- ravage86, on 11/12/2007, -5/+45Top 100? Lists this large are retarded.
What's next, "The world's greatest 150 countries"? - SRSco, on 11/11/2007, -2/+33Kind of like how under each app there is a little description of what it does?
Read it again. - TheWorm, on 11/08/2007, -5/+20Well, I'm not surprised then that your icon is a windows logo. Mac tends to have superior 3rd party apps over Windows in my experience with both.
- WoollyMittens, on 11/09/2007, -2/+17Next time state which ones cost money and which ones are free. There's some real gems and some real rip offs in that list.
- hotdamn, on 11/08/2007, -4/+18no textmate?
fail. - lkv87, on 11/09/2007, -42/+54what would be nice is if each app had a little discription about what it does.
- Vermifax, on 11/08/2007, -0/+11Or read the description below each title...
- anjinash, on 11/10/2007, -2/+12It's too bad you're getting dugg down for being reasonable. I switched to Macs over the Summer as my primary OS, but still use Windows and Linux regularly. What's so hard to comprehend about using the right OS for the task at hand, or using what fits your needs and/or comfort level? And why the ***** does anyone else care what OS anybody else uses? Jesus.. I love Macs, but some Mac fans disgust me to no end.
- thefirelane, on 11/07/2007, -3/+12The Application Sleep Display is also unnecessary in Leopard: System Preferences: Expose & Spaces: Set a corner to "Sleep Display"
- cramd, on 11/07/2007, -1/+10transmission is a pretty slick torrent client. I have only tried a few on Mac before discovering this one. Seems to have all the features that I need.
- devindotcom, on 11/09/2007, -3/+10How did this fool get 30 diggs?
- HerrEisenheim, on 11/08/2007, -3/+9Eh. There's a lot of crap in that list.
It's also missing some good stuff like Miro, Vienna, and Burn.
And it's missing almost all the good payware: Coda, CSSEdit, Disco, Pixelmator, Transmit, Unison, Mars Edit, Textmate, NetNewsWire and NewsFire (just to name the big ones). - shak3d0wn, on 11/09/2007, -2/+8http://osx.iusethis.com
- da_bradler, on 11/08/2007, -0/+6they do what I just did, read the first couple comments before reading the story and assume he's telling the truth (ya that would be nice +digg, click story... WTF, go back to comments... god dammit)
- Saiing, on 11/07/2007, -1/+6If you genuinely have 60% of this largely useless list installed on your Mac, firstly I pity you, and secondly yeah... I pity you...
Seriously, this is just a "how much ***** can I install that I'm never gonna use" list... I have exactly 2 of these apps on my mac and I've never felt the need for any of the others. - timster, on 11/07/2007, -0/+5Right... and that's exactly what these uninstaller apps do for you. They just save a little time.
- Flipperbw, on 11/07/2007, -0/+4payware?
- aesch11, on 11/07/2007, -6/+10Buried because these same things show up on the same lists every week.
- Me1000, on 11/07/2007, -1/+51998 called... They want their joke back!
- postalblowfish7, on 11/08/2007, -1/+5RTFA
- mad23dog, on 11/07/2007, -1/+5Why does it seem like every other day there is some kind of "Top Mac Apps" story on the front page? I love my Mac.. but it just seems like overkill.
- inactive, on 11/10/2007, -3/+7did your mom 100 times.
- sparced, on 11/07/2007, -2/+6This is a much better site, http://osx.iusethis.com/
- richthomas, on 11/07/2007, -1/+5flip4mac isnt on there. should be a prerequisite with perian
the unarchiver can expand RAR and many othe achives including 7zX... or just 7z? im not sure.
ffmpegx should be replaced with visualhub. its a lot faster and more user friendly.
overall a good list by Pirillo. hes been doing a lot of blog entries on OS X and leopard lately. he confessed that Leopard is the most user friendly OS on the planet. hes been using OS X and windows together now for the past 5 years. - anjinash, on 11/10/2007, -1/+4If you want to think that way, I suppose one could say that Macs are like computers for spoiled yuppie brats who are more concerned with their image than their output. But that would be generalizing, now wouldn't it? I suggest you steer clear of the blanket statements like that, as you don't know dick-all about anyone else's needs or situations as far as computer usage goes.. only your own. And you appear to me to be the kind of Mac fanatic that put me off from purchasing a Mac for years. I simply did not want to become a narrow minded elitist like you.
