We’re calendar geeks. Without iCal, we’d be completely lost. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. For one, we often wish there was a quick way to view dates on the calendar without having to switch over to iCal and break the flow of what we’re currently working on. A simple day/date display in iCal would come in handy for everything from scheduling deadlines to planning weekend trips with friends. DateLine is a donationware application that adds a lightweight calendar display to your Desktop and also gives you one-click access to iCal.

Initially we all had just one Mac and one iPod. We’d dutifully sync our iPod with our Mac, and life was grand.

Then we got a MacBook, another iPod, and finally, an iPhone. Soon it was apparent that our music library was scattered across multiple machines and the idea of trying to figure out which machine had which songs became an onerous task. So we just threw them all together, resulting in tons of unwanted duplicate tracks.

When a friend’s child ran up to us at a dinner party with a shocked look on her face and proceeded to describe what one of the older boys had “accidentally” stumbled upon on the Internet, we realized that the time had come to impose some serious restrictions on Web activity in our house. Enter Net Nanny, recently available for Macs, which helps you limit access to the Internet’s darker corners. And while there are parental controls built into OS X, they may not be strict enough.

The Little App Factory RipIt

In-flight movies suck. They’re usually not the greatest films to begin with, and then anything that could possibly offend anyone--otherwise known as “the good parts”--gets edited out. Lucky for you, all you need is a MacBook and some headphones to stage your own film festival at 35,000 feet. But spinning a DVD takes a serious toll on battery life, which is where DVD ripping comes in.

If an entire iTunes library was purchased from the iTunes Store, all the tracks came with complete metadata. Those lucky (and wealthy) users can scroll through iTunes without seeing any jarring blank spots in the Artist, Album, and Genre columns, or songs named Track 01 and Track 02. The rest of us? Our multi-gig libraries were patchworked together from ripped CDs, mixes from friends, tracks digitized from analog sources, and, um, “found” audio files that could’ve come from anywhere.

While including your Twitter and Facebook friends' contact information would be a pretty cool add-on to Mac's Address Book, recently released "screenshots" appear less than completely accurate looking.
