MacHeist Bundle vs MacUpdate Promo

MacUpdate Promo
There are currently two great software bundles now available for Mac OS X: the MacHeist Bundle and MacUpdate's Promo bundle. Both offer a collection of commercial Mac apps, and both offer great savings by purchasing the apps bundled instead of separately. Here is a quick breakdown of both bundles and our recommendation if you can have only one.

MacUpdate Promo
The initial bundle costs $64.99 (USD) and includes the following:

  • Hazel - folder organization, trash emptying, app cleaning,
  • Leap - Spotlight replacement that supports tagging
  • ArtText - create pretty, artistic text (for headings, banners, etc.) from predefined or custom styles
  • DVDRemaster Pro - compress DVD's to DVD5 (4.7GB) and convert DVD's to iPod formats
  • Typinator - repetitive text and image replacement
  • StoryMill - organization app for novel writing
  • MenuCalendarClock - iCal access via the menubar

App Update keeps your Mac software current

App Update Freeware dashboard widget App Update checks Version Tracker to make sure your Mac's third-party software is up-to-date. After App Update checks your system, it provides links to the respective Version Tracker pages so you can download and install the updates.

You can configure the widget to automatically check daily or weekly, and it supports Growl so that you can be notified when updates are available. You can also add Apple Downloads and Mac Update as update sources to potentially find updates for more of your installed software. If you don't install all of your apps into your /Applications folder, simply add your desired paths into the "Path Settings" area of the widget's config section.

Since Mac users can't benefit from a system-wide package manager like that of Ubuntu, using this simple dashboard widget can keep your software updated.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
