LibreOffice 3.4.4 - Free office suite by members of the former OpenOffice.org community.. (Free): "

LibreOffice is an office suite (word processor, spreadsheet, presentations, drawing tool) compatible with other major office suites.

The Document Foundation is coordinating development and maintenance of this OpenOffice.org fork.

Version 3.4.4:

• Redesigned Move/Copy Sheet dialog (Edit->Sheet->Move/Copy) to improve its ergonomics. (Joost Eekhoorn, Christoph Noack)
• Improve HTML export with an image thumbnail gallery of the slides on the contents page. (Julien Nabet, Michael Meeks)
• Fonts which are tuned for use with a specific script, e.g. Arabic, Hebrew, Malayalam, etc. now show an additional preview of some sample text in the target script. (Caolán McNamara, Red Hat, Inc.)
• Color Charts: Adding and Removing color charts is now possible from: Tools->Options->Charts->Default Colors (Rob Snelders)
• Named range as data source: With 3.4 it is now possible to use a named range as the data source for DataPilot.
• Text Rendering: Linux text-rendering improvements. Text is now drawn via Cairo with the same subpixeling options as other Cairo-using apps. The outcome is that text in LibreOffice is rendered the same as the rest of your desktop.

Playback 1.8.9 - Stream media to PS3, Xbox 360 and more.. (Shareware)

Playback 1.8.9 - Stream media to PS3, Xbox 360 and more.. (Shareware): "

Playback allows you to share your media with any Playstation 3, Xbox 360, or other UPnP compatible device. It automatically integrates with iTunes, iPhoto, Aperture, Adobe Lightroom 2 & 3, Photobooth, EyeTV, and more. You can share all content from these applications or choose specific playlists and albums.

Playback can also share media stored in folders or even make entire disks available to your Playstation 3 or Xbox 360. By default, Playback will share almost any content on your system. No configuration required! If you prefer to tinker, you'll appreciate Playback's built-in access control list (ACL) and bandwidth throttling. The ACL allows you to control which devices have access to your media. Bandwidth throttling limits the transfer rate from your computer to your UPnP device so others on your network can still surf the web and check their email.

Of course, if speed is your thing, we've got that too. Playback was engineered for extreme speed. Your media is served via nginx. Nginx is known for its high performance, stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption. Nginx powers several high-visibility sites, such as WordPress, Hulu, Github, Ohloh, SourceForge and TorrentReactor.

Other features include Growl notifications, on-screen thumbnails powered by QuickLook, and much more!

Note to all PS3/Xbox users: Playback has built-in support for HD MKV files. No transcoding required!

Version 1.8.9:

• New: Improved support for WAV files.
• Fixed: Issue with modification dates on the PS3.
• Other: Various tweaks, improvements, and fixes.
• Other: Demo period reset for all users.

• Mac OS X 10.5 or later
• Any Playstation 3, Xbox 360, or other UPnP compatible device

NetSpot 1.1 - Wireless survey tool.. (Free)

NetSpot 1.1 - Wireless survey tool.. (Free): "

NetSpot is a simple and accessible wireless survey tool for Mac users, which allows collecting, visualizing and analyzing Wi-Fi data using any MacBook.

NetSpot can visualize your wireless network by building a visual Wi-Fi map. It will let you see dead zones without coverage and place hotspots (Access Points) correctly. Using the visualized map of collected wireless data you will also see channels' load and will be able to decide how to optimize your Wi-Fi site better.

NetSpot is a powerful analyzer of Wi-Fi coverage. Just in a couple of clicks you can load your area map, point your location on the map and NetSpot starts collecting Wi-Fi data around you. It will gather all the needed information for radio signal leakages analyzing, noise sources discovering, access points effective location, etc.

You can also use NetSpot as a powerful wireless network planning tool. Load a map, collect wireless site survey data, build a heatmap of your network and you are ready to build the optimal configuration of a new Wi-Fi network and wise radio channels usage with minimal signal to noise ratio.

Version 1.1:

• Great simple map drawing toolset: now you can draw your map right inside of NetSpot, if you don't have one at hand;
• Now it's much simpler to load a map, as we added a simple filter in the Open dialog, so you know which files to look for, and which file types are supported;
• Option to use a blank map for your survey;
• Now you can duplicate zones: map image, scale and survey borders are copied to a new zone in your project;
• Rename zones any time during the survey, no need to name them right away; plus zones are automatically renamed when duplicated;
• Filtered selection of networks: only accessible networks (open or protected ones you can connect to);
• Added "Signal to interference ratio" visualization;
• New app icon and installer design; plus new icons for map management buttons;
• Network marker now reflects its security status;
• Distances can now be specified either in meters or feet (default units are based on your local settings);
• Tooltips with additional network info in popovers on the map;
• Undo last scanned point using hotkey (CMD+z);
• Export area map you created in NetSpot in drawing mode;
• Now you can control the algorithms of AP detection depending on their signal strength (AP detection proximity);
• Optionally show/hide AP names on a map
