“Certified Mac Software” means I like it. Uh huh.

I don’t do this often but this is Certifiably Not Good Software™ for Mac users who don’t know better or who have issues. From the NoodleMac What Have You Done For Me Lately™ department comes AOL with an updated version of AIM (AOL Instant Messenger). I just don’t know why. Well into the 21st century AOL gets all retro, Microsoft style, and piles on more features on a product that still does less. Honestly, I thought AOL went out of business.
AIM for Mac supports AIM Expressions, AIM File Transfer and supports friendly names - no more hard-to-remember screen names. Connect with friends and family and keep track of status and presence updates in real time.
9WR - AIM for Mac: AOL’s Instant Messenger; chat, customize, send files, so 1999.
Plasq’s stunning update to Comic Life, Magiq lets you create a full color comic book using pictures from iPhoto. You have to see it to believe it.
We worked with a bunch of great designers and illustrators to include a collection of Templates, Props, Balloons and Spraycans. Your comics will help you tell any story.
9WR - Magiq: Use your own photos to create stunning comic books.
Backing up the data on your Mac is more critical than ever. Documents, movies, photos, music, and a few dozen apps and utilities make a healthy Mac essential. To eliminate the single point of failure, many Mac users opt for a second hard drive and a backup utility. I recommend two hard drives, Apple’s Time Machine for one, and SuperDuper! on the other. No other utility for a complete clone of your Mac’s hard drive is as easy, secure, or as thorough as SuperDuper!
SuperDuper is the wildly acclaimed program that makes recovery painless, because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. Its incredibly clear, friendly interface is understandable, easy to use, and SuperDuper’s built-in scheduler makes it trivial to back up automatically.
9WR - SuperDuper!: Easy, powerful utility to clone your Mac’s hard drive.
Major update to the only decent applications which turns your Mac into a voice mail and messaging system. PhoneValet answers your phone, and handles voice mail, just like expensive telephony systems. Now with a “live receptionist” feature to transfer calls, auto transfers calls, network dialing, and more.
PhoneValet: announce, answer, transfer and record calls, keep a searchable call history, call blocking, smart dialing, call logging.
9WR - PhoneValet: Answers phone, handles voice mail, records audio, logs calls.
