Detox Safari Extension 1.1 - Automatically expand shortened t.co links.. (Free)

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:31:50 EST

Detox Safari Extension automatically expands shortened t.co links on the Twitter site.

Ever wonder why links you find via Twitter don't show up in your browser history and aren't suggested by autocomplete in the url bar? The t.co link shortener serves known browser user agents an HTML page containing a JavaScript or meta refresh redirect (instead of the standard Location header) so that Twitter can stake itself out as the referrer when coming from third-party clients. This confuses Safari.

Stats are cool and all but only when they don't break the experience for your users.

Version 1.1:

Now when you hit a t.co redirect page (from a native client or a direct message from Mail.app) the destination url is added to the document title making the destination url appear in your history and url autocomplete suggestions.

X-Plane 10.04 Beta 2 - Ultra-realistic flight simulator.. (Updater)

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:59:59 EST

X-Plane is the world's most comprehensive, powerful flight simulator, and has the most realistic flight model available for personal computers.

Welcome to the world of props, jets, single- and multi-engine airplanes, as well as gliders, helicopters and VTOLs such as the V-22 Osprey and AV8-B Harrier.

X-Plane comes with subsonic and supersonic flight dynamics, sporting aircraft from the Bell 206 Jet-Ranger helicopter and Cessna 172 light plane to the supersonic SR-71 and Space Shuttle. X-Plane comes with 35 aircraft spanning the aviation industry (and history), and several thousand more are freely downloadable from the internet. (See www.X-Plane.org as a good place to start).

X-Plane scenery is world-wide, with scenery for the entire planet Earth between 74 degrees north to 60 degrees south latitude. We also have MARS scenery! (thanks to the Mars Orbiting Laser Altimeter, which mapped that planet's elevation). On Earth, you can land at any of over 33,000 airports, as well as test your mettle on aircraft carriers, helipads on building tops, frigates that pitch and roll in the waves, and oil rigs.

Weather is variable from clear skies and high visibility to thunderstorms with controllable wind, wind shear, turbulence, and microbursts! Rain, snow and clouds are available for an instrument flying challenge, and thermals are available for the gliders! Real weather conditions can be downloaded from the internet, allowing you to fly in the actual weather that currently exists at the location of flight!

X-Plane also has detailed failure-modeling, with multitudes of systems that can be failed manually or randomly, when you least expect it! You can fail instruments, engines, flight controls, landing gear, or dozens of other systems at any moment.

While X-Plane is the world's most COMPREHENSIVE flight sim, your purchase also comes with Plane-Maker (to create your own airplanes) Airfoil-Maker (allowing users to create airfoil performance profiles), and Weather Briefer (to get a weather briefing before the flight if you use real weather conditions downloaded from the internet).

X-Plane is also extremely customizable, allowing you to easily create textures, sounds, and instrument panels for your own airplanes that you design or the planes that come with the sim.

X-Plane's accuracy (in flight model), scope (in aircraft and terrain coverage), versatility (in aircraft type and weather conditions), add-on programs (in aircraft and scenery editors), customizability, downloadable aircraft, and downloadable scenery makes it the ULTIMATE flight simulation experience for Macintosh, Windows, and Linux platforms.

BE SURE TO TURN ON THE >BETA< option in the installer before you run it to get the beta!

The demo contains a limited scenery area to keep the download size reasonable. It will run for 10 minutes before it begins to ignore the user's input, at which point the simulator must be restarted to fly more.

Version 10.04 Beta 2:

All buttons on the FMS's should work properly even if there are two different FMS's in the airplane.
Wind-shear and turbulence model refined a little more to be more complex in it's randomness, and not always quite so strong in what are requested to be moderate conditions, and to change in a reasonable way with altitude. This should help improve wind and turbulence modeling, especially with Real-Weather turned on.
X-15 drop and Space-Shuttle-carry missions should work properly now.
Right-mouse drag to look around in 3-D cockpit command-look view, and mouse scroll wheel zooms. This is a pretty convenient way to look around the 3-D cockpits. (This works in "command" look mode, not mouse look mode! So when you are not right-mouse dragging, the view stays still and you can manipulate the 3-d panel.)
Track-IR functions in ALL 3-d cockpit views now... It has WORKED for years, but is now easier to find since it engages in ALL 3-d cockpit views, not just one.
Cool new feature for QuickTime movies: Movie quality! Set it high or low depending on how good you want it to look... and how much disk space you want to burn!
External visuals should sync-up faster in the multi-machine setups, which should save some time in real flight-training scenarios.
Landing lights, spotlights, and spotlight aiming-angles all go from master machine to external visuals now.
Plane-Maker system screen: Option to auto-load with current values, or not, airspeed, vertical speed, and altitude when a new autopilot mode is engaged.
Visibility tuned to change with altitude in a more accurate way to follow the reported weather more closely.
AI planes should be better about holding desired altitude now, resulting in less annoyed air traffic controllers.
Fixed: incorrect warnings about missing scenery
Fixed (partly): the ocean shading should have fewer sharp lines on it. Far view shading of the ocean is still a work in progress...more color tuning in a future beta.
Fixed: wing flex now works - X-Plane was incorrectly zeroing out wing-flex on some v10 planes.
Fixed: sharp turns in taxiway lines now render correctly at KSEA and other airports.
Fixed: right button on Linux is now the "right" button, not the scroll wheel itself.
Fixed: plugins won't crash if they try to read the weather from XPluginStart

