As you probably know, the newest iMacs come with FrontRow, an app that makes the computer look like a large iPod and lets you play music and videos from across the room with the included remote. MediaCentral is what Chuck Joiner calls “FrontRow for the rest of us”. MediaCentral looks almost exactly like FrontRow, and it is said to work with a remote control, but I don’t have one to test it with. I listened to Chuck’s podcast interview with the makers of MediaCentral, and they mentioned that it can also play music from Shared iTunes libraries, which FrontRow can’t do.
Update: This program is no longer free. Bummer. Another one bites the dust.

If Macs are about getting things done, this will certainly help. NuFile is a contextual menu plugin. It adds a “new file” menu when you right click at a folder(ie: desktop or Finder background). With this menu, you can create an empty file of your favourite type with two clicks. Right now, you have the options to create a new text, html, TEX, Java, PHP, Excel, Word or Powerpoint document with the two clicks.
With this plugin, you can save a few seconds here and a few seconds there and eventually you’ll have enough time saved up that you can watch a football game without feeling lazy.

Occasionally you may need to rename several files (we’ve reviewed stuff for that before) OR search and replace in a file. This does both.

This one deserved a new category, so I created the “cool” category. (Really, I did.) Upon opening this app for the first time, CoverFlow will read in all of your cover art from iTunes. When it’s finally and dramatically finished, you’ll be able to browse through your album art as if all the covers were stacked next to each other like dominoes. You can move the scroll bar to “flip” through the art. You’ll have to see it to believe it.
You can also play and pause iTunes, and search for songs. Very cool.

From the creator of WeatherDock, we get Photo Desktop. This program is a lot of fun to play with on my Powerbook. Photo Desktop will let you take multiple pictures and place them all over your desktop. Rather than just one boring picture, you can have a collage o’ memories. Photo Desktop will let you choose photos straight from your iPhoto collection.

It’s nice to be on a network with other Mac Users because you can listen to their iTunes (and watch their videos in iTunes), chat using Bonjour, SSH, iPhoto sharing, etc. Zerospan let’s you ake advantage of these same services from remote networks.
Zerospan let’s you bridge two computers by using email addresses. When it loads, it will read from your address book and let you get started with anyone with an e-mail address.

GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed piece of software for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It works on many operating systems, in many languages.
Much like Photoshop…but without the price tag.

Here’s kind of a fun one. Bricksmith lets you replicate Lego models on your computer. You move and rotate parts and add them together. Like a CAD program for everyone.

Textpander makes typing easier by “expanding” your “text”. You can set abbreviations for longer phrases that you type often and let Textpander take away the tediousness. For example, you can set it up so typing “mysig” expands into “Sincerely, John Doe.” You can also set abbreviations for the current date and time. Great for anyone that types common phrases often, like responding to a lot of emails.
It installs as a System Preference Pane so it works with every application.
Textpander is no longer freeware. Shame, shame.
