Looking for a professional, multitrack audio workstation
under OS X? This entry from BIAS, while maybe not the most
attractive Mac app on the block, gives you some hefty
editing functionality--whether you're working in broadcast,
film, video, or any other multimedia environment. The big
brother to BIAS' cheaper Deck LE, Deck 3.5 lets you process
soundtracks, edit dialogue, spot effects, and record
ADR-style voice-overs. Deck also supports surround mixing and
up to four real-time effects plug-ins per track for music
production. A good value, and one of the first of its kind
to hit OS X, this midrange app deserves a listen. You're on

Designed completely from scratch to work with OS X, Captain
FTP is a new client that makes finding, uploading, and
downloading files online easier than ever. Since it makes
full use of OS X's multithreaded multitasking capabilities,
you can set up as many simultaneous connections as you like
without slowing down other work on your Mac too much. The
program supports drag-and-drop operation and resuming
interrupted downloads. It also sports a built-in address
book, and integrated BBEdit links. The interface deserves
awards for clarity and good looks. Grab files in style:

One of the most frustrating things about off-the-shelf
organizer applications is that they try to force everyone to
keep track of things in the same way. AquilaCalendar is
refreshingly different: you can design your own calendar
windows, choosing from a plethora of basic options (day,
week, month, year, several months together, and so on), customize
your calendar with colors and fonts, and more. To-do lists
and notes-to-self can be added to calendars or you can add a
handy clock and holiday markers, among other options. The
interface fits with the OS X design theme, and makes getting
organized no more difficult than it has to be. Get organized:

Before you spend the big bucks on a HTML editor, make sure
you check out Tex-Edit Plus. This handy little editor offers

Remember the classic arcade game Bomberman? Even if you
don't, you should take this remake of the old classic for a
spin. Maneuver your way through a maze of corridors while
setting off bombs to clear a path for your escape. You'll
also need to pick up coins for extra points and stay clear
of those nasty aliens to stay alive. Blast your way through
eight alien-infested areas, each one divided into 10
subzones, and kick the Big Alien Boss back to where he came