- tuxracer, on 11/07/2007, -1/+4Do *not* use Service Scrubber with Leopard. Using Service Scrubber on Leopard will corrupt your keychain database and render programs like Mail unable to save your password. This may be a time machine issue somehow.
- appletalk, on 11/07/2007, -0/+3I never get bored of these lists though. In the OS X world there's always a new cool app to discover.
- twistymcgee, on 11/07/2007, -0/+3App Fresh integrates well with iusethis so I have to agree with you on that one.
http://coolmacapps.com is an excellent one as well. - anjinash, on 11/07/2007, -0/+3Pirillo grates on my nerves.... but not as much as people who use "gay" as an insult.
- digitalpencil, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3azureus is bloaty but it still my fave
- schoate09, on 11/07/2007, -0/+3Unfortunately, many apps with much functionality don't follow those guidelines...
- roberto_deneero, on 11/09/2007, -3/+6WOOT! WOOT! We have tard! We have tard!
- ajchavar, on 11/07/2007, -1/+4same way he describes it. . i'm on leopard now so i can't check, though if i'm wrong i may be confusing it with setting a corner to "display screensaver"
- postalblowfish7, on 11/07/2007, -0/+2Perian is amazing! I can finally play mst3k AVIs without an endless stream of disgusting artifacts!
- roberto_deneero, on 11/07/2007, -2/+4Uh, ditto for Caffeine. WTF would someone waste their time for. It's called System Prefs doofus.
- ajchavar, on 11/08/2007, -3/+5you could do that as far back as panther
- aliens300c, on 11/07/2007, -4/+6Although I'm not a Mac user I will send this list along to my aunts, They are both mac users and with all the good things I've been hearing about Mac I will be making the switch soon. (for my laptop at least) Aunts' Will love it and I bookmarked it for my future mac references.
Thanks for the write up!
Noah (Aliens_300c) - fr34k5h0w, on 11/07/2007, -0/+2Which is faster: clicking one icon in your toolbar when you need it or going to System Preferences -> Energy Saver -> Options -> Untick boxes. I use this all the time in class where I don't want the screen to dim.
- Rudiger81, on 11/07/2007, -1/+3Lame, these seems more of a list of apps you thought up on the spot, most useless. Buried
- inactive, on 11/07/2007, -0/+2tramission - it now has selective downloading and encryption you know - what more do you need?
- gizzymo, on 11/07/2007, -2/+4sorry but a list with lots in it does not make it a good list, some research would have been nice, for instance, unrarx is VERY poor, and fails with lots of Rars, where "Rar Expander" is the most reliable OS X rar expander.
- devindotcom, on 11/07/2007, -0/+2ajchavar, I think you could probably do that ***** in system 7.
- wedges, on 11/07/2007, -0/+2dumb list.
remove Toast, add Burn (same thing, but free). Also, why is SlingPlayer on here? Are we to assume the majority of mac users have a slingbox? No, because nobody has one of those. Why have StuffIt, 7zX and Unarchiver? Unarchiver does SIT files and 7 files, so just have the one program. Get rid of SimpleComic and add Xee, which does the comic viewing thing AND serves as a great Preview replacement, even though it can't print. While monolingual is useful, just uncheck the languages when you install OSX. Get rid of menu meters, since iStatMenus is already on there.
yeah, this is a dumb list. - supermajic, on 11/08/2007, -8/+10I loled, only because the title is just asking for that to be said 100 times over.
Really though, PCs have their downsides and so do Macs. I'm so sick of all these elitist douchebags that don't seem to realise that for some people, PCs are actually a better option. - wesw02, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Most of the apps in this list are okay, but 75-90% of these apps offer functionality that is already available in OS X. Take for example FreeDMG, disk utilities does the job, no need for a 3rd party app. Another good example is: Jarlnspector, xCode has built in functionality that will allow you to extract files from a jar. I can continue on
- falafelkiosken, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Textmate is THE text editing tool
but I guess all the programs on the list where freeware, actually Smultron CAN replace TM if your poor (I still prefer TextMate) - Rileyper, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1your right, the idiot who duped it called the page top_100_mac_apps_2
- holyreality, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1pretty helpful, although I can't imagine ever using at least half of those.
- wesw02, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Cyberduck is ok at best, it has a few major issues. My biggest problem with it is that there is flaw in the sftp protocol which results in a max transferrer rate of 5.0 MB/s, its better to just use command line for transferrers over ssh. Colloquy is also decent, but I prefer xchat.
- blackc2004, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1What does Chris Pirillo know about macs? He's a huge windows freak!
