iStat, A Must Have Download.

Ever since I got an Apple computer I noticed that there wasn't any diagnostic performance monitoring software readily available like with my old *shutters* dell.
After aimlessly wandering this complex series of tubes and wires I eventually came across iStat. If you're looking for an application to keep you updated with all the cool things your computers doing that very second than I wouldn't look much further, well maybe finish this reading this article then you can stop looking.

Here's what the developer says about iStat:
Realtime CPU graphs and a list of the top 5 CPU resource hogs. CPU usage can be tracked by individual cores or with all cores combined, to save menubar space.
Memory stats for your menubar, shown as used and free memory or wired, active, inactive and free. The memory dropdown menu shows a list of the top 5 memory hogs, as well as other useful info
iStat Menu’s realtime graph will keep your finger on the pulse of what data’s being sent and received for all network connections.
See used or free space for multiple disks in your menubar. More detail for all your disks is only a click away.
Detailed disk I/O in your menubar, including a variety of different read and write indicators.
Realtime listings of the sensors in your Mac, including temperatures, hard drive temperatures (where supported), fans, voltages, current and power. Temps can be displayed as Celcius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin.

What I say to that:
Friggen sweet. go get it here.

OS X Snow Leopard's Spaces.

Ok, so after I installed Snow Leopard today I decided to mess around with more of the user settings. I really like the scrollable stacks the most. Well, that along with the 64-bit kernels and speed. I'll be writing an article about Snow Leopard tomorrow. Now I want to post up some pics of what I recently started using. Expose's Spaces! I never realized the potential of keeping things organized when using these extra screens almost limitless potential.

I put ical,Things, and 1password all in one space. No more windows everywhere, just nice easily navigateable spaces.


Then I put iTunes and my most used playlist in the next space.


The next space I use for the Adobe CS4 suite.


Safari takes the last of the 4 designated spaces.


After having all these spaces easily accessible I realized how beneficial Dashboard really is.


Pretty organized If i do say so myself.

Hulu's Standalone Player for Mac OS X!

Basic Jist Click Here to Download

"Hulu Desktop is a lean-back viewing experience for your personal computer. It features a sleek new look that's optimized for use with standard Windows Media Center remote controls or Apple remote controls, allowing you to navigate Hulu's entire library with just six buttons. For users without remotes, the application is keyboard and mouse-enabled. Hulu Desktop is a downloadable application and will work on PCs and Macs. It will initially launch as a beta product during which we plan to gather and incorporate user feedback to improve the service."

The main reason why I downloaded this application is beacause when you run two monitors off any Mac as soon as you have the show fullscreen in one monitor and decide to click back into the other monitor to multitask, the original fullscreened monitor goes back to being just a web page, not fullscreen. It's very annoying and I'm sure some other people have run into this problem as well. So to make everything all better you can download the program and still watch fullscreened shows on one monitor and say run photoshop on the other. When I found this out It made multitasking extraordinarily better.
Hope It helps someone out there, if it did please comment.
