OS X App of the day: You Control: Tunes

You Control: Tunes! A handy little 4-button addition to your top menu bar! You can control iTunes without it being open on the desktop. Pause, fast forward, rewind and you can select things from a pull down menu. Also, each time a new track starts, a see-thru window pops up at the bottom of the screen with CD art and track info. The window does not interfere with typing, either, unlike some things.

OS X App of the Day: Paparazzi

You know how screen grab tools only fit what fits on the screen? Not no mo'! Just pop the URL into Paparazzi and it'll go grab all the info for you and you can save it in any format/size you want. The whole page!

Super sweet. Especially for me, who works solely with online and it's a bitch doing grabs.

OS X App of the Day

OS X App of the Day, originally uploaded by macslost.

I've been working on a Mac and a PC since 1999. Back then, when I got one of the first iMacs, I had various problems with my Mac, specifically with PC compatible programs, video, file tagging, etc. As time has passed, a billion little applications have been made and 8 years later, I looooove my Mac and have a distaste for PCs, though they are a necessary evil from time to time.

ANYWAY, long story short, I have decided to start posting cool little things I have found for my Mac. Today's App:

SnapNDrag

When I tried to grab the image below on my MacBook, it denied me, saying I had to quit the DVD Player if I wanted to use the screenshot function. "Oy! Not Cool!" A quick Google later and voila! There's the pic. SnapNDrag allows you to choose whatever you want to, much like you automatically can with a Mac (Shift+Apple+3 or 4 or 4+Space) but apparently they shut it off for DVD Player as some sort of half-ass attempt to appease movie studios.

So, new feature: App of the Day (or week, depending on how lazy I get)
