“Certified Mac Software” means I like it. Uh huh.
One of my all time favorite, and highly used, web development tools. xScope measures, aligns, inspects graphics and layouts on your Mac’s screen. If you design or develop on a Mac, this is a must-have tool.
A powerful set of tools that are ideal for measuring, aligning and inspecting on-screen graphics and layouts… available via the Mac OS X menu bar, xScope’s flexible tools float above desktop windows and UI elements making measuring a breeze… really seven tools in one that will help any designer do their job faster and produce more accurate results.
9WR - xScope: Seven tools; ruler, screen, loupe, guides, frames, crosshair, dimensions.
Our favorite free non-iChat audio, video, and chat utility. Good for VoIP phone calls, decent video and audio, good chat sessions. Live and talk dangerously with the new Skype; for Mac, Windows, and iPhone.
Talk to friends, family and co-workers across the internet without long distance telephone charges. It works by using P2P technology for the data transmission, meaning there is no central server as a middle manager.
9WR - Skype: iChat-like VoIP utility for audio, video, chat, free phone calls.
Utility that does what it says. Nothing more, nothing less. If you need to import plenty of contacts and addresses into Address Book, this is the utility to use.
Import contacts into Apple’s Address Book application on Mac OS X. It works with CSV or tab-delimited files, and gives you complete control over how the import is done. In no time, your hundreds of contacts are stowed away in the Mac OS X central Address Book, where they can be used by any application.
9WR - Address Book Importer: Uncluttered utility maps, imports data into Apple’s Address Book.

9WR - EyeTV: Watch, record, rewind live TV, picture-in-picture, edit, fast-forward.
Yet another free disk image utility with many options. DMG Converter creates, reads, writes, and compresses disk images. Formats as Mac, Unix, FAT, UDF, and more.
It is a very useful tool for the collective processing of more than one file and every folder, and it can deal with all the fundamental processing with the drag & drop of the file/folder.

Stunning views of the earth, our solar system, and thousands of stars. Explore the universe in three dimensions. Visually brilliant. Runs on Mac, Windows, Linux (Alexis’ review on Mac360).
