“Certified Mac Software” means I like it. Uh huh.
Yes, Virgina, there are other browsers besides IE, Firefox, and Safari. Here’s the latest not-very-popular but competent and attractive browser from Alexander Clauss. I like the error protocol which identifies sites with crummy HTML. Free and Pro version:
Certainly, iCab has much more features than you can examine in one day. Try it once, and you will see it has addressed all your needs, and iCab can grow with you, to fully meet your personal tastes and preferences -with much wider choices and options than any other browser!
9WR - iCab: Unique web browser, quirky features, granular controls, crazy tabs.
The best CSS editor for Mac users. The live preview feature is worth the price of entry alone. The only thing missing is a text editor.
CSSEdit makes editing stylesheets easy and intuitive. With features like live inline previewing of styles and a unique grouping system, it offers a lot of punch in a low-cost package. Other features include CSS grabbing from other sites, favorites for often-used styles and font sets, etc.
9WR - CSSEdit: CSS Editor, code validation, live preview, live site grabbing.
Essential utility to play Windows Media Video in Safari via plugin and System Preference Pane. Pro version available for money.
With the Windows Media Components for QuickTime by Flip4Mac, you can play Windows Media files (.wma and .wmv) in QuickTime Player and view Windows Media content on the Internet using a web browser. The Windows Media Components for QuickTime have been highly optimized and support playback of Windows Media HD.

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). Funtastic Photos features a creative print layouts system, with awe-inspring projects, including photo mosaics, greeting cards, photo cubes, mini photos books and more.
9WR - Funtastic Photos: One-click, non-destructive photo effects editor, popular online photo sharing.

Major update of the rather clever utility for people on the move. Literally. Plans routes with maps, graphs, locations, and calculates distance. Check the ancient Mac360 review. Watch runner and hiker routes in Google Earth. Includes diary, and MobileMe export.
TrailRunner is a route planning software for all kinds of long distance sports like running, biking, hiking, inline-skating, skiing and more.
9WR - Trail Runner: Route planning for runners, bikers; maps, diary, exercise plan.
Good way to delete all the accompanying files created by an application you want to delete. Crowded field of utilities. CleanApp was our favorite, though new version has been buggy. AppZapper has a nice interface and best sound effects. AppDelete, like AppCleaner, is free.
AppCleaner is a small application which allows you to completely and properly uninstall unwanted apps. It isn’t, in fact, sufficient to just delete an application. Installing an application distributes many files throughout your System using space of your Hard Drive unnecessarily. AppCleaner can find all these small files and safely delete them.
9WR - AppCleaner: Utility deletes application and other associated files and preferences.
