Warning: Time waster ahead.
Lumen is a simple and beautiful puzzle game for OS X and Windows. The objective is to light up checkpoints by bouncing, coloring, and maneuvering a laser beam through obstacles. Although puzzles may seem easy at first sight, the can be quite a challenge. The careful attention to detail and the colorful graphics make Lumen a joy to play.
(And what a great looking site too!)

Pando will make it easy to send large files to friends or family.
Usually when I need to send a large file to someone, I put it on my own server and then send them a url to visit and download it. Basically, this is what Pando will allow you to do. You drop a file on your Pando application, put in a message and an email address and the file is uploaded and a message is sent to the receiver letting them know that they can come and get it.
The other benefit to Pando is your inbox won’t get clogged up with the large files. You are only sent a small “.pando” file and that will point you where to go to get the full file.

You can consider CoRD to be a nice replacement for Microsoft’s Remote Desktop. This application will enable you to take over the screens of Windows machines so your life is easier as a Mac guy in a Windows world. It’s’ a great tool for network administrators.
CoRD looks nice and has “sparkle integration, right mouse emulation, custom port connections, stored settings, error reporting, and more resolutions.”

This won’t always be free, but while it is I think it will be interesting to many of you. If your Mac has an Intel chip, CrossOver Mac is another way of running Windows programs. The major difference between this app and competing products like Parallels or Bootcamp is that CrossOver doesn’t require you to own a copy of Windows. Instead of emulating a PC, CrossOver emulates Windows itself, so Bill doesn’t make a dime when you use CrossOver. This won’t work with every Windows program, but it’s worth a try if you need this sort of functionality.
UPDATE: I’ve had a couple of reports of this application not working very well. It’s definitely in beta form and only works with a handful of applications. (I’ve seen Bootcamp and Parallels in action and they work like champs.) I can only recommend CrossOver if you’re adventurous. This probably won’t be the right thing for most people.

With the release of Intel Macs, we’ve seen some options for running Windows on our Macs. Parallels and Boot Camp get most of the love, but don’t forget about the longstanding free alternative, Q.
With Q, you can run Windows and Linux right along side your Mac OS X install. I finally had the chance to try it out and it works great.

Wikis are one among the cooler technnologies prevalent on the web today. Zulu brings the power of the wiki to your desktop. This app calls itself “the only cross-platform personal wiki”, and seems quite straightforward to learn and use. For those who are new to the idea, wikis let you create various pages within the same document, linking one page to the next through the use of hyperlinks, an idea which is very useful for comparing and cross-referencing your notes.

I know it creates fear in many of you to think of downloading a Microsoft product. That fear is justified. But FolderShare may be a diamond in the rough. FolderShare lets you “create a private peer-to-peer network that will help you to synchronize files across multiple devices and access or share files with colleagues and friends.” There is a 2GB maximum per file, but you can make unlimited file transfers.
FolderShare can work between Macs and PCs by making a free account and getting all satellites on that account. So, if you have files at work that you’d like to continue working on when you get home, this will help. Rather than burning it to a cd or putting it on a drive, you can drop it in the folder and when you get home it will be there waiting for you. (This is also a great way to share music with friends and family…but I didn’t say that.)

Mac OS X is the most compatible operating system ever, right out of the box, with excellent support for printing to any printer, connecting to any computer, etc. But we still live in a Windows world, and sometimes Microsoft makes things difficult. Here are a collection of Mac OS X apps that help you get along in WinWorld:

You may have noticed, like I have, that when you save files to a USB thumb drive and take them to a Windows PC, the thumb drive is filled with extra files. For instance, if you save an image called Apple.jpg to your thumb drive, Mac OS X creates another file called .Apple.jpg file (the resource fork) and a .DS_Store file. These files are invisible on a Mac but end up being confusing to Windows users. BlueHarvest is a System Preference pane that prevents these files from being created. Great for cross-platform users!
Update: This software has gone the way of the almighty dollar. It is no longer freeware.
