An absolute must have for Mac users (though no longer free). PTHPasteboard Pro remembers what you copy, saves it, makes it easy to copy again with a single click. Pro version syncs multiple Macs.
How often have you copied something only to find that you need it a few minutes later but you’ve already copied another item? PTHPasteboard watches you while you work and keeps a copy of any items that you have copied to your pasteboard.

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.
Major update to the specialized utility that renames large numbers of files with drag, drop, click. Renames file names, converts characters, numbers files. Highly useful, not inexpensive.

Niftiest screen capture utility that truly Thinks Different. Layers captures everything on your Mac’s screen, and saves the individual graphic elements as Photoshop layers. It even captures a whole web page that’s longer than your Mac’s screen. Way cool.
A different and unique screenshot capture tool for Mac designers, developers, technical writers, documentalists and Photoshop aficionados. With Layers you capture every item on your screen—dock, menu and status bar, finder icons, application windows, etc.—as separate layers in a PSD archive.

Very attractive, newspaper-like RSS newsreader. Looks like a digital version of the daily paper. Features multiple sections, a shelf for clippings. Ultra simple, rather inviting, friendly. Think of it as digital nostalgia.
Instead of treating news like email (as most RSS readers do), Times presents you with headlines and photos from a variety of sources all in one place, letting you more easily discover the news you want to read. Like your own personal newspaper, you can put feeds into separate areas, create pages for different subjects, and more.
