App of the Week: Fluid

12 04 2008

Fluid is a great site specific browser.  Site specific browsers are used for running web apps as their own app on your computer.  It has an excellent simple interface.  When you launch Fluid, it asks you for some information about your web app, then creates a new application for that site, automatically choosing an icon.  Simple, easy, and efficient, a 5 star app.  Download it at http://fluidapp.com/.

Widget of the Week: ToDo 2.0

27 03 2008

ToDo is a great dashboard widget for managing your ToDo’s within the Dashboard.  It’s interface is smooth, when adding ToDos a box slide up and allows you to choose the calendar (which then color codes the check box), then type in the name as well as choose priority.  One of the best features in the new 2.0 upgrade is the abillity to automatic resise the height of the window depending on the number of ToDos.  Great widget!

Apple Might Go Into A Subscription Service for Music

20 03 2008

According to a NYT article, Apple is talking about encorporating the cost of music into its iPods or iPhones.  After a year or two, the service would expire and the user could either buy a new iPod or pay a renewal fee.  Like other subscription services, the music would be tied to the iPod.  If you didn’t renew, you would loose all your music.  Personally I think this is a horrible idea.  Part of the reason I use iTunes is because they let you own your music.
