AirRadar 1.1.3 - Wireless network scanner. (Free)

AirRadar 1.1.3 - Wireless network scanner. (Free): "

AirRadar 1.1.3
AirRadar... Scanning for wireless networks is now easier and more personalized!

The best part - AirRadar is absolutely free!

AirRadar allows you to scan for open networks and tag them as favourites or filter them out. View detailed network information, graph network signal strength, and automatically join the best open network in range.


Whether you are driving around looking for wireless networks, stuck in traffic, sitting on the beach, or if you are curious how strong your wireless signal is at home, AirRadar provides a more linear approach to network hunting. Setup a scan frequency, and have new open or closed networks have their name spoken, play alerts, or display notifications.


Various other options allow you to customize your network list further, including assigning colors to best open networks and sound cues. Download it today, and take the hardship out of getting an internet connection at a critical time.


WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.1.3:

  • New Feature: Gives the option to continue running if a programming malfunction is encountered (instead of quitting).

  • New Feature: Now reports how many activations are remaining when you activate online.

  • Modification: Now storing license data in the preferences in a new format — this should help avoid strange unlicensing issues. Previous license data should automatically carry over to the new version without any problems unless it was previously stored incorrectly.

  • Bug Fix: Documentation access has been restored.

  • Bug Fix: Documentation updated to reflect activations.

  • Bug Fix: Fixed the background image in the DMG.

  • Bug Fix: Sparkle now reports when no new versions are available.

  • Bug Fix: Version information repaired.

PithHelmet 2.8.4 - Add powerful filters to Safari. (Shareware)

PithHelmet 2.8.4 - Add powerful filters to Safari. (Shareware): "

PithHelmet 2.8.4
PithHelmet... Problem: I hate ads. Solution: Kill my television. Better Solution: Content-filter my web pages...


The PithHelmet adds some basic but powerful content filtering to Apple's Safari browser. The basic purpose is to filter advertisements, but there are other potential uses as well (blocking Flash, Shockwave or horrible midi loops).

This is just a quick hack on top of Apple's basic framework, but it seems to work rather effectively.


WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.8.4: fix the crash issues for Safari 3.2.

REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.5 or later, Safari 3.2, SIMBL.

Gerüchte über einen Multitouch-iMac

Gerüchte über einen Multitouch-iMac: "Nur noch wenige Wochen vom nächsten Apple-Event entfernt läuft sich die Gerüchteküche langsam warm. Bei einem Rundgang durch die Hallen von LG, einem der Fertiger von Displays, die auch im iMac zum Einsatz kommen, ist angeblich ein 'full multitouch display for computers' aufgetaucht. Dies führte natürlich sofort zu Spekulationen, Apple könne der Kunde jener Displays sein.

HandBrake 0.9.3 - Versatile video encoder; convert any source to MPEG-4 and more. (Free)

HandBrake 0.9.3 - Versatile video encoder; convert any source to MPEG-4 and more. (Free): "

HandBrake 0.9.3

HandBrake is a GPL'd multiplatform, multithreaded video encoding tool.



  • Supported sources:

    • Any DVD-like source: VIDEO_TS folder, DVD image or real DVD (even encrypted)

    • PAL or NTSC

    • AC-3, LPCM or MPEG audio tracks



  • Outputs:

    • File format: MP4, AVI or OGM

    • Video: MPEG-4 or H.264 (1 or 2 passes or constant quantizer encoding)

    • Audio: AAC, MP3, Vorbis or AC-3 pass-through (supports encoding of several audio tracks)



  • Misc. features:

    • Chapter selection

    • Basic subtitle support (burned into the picture)

