What Apps Did You Buy This Year?

1. Januar 2007 Keine Kommentare

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’s return to OSX – glorious and pretty.

MacBreakZ

Year: 2006

Version: 4

Author: Frank Reiff

Platform: Mac OS

Category: Utility

Publisher: Publicspace

Price: 9,95

Rating: 5 out of 5

The old-time classic of mac anti-RSI applications has been updated, finally, to a MacOSX-savvy version. [MacBreakZ](http://www.publicspace.net/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! Note: more info on RSI and its prevention has been written [here](http://www.dekay.org/blog/archives/rsi-prevention)

Space Tripper

Year: 2005

Version: 1.84

Publisher: pompom software

Price: 14.95 USD

Rating: 5 out of 5

Space Tripper is a great looking, fast paced and very difficult space shooter. The layout of the levels is simple, you have two guns, each upgradable, you have fast, smart enemies and not much time. The graphics of this little game are absolutely amazing, the camera movement is very unique and cool. Just for the optics this game is fun, although you might need some prtactive before you actually reach any higher levels ;) The game is available for Mac OSX, Linux as well as Windows! OpenGL accelerated.

OpenSource that science software!

27. Mai 2006 Keine Kommentare

nodalpoint.org reports about a new scientific journal opening soon: Source Code for Biology and Medicine, which will cover

Source Code for Biology and Medicine aims to publish source code for distribution and use in the public domain in order to advance biological and medical research. Through this dissemination, it may be possible to shorten the time required for solving certain computational problems for which there is limited source code availability or resources.

Hopefully this initiative will make some things more transparent, create better tools for other’s to use and create fame for all those fancy wizards making great useful software for scientists!
