Macworld with some great advice to free up some disk space: empty iPhoto’s trash. When you delete a photo from iPhoto, it isn’t completely deleted. Rather, much like the Finder, the photo is moved to the Trash section in the side bar. Right click on the Trash section and select Empty Trash from the contextual menu (it’s the only option).

1Password, the solid password and sensitive information vault for OS X, has been updated to 2.6.3 and offers a bunch of new features. The best of the new features is a fully browser-integrated autosave password slide down menu that replaces the old floating window and lets pages continue to load while you check some [...]
MacDent Pro lets dentists keep track of their appointments, prescriptions, digital X-rays and some other stuff. Not being a dentist, I can’t recommend it (it looks a bit old-school), but I can say that it was news to me that such software even exists.
Spaces, in 10.5.3, has some new functionality. I haven’t as of yet gotten into the app, but one of the major reasons why has been fixed. Check out the Daring Fireball article to read about what’s new (linked above).
What if you could automatically search out movie links in a webpage and open each one in its own QuickTime Player window?