    • Integrated bitrate calculator

    • Picture deinterlacing, cropping and scaling

    • Grayscale encoding




WHAT'S NEW
Version 0.9.3:
  • Universal input HandBrake is no longer limited to DVDs: it will now accept practically any type of video as a source. This massive enhancement was achieved by tapping into the power of libavcodec and libavformat from the FFmpeg project.
  • Video quality The x264 project has really come into its own this year, and HandBrake 0.9.3 integrates the latest improvements to the H.264 encoding library. Picture quality has enhanced dramatically through the use of psychovisual rate distortion and adaptive quantization, and there have been significant speed optimizations.
  • Audio flexibility HandBrake now offers total control over multiple audio tracks.
  • No more internal DVD decryption Yeah, we know, no one reading this is going 'Oh wow, no more DVD decryption--what a great new feature!' but...deal. HandBrake will dynamically load VLC's copy of libdvdcss if you have it in your Applications folder in Mac OS X. We're not about to stop you from choosing to decrypt DVDs. If you're on a Mac, and you have VLC 0.9.x installed, you won't even notice the internal capability's gone.
  • Persistent queues When queueing up a bunch of videos to encode, you need no longer fear a crash in HandBrake's graphical interfaces. Queued jobs are cached to disk for safekeeping between sessions.
  • New, better organized presets (Be sure to run 'Update Built-In Presets' from the Presets menu!) The presets are now 'nested' in folders and have evolved. Notably, there is a new Apple 'Universal' preset, designed to play and look good doing so on anything from an iPod Nano to an AppleTV. There have been many changes to most of them. Please be aware that most presets now use different settings. This means most of them are not suited for benchmarking 0.9.3 against 0.9.2. For example, the AppleTV preset is slower because it is now quality based, and produces much more efficient output. The Normal preset uses psychovisual rate distortion. The High Profile presets use psychovisual trellising. All of these setting changes can influence encoding time and output file size.
    For comparison purposes, there are several presets in the Apple->Legacy folder (the old iPod High-Rez, the old AppleTV, and the old iPhone presets) which remain unchanged since 0.9.2.
  • Audio-video synchronization HandBrake should now keep lip-synch as well as a DVD player can.
  • Decomb filter HandBrake now offers a decomb filter, in the style of AviSynth's. It is a deinterlacer that can be left on all the time without degrading picture quality, because it only deinterlaces video when it visibly needs to be.
  • Multi-threaded deinterlacing The 'Slow' and 'Slower' filters, as well as the new decomb filter, will now take advantage of as many processors as you can throw at them.
  • 'Same as source framerate' really is the same as the source framerate HandBrake now, by default, passes through the exact video framerate of the source instead of smoothing to a constant rate, which could lead to frames being duplicated or dropped.
  • Theora video encoding HandBrake now can encode video using the Theora codec.
  • Updated libraries Besides x264, updated libraries include libsamplerate, libogg, xvidcore, libmpeg2, lame, faac, and ffmpeg's libavcodec, libavformat, and libswscale.
  • Massive improvements to all interfaces
    As hard as it might be to believe, the changes listed above are only the tip of the iceberg. A much longer list is available, but even that is only a brief summary. There have been well over 600 changes to HandBrake's code base since 0.9.2, including hundreds of bug fixes.

GlimmerBlocker 1.0 - A more stable ad-blocker, allowing Safari upgrades without crashes. (Free)

GlimmerBlocker 1.0 - A more stable ad-blocker, allowing Safari upgrades without crashes. (Free): "

GlimmerBlocker 1.0
GlimmerBlocker... The problem with other ad-blockers for Safari is that they are implemented as awful hacks: as an InputManager and/or ApplicationEnhancer. This compromises the stability of Safari and very often create problems when Apple releases a new version of Safari. GlimmerBlocker is implemented as an http proxy, so the stability of Safari isn’t compromised because it doesn’t use any hacks. It is even compatible with all other browsers.


