Mac Software Promo Bundle Discount is a post from Chris Pirillo

I had a chance to breeze through the apps being offered in this MacUpdate Promo, and… it’s well worth the price of admission (if only for Leap alone). Will likely grow to love these others even more over time, too:

Hazel

Add options to “Trash” folder
Adds ‘App Sweep’ to clean orphaned support files
Delete duplicate files
Define your own rules

Art Text

Easy way to make Text Graphics
Comes with tons of pre-set Styles
Buttonize any font glyph
Various export options
Extremely better than “Word Art”

MenuCalendarClock for iCal

Integrates data from iCal with idea of Menu Bar clock
Appointment information shows up in tool tips
Lists ‘to do’ items
Includes Search bar
Clean, straightforward interface

Leap

Amazing, amazing, amazing Finder replacement
What Vista’s Windows Explorer tries to be
Eliminates the idea and need for folders
Bridges the gap between Spotlight and you
Never lose a file again

Surfaces snippet status
Tagging

Extract raw data streams from DVDs
Copy entire DVD or just certain chapters
Copy audio or video from DVD

Sound Studio

Audio recorder / editor
Live input levels
Much nicer than Audacity ;)
Great for podcast production
Multi-track support

BannerZest

Create simple Flash animations with ease
Choose a theme, add a graphic, done
Come across as more skilled than you actually are
FTP and .Mac transfer support
Family may get a kick out of your creations

Parallels Desktop

Run Windows in Mac OS X as a virtual machine (duh)
Access Boot Camp partition from within OS X
Just as simple to use as VMware Fusion
Make the Windows desktop melt into OS X’s
Can also run Linux VMs, potentially

So, there you go – the latest MacUpdate Promo. As I said before, however… this entire package is worth buying, if only for Leap.

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
