I am encouraging college students I work with to take a look at it to help them maintain good study habits as well. In addition to using tests I have created, I can log in to the Test Portal and see what tests others have made and shared. I can upload my tests to the portal and share them as well. ... It looks like this could develop into a wonderful study tool and we’ll be making good use of it in our household for the youngest student as well as the aging one. :) Give it a look and see if you might just find it useful for your study needs. And, if you do find it useful perhaps you will also find time to contribute some well crafted tests to the online community. It is a “young” app and as such it does have some room for improvement. The developers are very responsive and I’m sure we’ll see steady improvements over time. I’m looking forward to making heavy use of Cram on my desktop, iPhone and iPod Touch. ]]>macappgem@gmail.comFreewareSocial Media2009-06-23T11:54:38-04:00http://macappgem.com/files/e91c80d869c28cb91c43c298548e9f20-22.html#unique-entry-id-22http://macappgem.com/files/e91c80d869c28cb91c43c298548e9f20-22.html#unique-entry-id-22P3: PeraPeraPrv has some really nice features not found in any other clients. To begin "P3" is made entirely out of Java so it is cross platform and it is one of the first application that runs on 64-bit (greater speed and memory handling). When you select a tweet, P3 is smart enough to highlight all posts by the same author. This makes it easy to keep track of the conversation. P3 features fast and easy "one click" access to your timeline, mentions of your name, direct message, inbox, personal website and twitter search.P3 offers the ability of applying an unlimited number of custom filters. When you right click a message another plethora of options becomes available to you. Anything from adding the message to your favorites to retweet and visiting the user's website. One feature I like about P3 is that it displays the date and time of the tweet. It’s not the kind of application which will cater to everyone, mainly because the interface is a mix between MS messenger, twitter and an IRC client. However, the number of options and freedom given to the user, makes it a worthy application to have on any Mac. ]]>macappgem@gmail.comUtilityBatteryFreeware2009-06-12T00:53:49-04:00http://macappgem.com/files/d771906554114746cd922c4227623da6-21.html#unique-entry-id-21http://macappgem.com/files/d771906554114746cd922c4227623da6-21.html#unique-entry-id-21 coconutBattery is free (donations welcome) ]]>macappgem@gmail.comDisk UtilityFreewareOrganization2009-06-08T22:38:20-04:00http://macappgem.com/files/168a2cfc884f2393af4a635301cc0619-20.html#unique-entry-id-20http://macappgem.com/files/168a2cfc884f2393af4a635301cc0619-20.html#unique-entry-id-20So, let's say you want to clear out some space from your external remote disk. On the left you have the drive's directory tree and on the right you have the graphical representation of the files. From this map you can right click and delete files you no longer need. This way you can quickly clear gigabytes of disk space with one single click. I have been using Disk Inventory X for a few days and I have gained 76 GBs of hard disk space. It's so much easier to look at files in a graphic way than having to look for file information every time. Of course you don't have to take my word for it .

With the calculator plugin, you can now do mathematical calculations with pi, sin, cos, and tan support. With version 3 of WriteIt, you can now send files quickly and easily with Bluetooth integration. But that’s not all the WriteIt has to offer. Every registered user will receive 500MB of online storage (soon 1GB) that will be accessible throughout the world, only by you.

Wife fires up Paperless, searches on taxes and... “here’s the number you need.” (it happened, right before April 15) ;) Keeping online receipts is a snap because you can print to PDF within the Mac OS and once Paperless is installed “Save PDF to Paperless” becomes one of your available options under the “Print to PDF” menu.
