FarFinder 1.2.4

FarFinder... Access your Mac's files securely from anywhere in the world by web browser or iPhone, via an elegant, Mac-like interface and your own URL

FarFinder brings you remote access to your Mac's files from any computer: Mac, Windows or Linux, using only a web browser.

Even better, the specialised iPhone interface means you really do have access to your Mac anytime, anywhere.

FarFinder provides the most Mac-like multi-platform remote access available, with an interface almost indistinguishable from the 'real' Finder. You can browse the contents of your Mac, download and upload files, and more - all from within any popular web browser.

You also have the full power of Spotlight searches to find files quickly, and like on the Mac, Finder searches let you be more specific about where to look. Elsewhere you can pay three times the price for this feature alone.

FarFinder also lets you keep an eye on what's going on at home by taking a photo through your Mac's built-in camera.

Try FarFinder and find out why Macworld UK described it as 'Better Than Back to My Mac'.

RipIt 1.1.3 - Gets your movies off DVD and onto your Mac. (Shareware)

RipIt 1.1.3 - Gets your movies off DVD and onto your Mac. (Shareware): "

RipIt 1.1.3

RipIt... Movies are great, but discs are a pain. RipIt gets your movies off the disc and onto your Mac, where it's easier to find, organize and play them.

Why Rip Your DVDs?

• Use your laptop longer!
  
  Laptops use a lot more juice when they're spinning a DVD and a hard drive.



• Easily organize your movies!
  
  Moving files around on your computer is a lot easier than alphabetizing shelves full of DVDs.



• Find movies faster!
  
  Use your Mac's built in search tool, Spotlight, to find a movie in your collection... instantly.



• Peace of mind!
  
  Movies stored safely in your computer can't get lost, scratched or broken.



• Simplify entertainment on the go!
  
  Why carry around bulky DVD cases or disc wallets when you don't have to?

WHAT'S NEW

Version 1.1.3:

• Added an option (off by default) to automatically begin ripping when a disc is inserted.


• Added an option (on by default) to badge the dock icon with the time remaining.


• Fixed a problem that caused a crash while checking DiscIdent.


• Fixed a problem with some MacBooks when trying to rip discs with region codes that don't match the drive.


• Improved the handling of 'nav-buttons' within the Rip engine.

REQUIREMENTS

Mac OS X 10.5 or later, DVD drive.
