- Kakcoo, on 02/05/2008, -7/+155Yeah. Every Mac user should have at least 100 third party apps (included two finance apps) installed.
- The_Wallbanger, on 02/05/2008, -2/+135Inaccurate. There are only 99 apps listed. Wallsaver is listed as #47 and #58.
- kwilliam, on 02/05/2008, -2/+94"49) Fish
A simple little program that shows you little fishes swimming around."
I quit reading at that. - dyranios2, on 02/05/2008, -3/+83I hadn't seen this list in a few weeks I was beginning to worry...
- gizzymo, on 02/05/2008, -5/+73what on earth is crapware stuffit doing on that list??
- inactive, on 02/05/2008, -1/+52Buried for having Transmission at # 24 and Azereus at #15
- ransomduke, on 02/05/2008, -3/+42Transmission ftw
- Larz0rz, on 02/05/2008, -2/+39"49) Fish
A simple little program that shows you little fishes swimming around."
That's what I call essential... - zwilliams, on 02/05/2008, -2/+37I agree, StuffIt needs to die. Unarchiver is far better.
- Barr08, on 02/05/2008, -5/+36if you need 100 apps to make your computing experience complete, then maybe you should consider a different os
that being said, i love leopard and use it every day - with only about 20 apps - itchytooth, on 02/05/2008, -0/+27Are you kidding? I won't get out of bed for less than 1,000 apps.
- Okitaz, on 02/05/2008, -1/+25You're supposed to have two copies of it.
It's essential. - jjustice, on 02/05/2008, -4/+26If *100* applications are "essential," you are doing too much on the computer =]
- meshman, on 02/05/2008, -4/+26Oh these headlines are just too tempting sometimes.
- scottious, on 02/05/2008, -4/+23What? no TextMate?
- inactive, on 02/05/2008, -2/+21Stuffit can Shoveit.
- ytsohptwhere, on 02/05/2008, -2/+19dugg for having all 100 on a single page
- theotheragentm, on 02/05/2008, -2/+15I'd hardly call a fish tank simulator essential, but fun nonetheless.
- robbh66, on 02/05/2008, -1/+13Stuffit is probably one of the 3 worst programs I've ever installed on my mac :(
- serpicolugnut, on 02/05/2008, -3/+14The kid should have listed a good grammar/spell checker, because the writing on the site is horrid.
Plus, I have a hard time taking anyone seriously who claims that Nvu is just as good as Dreamweaver. Please. And yeah, no TextMate on the list seriously damages the credibility of the list.
Move on, nothing to see here. - iamgnat, on 02/05/2008, -2/+12Inaccurate. Some how i've managed the last 7 years with less than 10% of those Apps.
It's a good list of Apps to know about in the event you actually need them, but essential implies that you can't get by without them.
-dave - maoyama, on 02/05/2008, -0/+9Um... I think I may have found a typo in your title. You titled this post "Top 100 Essential Mac Applications" but I think what you MEANT to say "100 Mac Applications"
- theotheragentm, on 02/05/2008, -2/+11There is! Check out here. Top 5 Ways to Block Top X Stories on Digg!
- pruppert, on 02/05/2008, -3/+12Nice. Found a few I didn't know about.
- Zippo, on 02/05/2008, -3/+10For all the Mac users out there, AppCleaner does the same thing as AppZapper and it's free. I use it regularly and never had an issue with it.
http://www.freemacsoft.net/AppCleaner/ - etandrib, on 02/05/2008, -2/+9I have.
- Peavey, on 02/05/2008, -2/+8Two virtualization programs? I don't think we all need Boot Camp, Parallels, and VMware Fusion.
At least I don't. - node3, on 02/05/2008, -0/+6Yeah, they really should have been more informative about that app. It's showing the little fishes swimming around in the liquid cooled G5s, which makes it essential really just for certain G5 owners.
It's the swimming motions of the fish that keeps the liquid circulating, so it's really important to keep an eye on them. - banmaster, on 02/05/2008, -0/+5Stop spamming your crappy little site you jerk!!
- irgeorge, on 02/05/2008, -0/+5A few useful programs, but the the article was so poorly written it was painful to trawl through.
- Mr8lack, on 02/06/2008, -0/+5Well the first problem would be having to sign up onto a freaking mailing list just to download the program....
- blackhydra, on 02/05/2008, -4/+9Why are you getting buried? Azureus can suck my left nut.
- PhillyMJS, on 02/05/2008, -0/+5"85) SuperDuper.
Another great backing up utility although its not fully Leopard compatible at the time of writing."
He should have waited another day. SuperDuper 2.5 was released today, and is fully Leopard compatible (and a kickass app, IMNSHO). - Jawsh91, on 02/06/2008, -1/+6No, he wasn't implying that...at all.
- Sparkbank, on 02/05/2008, -1/+5Yeah. http://www.coolmacapps.com has this whole "list" idea beaten.
- stutimandal, on 02/05/2008, -0/+4I don't know about you, but I don't use more than 5-10 apps on a daily basis. Browser being the most-significant one, and text-editor a close second.
- HaSatan, on 02/05/2008, -16/+19BURIED for "15) Azureus One of the best bittorrent clients out there. Has lots of user extensions through the use of plugins."
- Firehed, on 02/05/2008, -1/+4Yeah - a lot of these, while good, are either redundant or completely unnecessary for most people. CSSEdit for example, while a fine app, is hardly essential to all Mac users. The same goes for... well, almost the entire list. I have five or six third-party apps that I run on a daily basis (and a bunch of stuff that exists which I don't really think about), and I do quite a lot on my MBP.
- robbh66, on 02/05/2008, -1/+4That was the first thing I installed a year ago when I got a mac. 3-4 months later I took it off because I never used it.
- lathicentropy, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3it costs money to have MAC addresses now?!
geez... - jasperdavies, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3Agreed. They've also been around a lot longer.
- seantubridy, on 02/05/2008, -3/+6Ok, I'm in the process of writing a browser add-on that will hopefully keep a user from seeing all top ten, top 100, etc. lists that appear on digg . Now if some other people will write similar add-ons, we can post an article titled "Top 10 list of add-ons for eliminating Top 10 lists from digg.
- gaetanocaruana, on 02/05/2008, -4/+7I am one of those who recently bought a mac to experiment with.... This list helped me :D
- jj101, on 02/05/2008, -3/+6They can all be essential without all being applicable to everyone. Although useful is probably more accurate.
- RedS0x, on 02/05/2008, -1/+4Oh my.
- Me1000, on 02/05/2008, -1/+41997 called they want their joke back!
although the same can be said for my whole post... - RedS0x, on 02/05/2008, -1/+4But there is no ZAP sound!
- iSnooze, on 02/06/2008, -0/+3I completely agree, what's next.... Norton perhaps ???
- zeyad, on 02/06/2008, -1/+3ok.
- bjett92, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2Maybe you should read the other comments and come up with your own dumbass comments.
