Snow Leopard on Friday

After a bunch of speculation the release date for Apple’s OS X Snow Leopard is confirmed – August 28th, this Friday. That had been the rumor going around and yet again it proved to be true.

There really isn’t much else to be said. If you have Leopard on your machine and you’re looking to upgrade, you can get your copy of Snow Leopard for $29. Even better, if you’ve bought a Mac anytime between now and last June, you can get your upgrade copy for just $9.95.

Because I bought my Macbook Pro in June I preordered my copy way back then, so I should have it on Friday. Expect a post about how the update goes.

Review of Wallet for OSX

Here’s my video for the week, a review of an extremely useful application called Wallet.  Sure, it might not be the flashiest app you’ve ever seen, but it provides some pretty handy functionality!

iTunes 8.0 Gridview and Genius Playlists

I wrote a post earlier this week in which I ran through some of the new features in iTunes 8.0, particularly Genius playlists, but I figured today I’d make a couple videos to show what I was talking about a little bit better.  Without further ado:

CamTwist

It’s Saturday so that means it’s video time.  For this one I demoed CamTwist, an application that lets you do some on-screen effects for streaming/video capturing.  Pretty cool stuff.  If you have any recommendations of applications I should take a look at, let me know!  Whether you’re paid or free it doesn’t matter – I just like getting my hands on cool Mac software. =)

Delicious Library

Here’s another video for your viewing pleasure!  This time I demo Delicious Library 2.0, a neat application for cataloging your media.  Check it out!

Mac OS X Leopard features I’m using

The title’s pretty self-explanatory.  This is my first screencast in which I talk about the Leopard features I’ve been using.  It’s broken up into two parts and the second actually shows an application that isn’t standard with Leopard which can also be used in Tiger.  You’ll just have to watch to figure out what app it is! =P
