“Got a favorite Mac software title? Tell me about it. I might like it, too. Or not.”
The perfect utility for Mac newbies. TinkerTool unleashes hidden features and settings in Mac OS X without damaging your system. The TinkerTool System adds even more features.
TinkerTool is an application that gives you access to additional preference settings Apple has built into Mac OS X. This allows to activate hidden features in the operating system and in some of the applications delivered with the system. All preference settings changed by TinkerTool can be reset to Apple’s defaults, or to the state that existed before using the tool. No dangerous background processes are used for TinkerTool’s operation.

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.

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.
