It’s giveaway time! Now that you have had a chance to read about what Overflow can do, some of you now have a chance to see what it can do for you! Stunt Software has kindly agreed to giveaway 3 licenses of Overflow, to (do the math…) 3 lucky people! The winners have been chosen, so hit the jump to see if one of them is you.

Although we still think it’s a great app, Overflow has been said to have become somewhat obsolete with the introduction of Stacks in Leopard, so make sure you read our post from yesterday Is Stacks competition for Overflow?

Although Thunderbird has been around for a while, we haven’t covered it here at MacApper. With most commercial applications, and applications that Apple bundles with the Mac OS, there is a free alternative. This is no different for the Mail client of many names (Apple Mail, Mail, Mail.app). Although Mail is great, I think Thunderbird takes it to another level. Coming from Mozilla, the same developers who brought us Firefox, this is not surprising.

I just recently found out about an application launcher by the name Overflow from Stunt Software. Like many people, I already used Quicksilver for my application launching and more. Nonetheless, I decided I would give Overflow the chance it deserved.

Overflow and Quicksilver have the same ideas to begin with, but once you look deeper in, they go their separate ways. Quicksilver is “a unified, extensible interface for working with applications, contacts, music, and other data” as quoted from Blacktree’s website. While Overflow, on the other hand, is designed solely to launch apps, which is why it is much better than Quicksilver.

Solitaire XL is one of the better Solitaire games you will ever find; it’s certainly the best on a Mac. If you were a Windows user before making the switch to the Mac platform, chances are you used to play Solitaire every now and then. On the whole, Windows Solitaire is well done, simple, and does no more than what’s needed. If you’re looking for a Solitaire game that could rival the Windows version, look no further, because this is it.

X-Moto is a game I found, while searching around for something to waste my time with. It supports Mac, Windows, and Linux. The Mac version seems to always be a bit behind the other two, but I was playing with the new version 0.2.7, and I am quite impressed.

It is definitely on its way to becoming a great game and there was a huge tech leap between the last version and this one. New textures, sounds, levels, less bugs, and more. I guarantee, once you start playing, you can’t quit until you have played at least 30 minutes. X-Moto sucks away your time, but it sure is a fun ride.
