Software you should know: Perian

Saturday, March 8th, 2008 |


Perian recently went from version 1 to version 1.1. I installed it and then thought about how this is the first time that I have touched/opened any install of Perian on any of my computers since their initial installations. Pretty amazing for a program that I use almost every day.
Why? Because Perian is a true Apple software application. My reason for saying that is this: It just works.

Useful Tips: Stay Protected At All Times

Sunday, February 24th, 2008 |

Even though there are no known viruses for the Mac at the moment, you never know when something could pop up and cause trouble. With that said, it is always better to be safe than sorry and if staying protected also comes at no expense, there really should be no excuse for us Mac users. If you are still without an anti-virus, get protected for free by downloading ClamXav. Let’s not forget that even though viruses don’t affect Macs, they can still be passed on from your computer to windows users. Like I said before it is absolutely free to download and it could save you and your friends with Windows a lot of headaches in the future.

Top 5 Leopard Friendly Freeware

Monday, February 18th, 2008 |

With the release of OS X Leopard, Mac users now enjoy a robust collection of software and features that are truly remarkable. Regardless of all the new toys Leopard comes loaded with, there are always some useful applications roaming around that are completely free and further enhance your experience with your Mac. In light of that, AppletizeMe.Com is proud to provide you with this Top 5 Leopard Friendly Freeware article. We have searched the Internet for the best of the best and now proudly present our work for your benefit and enjoyment. If you do not have these already, consider downloading them for a more enjoyable experience with your Mac.

5. Mozilla Firefox (http://www.Mozilla.com)

Let’s face it. Most of us spend a lot of time browsing the web. In fact, that’s why many of us buy a computer in the first place. Mozilla Firefox is an incredibly flexible browser that functions extremely well under Leopard and while yes, Safari does come with every Mac and is a very capable browser, Firefox is an excellent alternative and dare I say, a slightly better browser than Safari. The many plug-ins available over at Mozilla.com and the robust browsing experience makes it the browser of choice for me. Try it out, it’s free to use and is an excellent alternative to Safari.

4. Flip4Mac WMV (Flip4Mac)

If you have been using your Mac without this handy little component, chances are you ran into a WMV file that wouldn’t play. This simple addition allows you to view WMV files even while using Safari to browse the Internet.

3. NeoOffice (http://www.NeoOffice.org)

For those that want a free alternative to Office 08 for Mac, NeoOffice is a full-featured set of office applications (including word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, drawing, and database programs) for Mac OS X. It is based on the very popular OpenOffice for Windows and provides a very robust suite of features and is even compatible with Microsoft Office. The best free alternative to Office 08 for Mac.

2. AppCleaner (AppCleaner)

This very small application is the freeware version of the very popular shareware program, AppZapper. While removing applications is a breeze on Leopard, most of the time these removed applications will leave stray files behind that will take up space on your hard drive. AppCleaner makes sure that you do not have any of those files left behind and helps maintain a cleaner hard drive.

1. Adium (http://www.adiumx.com)

For all of the messenger junkies out there, this tool is a must. With Adium, you can quickly connect to AIM, Google Talk, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, ICQ, and many other services under one easy to use interface. This very simple to use, yet very capable messenger client will allow you to connect to all your friends over multiple clients without having to open each different program.

There you have it folks. Our take one some of the best freeware available for Mac. Download them, enjoy them, and drop us a note to tell us how you like your new toys.
