Handy utility to make your Mac’s mouse behave like a Windows PC mouse and move the pointer automatically to a default button in a pop up dialog box.

A handy utility to find duplicate files on your Mac. In the age of large hard drives we usually keep everything. You, know. Just to be sure. Really sure.
With Tidy Up! you can search for duplicate files and packages; by the owner application, content, type, creator, extension, time modified, time created, name, label, visibility and delays. You can also search by the tag, duration and bit installments of MP3 and AAC sound files, search the contents of the iPhoto, Aperture, iTunes, iPod databases and Mail mailboxes, and synchronize deletions with iPhoto, Mail and iTunes.
9WR - Tidy Up!: Finds duplicate files, sorts by application, time modified, more.
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.
The ultimate Mac shortcut utility. Assign a keyboard shortcut to open files, folders, documents, applications, whatever. A good way to test your memory, too, trying to remember all those shortcuts.
AliasKeys lets you assign keystrokes to open files and folders. Any item that the Finder can open may be dragged to the list of AliasKeys and assigned a combination of keys, to open it without touching your mouse. You can use AliasKeys for applications, documents, folders, aliases, preference panels, servers, scripts… even web pages!
9WR - AliasKeys: Assign specific keystrokes to open files, folders, applications, utilities.
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.
9WR - Times: Unique, friendly RSS digital newspaper; headlines, photos, links, pages, sections.
