iQuip
iQuip:
iQuip will let you easily add notes or quotes to your login window. It’s mostly written to give you a little quote or fortune, but you can also use it for something more important. It might be a great idea to put your contact information on the login screen. Prior to a training or if you lose it, your contact information will be right there for all to see.
What a great FREEBIE!!! Sorry, PC folks...this one is for Mac OS X only.

Zamzar - Free online file conversion
Zamzar - Free online file conversion
Zamzar, a free online file conversion tool, launched last week. Like a similar tool, Media Convert, Zamzar allows users to upload a file and have it converted into a number of formats. Common uses for Zamzar include converting PDF documents to Word, iTunes AAC files to MP3, and Flash (flv) files to MP4 for iPod use. Up to five files can be converted simultaneously.
The process takes a few minutes - Zamzar emails a link to the converted file when it is done. Note, however, that Zamzar is not able to convert DRM’d files. The maximum file size is 100 MB, but there are no limits on the number of files converted.

Yreux Software : iChartwork
Yreux Software : iChartwork
iChartwork is a fun little thing (and I’m surprised it isn’t built into iChat.) This app “will sync your avatar on iChat and/or Adium and the artwork of the song playing in iTunes.” So, if you have Will Smith blaring from your iTunes collection, his album cover will be your icon in iChat.
For the Mac only of course!

Aptana: The Web IDE
Aptana: The Web IDE: "The Web IDE"
Aptana is an open source Web IDE, an application for creating web sites — like Dreamweaver. It includes support for HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, and XML. If you forget a Javascript command, use Aptana’s built-in reference manual. Other features include tabs, a debugger, syntax highlighting, and multiple panes. Aptana is available for Mac, Windows, and Linux, and as an Eclipse plugin. If you design or develop web sites, give Aptana a try.
I may just do that! It looks clean and neat.

AppDelete
AppDelete: For the MAC only
AppDelete is a way to delete an application and all of it’s associated items. Just drag and drop an app and off you go.
I like that it puts all of the items into a folder and puts it in your Trash. That way, you can still take a look to be sure that it didn’t take anything it wasn’t supposed to take.
