Inquisitor 3.0 Beta 2

Inquisitor 3 beta 2 Inquisitor, the free OS X app that adds "search as you type" functionality to Safari, has been updated. According to the official blog the app "provides an enhanced web searching experience by learning from your use of it over time and then tailoring the experience to suit you best. Websites that you've visited before are flagged and prioritized and search keywords you've used recently show up ahead of the rest. Best of all, your usage history is stored on your computer and yours alone, so unlike services like Google Personalized Search, you don't need to worry about some corporation watching and recording your every move." Since the last time we profiled Inquisitor a number of new features have been added. Your previously visited sites are now prominently displayed as such. Adding additional search engines is a snap, and over 30 have been included by default. There are also several updates to the Preferences [screenshot]

In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
