Wow! I just received a message from MacHeist people – they give away licenses for Delicious Library 2 to everyone who purchased the MacHeist 3 bundle. I bought several days ago, as soon as I learnt about it on Twitter. It  includes several great applications I was already considering to buy on my own so I could not resist the temptation and bought the whole bundle for “the insanely low price of $39″.

Don McAllister of ScreenCastsOnline.com did a great overview of the software packages comprising the bundle.

In my personal opinion, the best applications in the bundle are:

• Acorn – powerful graphics editor, as in “PhotoShop for humans”
• WireTap Studio – the ultimate recording utiltity, as in “podcaster’s dream”
• Picturesque makes your images gorgeous, as in “wow! who did this?”
• PhoneView opens up your iPhone, as in “16GB flash drive”

There are other great applications that I am also excited about – like BoinxTV, a TV studio in your Mac, and Espresso, a fresh new web development tool – but they have not been unlocked yet. Let us wait…

By the way, they say that 25% of all sales goes to charity, and you can even choose which charity organizations your money goes to. It is a great cause – keep up the good work, guys!

Anyway, I am blown away by the Delicious Library 2 deal – it feels like getting that shiny new toy you were dreaming of the whole year under the Christmas tree in your childhood. Wow!

Quick – only 4 days left! Go get your copy now.

Если вы смотрели презентацию MacBook Air на Macworld Expo 2008 или рекламный ролик на сайте Apple, то наверняка помните бумажный конверт, из которого Стив Джобс достает сам ноутбук.

Так вот – шустрые господа из компании Timbuk2 быстренько сделали чехол для оного ноутбука в виде такого конверта.

Interestingly but Mac OS X platform has much more web browsers than I have ever used on Windows.

Let us see – on Windows I used Internet Explorer (IE), Firefox and Opera. Well, there are some other, less-known ones but I have never used them.

Now, on Mac I have used Safari, OmniWeb, Firefox, Camino, Flock, Opera and Shiira. Wow!

or “The Man with One Hundred Macs”

Well, I would even call it an obsession – Jeremy Mehrle has 100 (!) Macs in the basement of his house in Missouri. It looks like he has every model Apple has ever manufactured – starting from the original Macintosh. He even has the famous 20th Anniversary Mac which had the $10,000 price tag at the time (but he bought it for $800, apparently).

Not only he has that many Macs but he keeps it neatly organized, well-lighted and powered. A perfect Apple museum, or Mac fan heavens!
