BumpTop Presents: Your Desktop in 3D (Well Sort Of)
Bump Technologies Inc. brings you the same 3D desktop environment you saw on Windows last year, in a new and multitouch capable version for the Mac.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you never had to type in your password, but your Mac was still locked up so people couldn’t access it? That’s just what Airlock, from The M.H.A. is for. Airlock is a new Mac application that locks your computer when you walk away from it, and unlocks it when you come back.
