Dear Lazyweb, is there a mac application which can easily synch a folder on my Mac with a folder on my cell phone via bluetooth? I know it is very easy to do if I use the phone via my USB cable — it then connects as a local device/drive and all is easy. I would love to have iSync do the job for me 
And of course iTunes synching the phone like an iPod, as longs as there still is no iPhone to get.

At the end of 2006 (doesn’t this sound cheesy? It has been just a few hours…) lifehacker started the discussion about which shareware apps were purchased by their readers in 2006. This question has been spreading thorugh many mac blogs (such as this and that), and since I always wanted to post a list of cool shareware apps I use myself: here it is. Note: also included are some freebies and free software… and some stuff I have bought pre-2006.
MacBreakZ
Year: 2006
Version: 4
Author: Frank Reiff
Platform: Mac OS
Category: Utility
Publisher: Publicspace
Price: 9,95
Rating: out of 5
The old-time classic of mac anti-RSI applications has been updated, finally, to a MacOSX-savvy version. MacBreakZ is now available in version 4 (free upgrade for anyone who purchased after Jan 1st 2005, else USD 10) and it is functional as before: it checks your activity level, stops you for short micro breaks during work phases, interrupts these work phases with short breaks and also suggests stretching exercises to do during these breaks. Additionally it warns you before these breaks happen and enforces them, but it doesn’t do so if you are really busy.
The application’s look and feel is just as you would expect for a Mac application. It is transparent, as unobtrusive as you like, but can be as obvious as you need it — customization of transparencies is available as well as of any other part of the application. Set your own timers, warnings and sounds effects.
If you ever think you should do more breaks, working at the computer is killing you; this app is for you. Especially if you have first hand experience of RSI: don’t take it too easy and give yourself the necessary breaks! It is well worth the effort!

This article sounds helpful. But now that I have looked into my firefox directory I have found 100MB of log files of this google browser synch extension… is that necessary?
I have tested three uploading tools (besides the web based uploader) for flickr so far:
the flickr uploader from flickr themselves. Rather basic in its functionality, but nevertheless useful.
the iPhoto exporter by connectedflow’s Fraser Speirs. Very cool and very useful — if you use iPhoto. (There are enough reasons not to use it, so…)
and last, but not least:
1001 a very useful tool, that can upload — but does much more than that. It has an integrated “feed subscriber” where you can check out new pics from your friends, contacts or groups - even tag based searches. It also lets you upload your pics to sets and groups (a feature I have not seen in any of the other tools), you can easily tag the pictures - very intuitive user interface and functionality.
My favorite one is definitely 1001, followed by the iPhoto exporter. So go grab both and max out your bandwidth!
