atMonitor has the following features:

• CPU Monitoring [Load and Temp]
• GPU Monitoring [Load and Temp]
• VRAM and FPS Monitoring
  
• Hard Drive I/O
  
• Network I/O
  
• Monitoring of the top 3 resource  hungry apps.
• Logging and saving of all data to XML files.

One of the key features of atMonitor is high level of customization allowed. Layout options include horizontal and vertical layouts, different font sizes, transparency and more. In addition, you can choose to utilize atMonitor’s Dock icon to display one resource of your choice. If you prefer, you can choose to have atMonitor display its “activity viewer” in the menu bar to save screen real estate.

Some features require a newer graphics card and atMonitor currently requires OS X 10.5

Beak [UB][10.5] has many exciting and useful features. I’ll try and give you a good idea of what they are in this post. If you want to learn about every little feature beaks offers I really suggest you give it a try for yourself. Download Beak Here.

At launch Beak will ask you for your user name and password. After successfully logging in, Beak brings up the “Tweets” tab which displays all of your followers tweets. The top of Beak is dedicated to 6 different functions. “Tweets” “Mentions” “Messages” “Faves” “Search” and “Stats”.

• From the “Tweets” tab you can reply, retweet, and favorite other tweets. Hitting the reply button causes beak to drop down a window in which you can reply.

• The “Mentions” tab of course displays other tweets which mention your Twitter name.

• The “Messages” tab allows you to view your direct messages. (Composing of direct messages and new tweets is done using two buttons on the bottom of Beak)

• The “Faves” tab allows you to view messages which you have starred or fave’d.

• The “Search” tab allows you to search twitter.

• The “Stats” tab tracks URL Click-Through stats

The bottom of Beak has two different buttons. One for creating a new tweet, and one for sending a direct message.

You can follow the progress of Beak by following @mike9r on Twitter.

Beak is still a development preview, not a final release.

1. Faster wake-up and shut-down times. Decreased wake-up times are always a welcome feature. Faster shutdowns also means more saved time.
2. Re-written Finder. The Finder was completely re-written to take advantage of new features in Snow Leopard, not to mention the inclusion of 64-bit support
3. Smaller footprint. This is one aspect that I feel doesn’t get enough attention. No one likes bloated software and Snow Leopard comes in at a full %50 smaller then OS X Leopard. Smaller footprint means more free space and increased efficiency.
4. QuickTime X. This new version of QuickTime delivers more efficient media playback, HTTP-based live streaming, and greater color accuracy. I have been using VLC for the last few years but Quicktime X may just win me back over. It’s new minimalistic interface is a welcomed refreshment
5. More reliable disk eject. Snow Leopard improves the reliability of ejecting discs and external drives. Albeit slightly insignificant, this is something that drives my crazy quiet often and I’m glad to see that this issue was addressed.

While I can’t pick any one thing that I like best, the implementation of 64-bit code and the smaller footprint are truly great advancements for OS X.

In order to get more feedback from developers, we have early developer channel versions of Google Chrome for Mac OS X and Linux, but whatever you do, please DON’T DOWNLOAD THEM! Unless of course you are a developer or take great pleasure in incomplete, unpredictable, and potentially crashing software.

How incomplete? So incomplete that, among other things , you won’t yet be able to view YouTube videos, change your privacy settings, set your default search provider, or even print.

Meanwhile, we’ll get back to trying to get Google Chrome on these platforms stable enough for a beta release as soon as possible!

This info was taken from the Chrome developers blog. As you have read it is still very unstable. But if your anything like me you have been waiting long enough and your ready to Try it now!