You’ll always be able to upgrade Safari without breaking GlimmerBlocker (or waiting for a new release); and you’ll be able to upgrade GlimmerBlocker without upgrading Safari. This makes it much easier to use the beta versions of Safari and especially the nightly builds of WebKit. Because GlimmerBlocker doesn’t hack Safari, there is a few things it isn’t able to do: adding a block by right-clicking an image, stopping pop-unders, and filtering cookies from 3rd party sites. But you win a lot in stability, and GlimmerBlocker provides much easier methods for adding your own modifications to pages by adding css rules, pieces of Javascript or by transforming the html before Safari receives it. So I’ll hope you’re happy with the tradeoff.


If you can program in Javascript you’ll be able to add your own modification to pages. See the included filters for examples, e.g. adding a download link to YouTube.

Warum IBM Mark Papermaster nicht ziehen lassen will

"Papermaster könne eine neue Technologie mit der Bezeichnung 'Racetrack Memory' mit zu Apple nehmen, was gerade für den iPod-Bereich von großem Interesse wäre. Mit Racetrack Memory soll es möglich sein, weitaus mehr Daten auf einem Gerät wie dem iPod unterbringen zu können, zudem wird eine signifikante Steigerung der Akkulaufzeit angestrebt. Anstatt 40.000 Titel in der Hosentasche mitzuführen, sollen mit der neuen Technologie sogar bis zu 500.000 Titel auf einem iPod classic unterzubringen sein. Zwar benötigt niemand unterwegs so viel Musik, doch wäre der iPod dann in der Lage, noch die ganze Filmsammlung und weitere Daten aufzunehmen. Racetrack Memory verwendet den Eletronenspin, um Daten zu speichern. Dies ist der Beschreibung zufolge so effizient, dass ein tragbares Gerät nur alle paar Wochen aufgeladen werden müsste. "

Espionage 1.1.2 - Encryption app aims to replace FileVault. (Shareware)

Espionage 1.1.2 - Encryption app aims to replace FileVault. (Shareware): "

Espionage 1.1.2

Espionage is a revolutionary application that aims to replace FileVault.



Espionage is the only software that will let you encrypt individual folders and interact with them straight from the Finder! No longer is it necessary to encrypt your entire home folder just to protect your email, or chat histories.



Encrypting data unnecessarily slows your computer down, and for laptop users, can be a drain on battery life. Espionage solves this problem by letting you encrypt only what you want, and it does it while integrating directly with the Finder.



And Espionage takes particular care to integrate well with any backup application.



Just double-click on a folder and enter your password at the prompt to unlock. Right-click on it to re-lock. Folder encryption has never been this easy before.



And for users who just want to put a password on unimportant data without securely encrypting it, such as a folder full of hundreds of videos that they don't want their grandparents to see, Espionage has them covered. While securely encrypting folders is its chief purpose, Espionage can put a password on any folder in a flash without touching its contents.


WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.1.2:

  • NEW: support for encrypting folders over a network mount

  • NEW: ability to run Espionage on multiple user accounts

  • NEW: you can now rename a folder using 'Locate Missing Folder...'

  • FIXED: updated ispyd to remove unnecessary logging

  • FIXED: 'Locate Missing Item' menu item in File menu grayed out properly

  • FIXED: some issues with non-ASCII characters

  • FIXED: moving folder could cause Espionage to lose track of its password

  • FIXED: potential hang when locking a non-encrypted folder w/simultaneous access

  • IMPROVED: more informative logging

  • IMPROVED: restoring folders copies over extended attributes

  • IMPROVED: upon restore volume is made visible to improve robustness in case of error

  • IMPROVED: upon restore image is appended with date in case of existing image in parent

  • IMPROVED: one-shot notification explaining how to securely delete original folder

  • IMPROVED: uninstaller now deletes preferences too, resulting in a truly complete uninstall

  • IMPROVED: added instructions on how to fix error -1712

  • IMPROVED: error handling in installer

  • IMPROVED: Espionage won't give annoying redundant error if helper fails during operation

  • IMPROVED: more safety checks on what can be encrypted and what can't
