Fernsehen 1.8.10 - German TV channel schedule widget. (Free): "
Fernsehen gives you easy access to the german TV program provided by TVToday. See what's currently on, look for upcoming shows, search for movies starring your favourite actor or read a short description about a movie you're not yet sure to watch. And since the widget caches all the data, you can even do this offline.
But there is more. Simply click the alarm clock icon next to a show and you'll be reminded shortly before it begins; if you wish, you can have your alerts delivered by Growl. Switch the channel of your Elgato EyeTV or Formac`s Watchandgo, or program it to record a desired show with one click.
There are lots of preferences. Group the channels as you like or create filters and the widget will remind you automagically of your favourite shows. Change the size of the widget and accomodate the fontsize, or click the titlebar to collapse the whole widget (Try holding [shift] while you do that...).

fruux 0.8 - Syncs your AddressBook, Calendar, and Tasks between different Macs. (Free): "
(Via MacUpdate - Mac OS X.)
"Ein neuer deutscher Web-Dienst, den Studenten aus Münster gegründet haben, schickt sich nun an, genau diese Zielgruppe anzusprechen. Fruux ist eine Alternative zu MobileMe, die derzeit kostenlos angeboten wird und sich allein auf die Synchronisationsfunktion konzentriert. Mit einer eigenen Client-Software, die sich in die Systemeinstellungen von Mac OS X integriert, lassen sich Adressbücher, Kalender und Aufgabenlisten mit dem Internet und verschiedenen Macs abgleichen. Das Werkzeug, das derzeit in einer Betaversion für Leopard (Mac OS 10.5.5 und später) vorliegt, soll bald auch Bookmarks und weitere Einstellungen übertragen können. Zudem ist eine iPhone-Anbindung und eine Web-Applikation geplant, über die der Dienst auch ohne Mac verwendet werden kann."

X-Plane 9.21-RC2 - Fly an airplane in this OpenGL-based 3D environment. (Demo): "
X-Plane is the world's most comprehensive, powerful flight simulator, and has the most realistic flight model available for personal computers.
Welcome to the world of props, jets, single- and multi-engine airplanes, as well as gliders, helicopters and VTOLs such as the V-22 Osprey and AV8-B Harrier.
X-Plane comes with subsonic and supersonic flight dynamics, sporting aircraft from the Bell 206 Jet-Ranger helicopter and Cessna 172 light plane to the supersonic SR-71 and Space Shuttle. X-Plane comes with about 40 aircraft spanning the aviation industry (and history), and several thousand more are freely downloadable from the internet. (See www.X-Plane.org as a good place to start).
X-Plane scenery is world-wide, with scenery for the entire planet Earth between -60 and +74 degrees lattiude. We also have MARS scenery! (thanks to the Mars Orbiting Laser Altimeter, which mapped that planet's elevation) You can land at any of over 18,000 airports, as well as test your mettle on aircraft carriers, helipads on building tops, frigates that pitch and roll in the waves, and oil rigs.
Weather is variable from clear skies and high visibility to thunderstorms with controllable wind, wind shear, turbulence, and microbursts! Rain, snow and clouds are available for an instrument flying challenge, and thermals are available for the gliders! Real weather conditions can be downloaded from the internet, allowing you to fly in the actual weather that currently exists!
X-Plane also has detailed failure-modeling, with 35 systems that can be failed manually or randomly, when you least expect it! You can fail instruments, engines, flight controls, and landing gear at any moment.
While X-Plane is the world's most COMPREHENSIVE flight sim, your purchase also comes with Plane-Maker (to create your own airplanes) World-Maker (to create your own scenery), and Weather Briefer (to get a weather briefing before the flight if you use real weather conditions downloaded from the net).
X-Plane is also extremely customizable, allowing you to easily create textures, sounds, and instrument panels for your own airplanes that you design or the planes that come with the sim.
X-Plane's accuracy (in flight model), scope (in aircraft and terrain coverage), versatility (in aircraft type and weather conditions), add-on programs (in aircraft and scenery editors), user-customizability, downloadable aircraft, and downloadable scenery makes it the ULTIMATE flight simulation experience for Macintosh.
