- smarty927, on 07/05/2009, -6/+156Title Fail. These aren't all open source apps. They're just free apps. The title even says "25 Free Mac Apps That Will Boost Your Productivity"
Open Source is not synonymous with Free. Open source implies that they "opened" their "source" code for free. Dropbox and Gmail notifier (to name just two) don't release their code. I hope that clears things up a bit. - JackGrinnan, on 07/06/2009, -9/+37my cats breath smells like cat food
- scarz99, on 07/06/2009, -4/+23Dugg for Dropbox.
http://www.getdropbox.com - inactive, on 07/06/2009, -1/+19Quicksilver is no longer supported, so I wouldn't get too attached - any random system update may break it for good - Google QSB is now maintained by the Quicksilver people and is updated frequently. It's not as powerful yet, but it's getting there.

- dn11, on 07/06/2009, -3/+13how to really boost your productivity: stop being a douche who argues about which platform is better and go use the platform you prefer to actually do something productive.
- MacParrot, on 07/06/2009, -2/+11And yet here we both are.
- LeviTheSmith, on 07/06/2009, -3/+12Buried as inaccurate
- MacParrot, on 07/06/2009, -5/+13How to boost your comprehension. Step one: Know how to actually write complete sentences!
- dn11, on 07/06/2009, -5/+13yeah man, that's why there are $700 GPU cards designed for the windows platform - for getting work done way faster, because windows users are all about work. mac users just dick around creating content and such. bunch of time wasters
- dontlookleft, on 07/06/2009, -1/+8YES I finally found rational comment in a mac thread (they are always here and usually higher on the list of comments).
Why do people give a ***** what type of computer/OS others use? If you're happy, shut your hole.
That is all. =] - aychseven, on 07/06/2009, -1/+8I eated the purple berries. They taste like burning.
- dn11, on 07/06/2009, -0/+6grandPerspective, nice little open source app for sorting out your drive space graphically
http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/ - JonLatane, on 07/06/2009, -0/+6Quicksilver has also been open-sourced, and it looks like there's still some development going on there:
http://code.google.com/p/blacktree-alchemy/
Unfortunately, last I tested, my favorite feature (adding events to iCal calendars) was still broken (it broke with Leopard's version of iCal and hasn't been fixed since). QSB is definitely a little simpler to use than QS, but it's still nowhere near as powerful. Also, QS is much, much, much better looking (and seems to have been updated more recently than QSB). - DigDugDigger, on 07/06/2009, -1/+6No mac user cares bout open source just like no Windows user cares bout getting any work done.
Generalizations are fun. - LOLMadness, on 07/06/2009, -2/+7yeah if you want the mac to start to fail the second you turn it on.
- pkizzle, on 07/06/2009, -0/+4Cant seem to download iTool :(
Any other way to get it than through that site? - aserer511, on 07/06/2009, -0/+4they tried to DIGG deep
This link totally wasn't custom tailored at all with propagation by digg - GPHace, on 07/06/2009, -0/+4I have growl, really great when downloading big files, as well as music, if you download the Last.FM app, if will notify you what the next song is in a little box in the corner of your screen, so you do not have to be on the Itunes screen to see what song is playing. Which is quite handy when writing or something like that.
- regularsteven, on 07/06/2009, -0/+4digg deep... is that intentional?
- brendon2020, on 07/06/2009, -1/+5dropbox is great but not open source, as some of the apps on this list.
- dontlookleft, on 07/06/2009, -0/+3Here.
There.
Everywhere. - davzie, on 07/06/2009, -0/+3stopsayingfail.com
- TSchiewe, on 07/06/2009, -0/+3"is now maintained by the Quicksilver people" = Alcor (a1c0r) from Blacktree Software.
- marcoionox, on 07/06/2009, -0/+2Yup - you're right. As you can see in the comments on that page, the title "at first" was the title that is displayed here.
- techdever, on 07/06/2009, -0/+2Don't forget Adium and Colloquy growl integration
- Raptor007, on 07/06/2009, -0/+2Jumpcut, Quicksilver, and TextWrangler -- absolutely!! Although I think their #1, aLunch, isn't really necessary if you've got Quicksilver (haven't tried it though).
Also dugg for the batch renaming apps, which I hadn't heard of but have definitely been wanting! - nenadsuperzmaj, on 07/06/2009, -1/+3Although I'm not a Mac, but a Linux user, I wanted to digg this for open source. Bu since you opeend my eyes, I only dugg your comment :)
- jamangold, on 07/06/2009, -1/+3This is my sandbox. My dad doesn't let me play in the deep end.
And over there is where I see the leprechaun. He tells me to burn things. - MtheoryX, on 07/06/2009, -0/+2digg.com is an open source mac app now?
News to me. - GPHace, on 07/06/2009, -0/+2oh yeah, and skype too!
- diggimator, on 07/06/2009, -0/+2Maybe the original article had a misleading title when submitted to digg and later the original article fixed their title.
- MatsHG, on 07/06/2009, -0/+1Google QSB is really great. Updates to twitter does it too.
- jayhawk, on 07/06/2009, -0/+1i love QS. it may be my favorite app. that being said, i appreciate learning about Google's QSB. while it's not QS by any stretch, at least it appears to have a solid foundation behind it. i'd take a stripped down version of QS as a backup just in case QS gets died in a future update.
- aychseven, on 07/06/2009, -0/+1there a few others that do the same thing. onyx, iceclean, socks etc
- pkizzle, on 07/07/2009, -0/+1Thank you.
- CoreyTamas, on 07/06/2009, -0/+1You know what's interesting? Your comment was greyed out as "below viewing threshhold". And before I clicked, I thought "I bet this is someone saying 'Best way to boost your productivity: Don't use a Mac.'" ...because I see in every single thread about Apple there's always one guy high-fiving himself for what he thinks is a brand new joke.
So I guess I just wanna say thanks, cause it was a minor shot to the ego that I was right, even if it was an easy call. - techdever, on 07/06/2009, -0/+1wat
- Rudegar, on 07/06/2009, -1/+2how large a % of mac apps are cocoa and objectiveC ?
- q00u, on 07/11/2009, -0/+1Missed opportunity, man. Put your Share Dropbox link on there, so new people get the extra 250megs of space.
https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTEzNjg1Mzk
You get more, they get more, it's all upside and no downside. Everybody wins.
I've been using Dropbox for a while, it's incredibly handy. - Skurt, on 07/06/2009, -0/+0Not sure the advantage of aLaunch when you can just hit command-space and start typing in the app you wish to use e.g.
Command-Space fire will bring up firefox and all you do is hit enter when it appears. - inactive, on 07/06/2009, -3/+1Ignore the troll
- iamnicogomez, on 07/06/2009, -4/+1Where's number 25? INACCURATE ON TWO COUNTS!
- inactive, on 07/06/2009, -9/+4word, i'm writing my screenplay at coffeehouses on my mac!
- Charlie1er, on 07/06/2009, -8/+1No mac user cares about open source. The main reason to buy mac is that they will never have to care about coding. Digg because free = cool anyway.
- consolepredator, on 07/06/2009, -9/+1another aplications www.apachefriends.org
