News: New App Store on the Block
It was to be expected that with the success of Apple’s App Store, that others of its type would follow. A number of mobile app stores have launched, but IDFusion’s Bodega is one of the first to launch for the desktop. With roughly 150 apps at launch, a number of big names have signed on-board, let’s take a first look at the Bodega App Store.
Baseline 1.5 Released
Disk space is a very important issue for all. A lot of us basically ‘live’ on our computers, so we don’t want to see that we have such low disk space that we can’t do anything. Well, with bigger hard drives, this is less of an issue, but you would still like to know if there was some space you could get back, wouldn’t you? A year ago we talked about an app called Baseline that did exactly that. A major upgrade, 1.5, has just been released, bringing in one major feature: Multiple File Deletion.
Technical Issues
UPDATE: Everything should be fixed now. Expect us to return to a normal schedule. If you see any more problems, please let us know!
Please excuse the missing images, we are having some technical issues and are currently working to sort them out. We appreciate you stopping by and hope to see you again!

Introducing MacApper 4.0
We have been working hard over the past few months with our new parent company, Escalate Media, to completely revamp and renew MacApper. As you can see, we have a completely new design, however, the relaunch is not just superficial. To start we have added a rating system for all of our reviews. The rating system includes a letter grade as well as pros and cons of the application.
