Mac Map

I used to mock my friends who used windows saying that they wasted 40% of their time watching the clock cursor and another 10% fighting with the blue screen of death. While I am a proud mac user, I have seen macs freeze, very rare and extremely unfortunate though. I use backup programs, which connect my mac to my online world, ensuring my data is very safe, even in case of a theft or a crash. You may still need to recover files in case of a disaster. Macs never freeze, but if it does, you can make use of very good recovery programs. You might want to Recover Mac files, when you lose sets of photos from your vacation. Using Disk Doctors, you can easily achieve your goals and also work smart with a intuitive software. There is also a free demo, which you may want to try before signing up for the $49 Photo Recovery Mac software.

Like always, since macs and ipods work in arms, you may want to extend this software to receover files on your ipod as well. All your music, videos and photos on your ipod can be recovered using Recover iPod software.

If you are a developer or a designer or a photographer or a musician, you could really make a mac to a good advantage. If you are a full time blogger, you might still find a mac a better alternative to ‘windoze“. As a matter of fact, whatever you do, you can work with a mac better than you do with a windows computer.

Wordpress is a state of art and open source publishing platform and is mostly the unanimous choice for most bloggers. Here are a few good wordpress compatible desktop clients, which you can use on a mac.

The advantages:
1. It works mac style.
2. You have more freedom in a application than in a browser, like a drag and drop image.
3. Offline access

Here is the list.

1. Blogo - is a shareware application, and is almost outdated and will probably not work with the latest versions.

2. TextMate - Sheer power for any developer, textmate is a awesome application, which you can use for development for most platforms and also use it as a blogging client.

3. Flock - The social web browser is one of our favorites, since it is free and also open source. Flock supports wordpress and is geared with solid addons.

4. MyBlogEdit 1.0 - A recently launched service and when we took it for a test drive, we were extremely pleased with it.

If you know a better alternative, do let us know.

Google has just announced another release of software for the mac. IF you are using quicksilver, this may not be a impressive addon for you. If spotlight is the cup of tea for you, you might be interested in adding another software to your collection from google - google quick search box.

Launching applications just got easier with google quick search box??

It was already easy and in my opinion google has just reinvented the wheel. While people who have used quicksilver will not even look for another option, using the spotlight has been a very convenient solution for the rest of the people.

Adding to this, spotlight has a boatload of plugins, which you can use along it to enhance your search experience.
