PalmGuard by Moshi
Review
My Black MacBook does have a tendency to show fingerprints and smudges. While the outside is something I wipe down constantly, the palm rest and trackpad are areas I’d like to try and keep as smudge free as possible…but that seems impossible at times. Enter Moshi and it’s product, the PalmGuard.

Dreamweaver 8
Review
This is what happens when you procrastinate on a Mac article: the whole world changes before your eyes! When I first got my review copy of Dreamweaver 8, it was fresh off the presses from Macromedia. I was happy to get it, and then it wasn’t Macromedia’s any more. Hearing that Adobe had taken over, I felt positively parental: “Be nice to my baby!”
Read MoreBravo SE Disc Publisher
Review
Convergence – it is one of the buzzwords in computing at the moment. It is the joining of disparate technologies in a single device – for example, a cellphone and an MP3 player. Primera Technology sent me a different and intriguing example of the same convergence concept – their Bravo SE Disc Publisher. What they have done is integrate a DVD writer, inkjet printer and a nifty robot arm to create a unit to automate the production of professional quality DVD or CD discs.
Read MorePosterino
Review
At first glance, Posterino looks like a Print Shop/Photoshop type of program, but it isn’t. Posterino is a program for making photo collages, photo postcards, and more. The projects you work on can be as simple or as complicated as you want. Plus, you don’t have to use only photos. If you can import the image file into iPhoto, you can use it in Posterino.

A Better Finder Tool Suite
Review
A Better Finder Tool Suite is a set of Finder add-ons that perform bulk renaming, attribute editing, and file finding tasks. A Better Finder Rename and A Better Finder Attributes are launched through contextual menu items and thereby applied to batches of files, making changes to files that are either slow or impossible to make in the Finder. Via a keyboard shortcut, A Better Finder Launcher gives the user shortcuts to files and applications. Since each is also available as a standalone product, this review will look at each of them separately before balancing up the entire set in terms of value and usefulness.

Read MoreKeyword Manager
Review
Sweden has brought us lots of good things – Saunas, Ikea, Volvo, Saab, Astrid Lindgren… the list could go on – but Keyword Manager definitely impressing me much more than my Ikea desk or the Volvo I just can’t afford. I am not going to pretend that it brings me as much joy as the stories Astrid Lindgren has written, but for a software tool it is pretty awesome.

Read MoreCreate a Digital Workflow for iPhoto
Anyone who regularly shoots digital photographs realizes just how easy it is to fill up a photo management system like Apple’s iPhoto with thousands of images. In fact, uploading, managing, and processing digital photos is probably the most difficult part of digital photography. Everyone loves to shoots pictures, but digital photos can easily fill up a hard drive just in same way many old school shutterbugs could fill up shoe boxes and plastic covered album pages
