Snowtape Review: Who Needs Satellite Radio
Radio is a technology that has been around for a very long time. It has also evolved a lot. We now not only have radio that is broadcasted through radio waves, but we now have internet and satellite radio too. But the real future of radio is not in waves or from satellites, it is in the Internet. There is almost limit to how many stations there could be, albeit, not all of them can be good stations. Today I will be talking about an application for Mac that controls Internet radio in a beautiful way: Snowtape.

2009 Apple Design Awards
Every year at Apple’s WWDC (World Wide Developer’s Conference), awards called the Apple Design Awards are given to, well, in Apple’s opinion, the best designed apps. But in this case, design does not only mean GUI, it means the internals too. They are the beast, all-around designed apps. And because the App Store is officially out for the first time during a WWDC, there were app winners too.
μTorrent Review: Popular Windows Client Comes to Mac
For years Windows users have had access to the popular μTorrent client to download Linux ISOs and other large files. μTorrent is considered by many to be one of the better clients for the BitTorrent network, but it only recently became available for OS X in the past few months.

Star Walk Review: A Sky Map in Your Pocket
One of my favorite things to do on a clear sunny day is look up at the stars at night. It is amazing how many stars and even planets you can see. It makes it even more fun if you have a booklet telling you what stars and/or planets will be visible on specific nights. But, wouldn’t it be even nicer if you didn’t have to bring one of those booklets around with you (which are hard to read in the dark by the way). With Star Walk, this dream becomes a reality.

The iPhone has a limited selection of built in ringtones, and only select songs are available for purchase on iTunes as ringtones. Ringer, by Pixel Research Labs, was made to fix this problem. Ringer lets you create any unprotected song into a ringtone. Using the application you can browse your entire iTunes library and quickly create ringtones from audio. This doesn’t only apply to music, Ringer can use audio from videos too.
