Topics:
In this episode Rob and I discuss Apple’s brand-new Mac App Store, which launched on January 6 — and was cracked on the same day. We discuss its 10.6.6 requirement, the combo updater and some of our picks from the first 24 hours of the Mac App Store being open. Oh, and we play “What’s on your Mac.”
Here’s what’s on our Macs this week:
Jason
- Alfred (free, Mac App Store) – Launcher for OS X that replaced QuickSilver and LaunchBar
- Alfred Powerpack (~$19) – Extra features built on top of Alfred (file system navigation, result actions, etc.)
- Caffeine (free, Mac App Store) – Tiny menu bar item to prevent your Mac from automatically going to sleep
- AirFoil 4 ($25) – The premier tool for streaming audio around the house
Rob
- Icebird (twitter app for iPhone) – $3.99
- Twitter for Mac (free Mac App store)