Facades:

Roof behaviors now match v9 for legacy facades
A bunch of new features to control the exact appearance of facade-attached objects - docs coming soon!
New facade features: attached objects on facades appear and disappear with "objects" rendering setting for better performance.

Typingstats 1.1 - Makes typing fun with achievements and statistics.. (Commercial)

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:22:48 EST

Typingstats makes typing fun again. How? By adding achievements fun sounds and statistics of course!

This app records how many times you type what key. You can view those keystrokes in a nice graph view. Using this you could even predict which key of your keyboard is going to break the first. Normal apple keyboards can take about 5 million keystrokes per key.

The app also has a proper typing speed measuring tool. Those online typing speed tests never tell the truth as you are typing text that you did not come up with. Your actual speed usually is a lot higher than what those tests tell you. You can customize in what format you want to view the typing speed, words or keystrokes per minute or per second.

Furthermore the app has click sounds. This gives you more feedback while typing and it is good fun, as there are several ( including a laser ! ) fun sounds. More sounds are planned in updates.

The last great feature of this app is the online leader board. I already have over 1 million keystrokes, lets see how much you can get!

Version 1.1:

Added a heat-map to graphically view which keys you hit the most! 
Added an option to hide the spacebar as most pressed key, so you can find out what it would be without that big monster 
Some improvements throughout the app 
Fixed a bug in the most pressed key feature 
Fixed a bug where Typingstats could crash on a wonky network connection

You also have several choices: Delete the items, log only the items, or archive (copy) the items to a .zip file for safekeeping or reinstall at a later date. The items you delete will be logged and then you can move them quickly to the trash by clicking on the links in the AppDelete Lite Info panel and revealing them in Finder.

There are various options to make your AppDelete Lite experience complete: Quick search panels to help choose items for deletion, various filters to help you search by date/size or even clean up old PPC apps, an Orphans feature to search for and delete orphaned files, Trash Monitoring so that simply throwing an app in the trash will activate AppDelete, and more...Try it today!

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:21:24 EST

Raskin is an alternative desktop interface for Mac OS X. It simplifies interaction with your computer by placing your documents on a zoomable surface, avoiding the clutter of multiple windows. Raskin makes finding, organizing, previewing, and opening documents seamless and time-saving. Raskin is named after and inspired by the work of Macintosh visionary Jef Raskin.

See more with Raskin
Forget digging through deep folder structures or remembering file names. With Raskin the contents of your files and folders are displayed openly with full previews - zoom-in for a closer look.

Interact with your Mac in a whole new way
Use simple trackpad gestures, like on the iPhone or iPad, to zoom and pan your way around the contents of your computer.
Raskin also lets you zoom away from whatever application you're in, back into the Raskin Surface so you can see the location of the file you're working on and related documents saved nearby.

Complement Finder and Exposé
Quickly review and organize your visual files - photos, graphics, presentations, and artwork on the Raskin Surface with seamless zooming of all file types. No importing necessary. And Raskin's "Bird's Eye Windows" shortcut let's you zoom-in on and get details of all open application windows.

View large photo sets instantly
Handling photography is a snap with Raskin. Just insert the memory card or connect the hard disk containing your photos and you're ready to start reviewing and making selections. And since the Raskin Surface is fully interactive you can immediately group, arrange, rename or rate them using color labels.

Simplify your design and editorial workflow
Raskin is the perfect tool for designers or anyone that handles artwork on the Mac. Because it presents all your documents visually, you won't waste time hunting for stuff and you'll have more time to do what you do best.

Stay organized and productive
Raskin maintains Finder's built-in file and folder structure to help you stay organized and it also helps you intuitively remember the location of files thanks to your spatial memory - a massive time-saver.
