- yourowndisaster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11What spam, im actually mirroring the website. How excatly am i spamming.
There aren't any add on site, no banners, just plain link to the mirror copy. Nothing else. - mpancha, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7@Frankie4Fingers - actually quite the opposite. Blogs shouldn't be promoted on sites like Digg. News, articles, sites of interest... those should.
Granted this is "just a list of apps", but to the apple community, and possibly others, this is an interesting read..... that's why it was put in the apple section. - skoles, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Yea, but if you're accessing it through the menubar and not invoking it through a keyboard shortcut then you're missing out on a lot.
- Schwa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I clicked on the Quicksilver icon to search Google for a way to program 911 into my phone as 347569*.
- Taurus084, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1There is a much better free menu bar alarm clock out there. It is called Alarm Clock 2. Check it out at http://www.robbiehanson.com/alarmclock/
- trendspotter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If you don't want to pay for MenuCalendarClock (and just use it as a drop-down calendar and date icon in the menubar), you have to click "YES" to Disable features you have to pay for. These features are iCal (or Entourage) events, to-do's, etc.
I used MCC for a while without paying and had no problems, I eventually paid and now I get iCal events in tool-tips, to-do's, and agenda view in addition to the drop-down calendar. Free or paid version are worth a try, imo... - marcusramberg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Lots of launcher/menubar apps here:
http://osx.iusethis.com/tag/launcher - blatherskyte, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Nor does it include Proxi...available as a menubar app.
- skoles, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5YouControl's iTunes menubar feature is nice. Let's you pause, skip & select playlists from the menubar.
It was free last I checked, you only needed to send an email to get the serial #.
http://www.yousoftware.com/itunes/itunes.php - MikeSD34, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3I find MenuCalendarClock very handy, despite the fact that it's not free. I'll recommend that any day of the week.
- adinb, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4It does display a menubar item (only, if configured), so I think it would actually qualify for this list.
- jonst52, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Surprisingly, it doesn't include my favorite clock, wClock.
But it's a very nice list, nonetheless. Lots of apps I didn't know.
Dugg. - yourowndisaster, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Oh well in that case i apologise for taking it the wrong way.
- DaMacGuy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Another good menubar item is OSX Planet. You control it through the menubar, but it uses one or more of your desktops to show natural events (earthquakes over X on the Richter scale, hurricanes, volcanos, etc). Really useful if you need to track these kind of things.
- DocDEB, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1digged to death already.
- adinb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1It's also missing menuet, my current fav iTunes controller/Last.FM client.
- fredsterss, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1unfortunately the majority of apps listed date from 2003.
- wrongplanet, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I stumbled upon this a while ago:
http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/menu.jeweledplatypus.org/
Very cool. I've got the Digg dashboard widget but I can definitely see the appeal for menbar digg. - skoles, on 10/12/2007, -7/+5QuickSilver isn't a menu bar tool.
- yourowndisaster, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2http://www.yourowndisaster.com/mirror/menu.jeweledplatypus.org/
- Cymrubeats, on 10/12/2007, -8/+6My favourite is the one where you click on it and your face explodes like a bucket of hammers, hammerbucketfaceblow i think it's called.
- Frankie4Fingers, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1He might be referring to the actual news story. It is sort of spam.
- yourowndisaster, on 10/12/2007, -11/+9Danm digg's edit system..
http://www.yourowndisaster.com/mirror/menu.jeweledplatypus.org/ - FreakyT, on 10/12/2007, -10/+7But...where's Quicksilver!?
That has to be not only the best launcher app out there, but also one of my favorite things about using a mac in general. - skoles, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2What asses dugg me down for providing useful information to another program?
- ddigger, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Any mirrors?
- dmoney06, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Ive been using it since January for free. On every reboot it asks me if I want to disable the features that you need to pay for (huh?) but I obviously click no. Not sure whats up with that but its fine by me.
- cakestick, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Haha, you are awesome..
- shmatt, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2enough with the spam already
- Frankie4Fingers, on 10/12/2007, -17/+3Doesn't a story like this belong on some shareware site or something like CNet, not a social blogging service like Digg? This is simply reporting shareware/freeware.
- yourowndisaster, on 10/12/2007, -17/+1Mirror just in case it goes down.
http://www.yourowndisaster.com/mirror/best_menu_bars/menu.jeweledplatypus.org/ - yourowndisaster, on 10/12/2007, -20/+1 BURRY THIS ONE DEAD LINK USE THE NEXT ONE!!!!
