sharing via e-mail, Fun Cards, Cell Phone (inc. iPhone) and popular photo sharing sites (such as flickr, Facebook, Picasa & MobileMe).

To cooks what iPhoto is to photographs or iTunes is to your music. Not just a recipe collector. Does nutritional analysis, manages recipe clippings, plans meals. Look for updates to the MacGourmet Cookbook, Mealplan, and Nutrition modules, too. MacGourmet Deluxe is even more feature laden.
