    Folders Synchronizer Review

    Posted 07/01/2011 at 12:20pm | by Adam Berenstain

    Comments

    Time Machine backups can help you recover from disasters that would otherwise mean lost time and data. But sometimes just archiving your Mac’s files isn’t enough -- that’s where applications like Folders Synchronizer come in. While it delivers much more flexibility than OS X’s stock backup options, it lacks the polish of other less-expensive programs.

    Place Clock Review

    iOS 5 will reportedly add location-based reminders this Fall, but that doesn't do you much good right now, does it? Place Clock fills the current gap in functionality quite nicely, provided you can accept a few shortcomings.

    Adobe Nav Review

    Posted 06/23/2011 at 4:11pm | by J.R. Bookwalter

    Comments

    For frequent Photoshoppers, Adobe Nav is the most worthwhile of Adobe's trio of iPad apps, built on its new Photoshop Touch SDK. This $1.99 app displays Photoshop’s desktop tools on the iPad screen, allowing you to access them without touching the mouse. Well, most of the tools, at least, with some very notable exceptions.

    Drops FTP Client Review

    Comment

    Progress makes today’s labor-saver tomorrow’s drudgery, so maybe it’s a matter of time before even dropping files from one window into another feels like work. That seems to be the logic behind Drops, a barely there FTP client that’s so streamlined it hardly exists on your Desktop at all. We’re big fans of simplicity, and while this app does its job, that job is pretty limited.

    Adobe Color Lava Review

    Posted 06/22/2011 at 12:40pm | by J.R. Bookwalter

    Comments

    Priced at $2.99, Color Lava lands between the convenience of Nav and the questionable utility of Eazel. Essentially, it turns your iPad into a digital paint palette capable of mixing your own colors and accessing them immediately in Photoshop CS5.

    Do you use your laptop as much as you should? Considering the amount of money you paid for it, it’s surely worth putting your mobile Mac to work even when you’re at your desk. With Air Display for Mac, you can harness its screen as a second display for your desktop computer.

    CopyPaste Pro Clipboard Utility Review

    Posted 06/17/2011 at 1:10pm | by Ben Harvell

    Comments

    How many times have you pressed Command-C, only to realize that you forgot to paste the last thing you copied? And now it’s been copied over, so it’s no longer in your clipboard, and if you still want to paste it somewhere, you gotta go find it and re-copy it first. Sure, it’s a simple mistake, but the consequences can range from annoying to disastrous, depending on what you’re working on at the time. But what if your clipboard had the same DeLorean-like time-traveling capabilities of Apple’s Time Machine?

    Playback Media Server Review

    Posted 06/13/2011 at 4:40pm | by Ray Aguilera

    Comments

    Watching movies and TV shows on your Mac is cool, but no matter what you’re watching, we guarantee it’s much cooler on a 52-inch HDTV than a 13-inch MacBook. We’ve all figured out how to get video, music and movies on our Macs, but getting those zeros and ones from our Macs to our TVs has always been more challenging. That’s where Playback comes in handy, simplifying what was once a complicated process by essentially acting as a software version of Apple TV. As long as you have some compatible hardware, you’ll be streaming all your photos, music, and more in a matter of minutes.

    SuperSync iTunes-Syncing Utility Review

    Posted 06/02/2011 at 4:23pm | by J.R. Bookwalter

    Comment

    iTunes has come a long way over ten versions—that is, unless your aim is to sync music and videos between multiple computers. Apple introduced Home Sharing in an effort to resolve this problem, but that approach doesn’t do much good when a song you want to play is stored on a computer that’s powered down.

    Air Display Review

    What do you do with your iPhone or iPad when it’s sitting next to your Mac? Air Display connects your iOS device and your Mac over Wi-Fi, allowing you to use the additional screen space as part of your Desktop -- and also interact via the touch display. The possibilities are numerous; designating a display to your Twitter and IM clients or grouping your Photoshop palettes and brushes on to one screen are just a couple of examples.
