Five applications up for $free.99 right now at MacHeist. If they hit 500k downloads a sixth unlocks for free.

Also, do we really not have an Apple/Mac thread? Used to back in the day when Moe ran the place.

    No offense, but when their page is slowing down to a crawl on Safari on an MBP, they may want to fix things to appeal to their audience a little better. Still giving it a go, though. Thanks.

    I don't think you know who they are. They're getting fucking annihilated right now.

    EDIT: And if you're talking about the Flash being slow or something, you've got a serious software issue somewhere.

    That video was choppy as hell, but I'm wondering if thats a bandwidth issue on their end.

    Shovebox might be nice, gonna give it a shot. How's Twitteriffic compare to Tweetie?

    Thanks for the heads-up...just grabbed mine. Shovebox looks cool, and I'm always up for something free.

    I used Twitterific before switching to Tweetie. I'm not looking back.

    I gave up on desktop Twitter clients. I just dumped Twitter into Fluid and am 1000x happier with it than anything else.

    I grabbed it mostly for WriteRoom. That program is sex in design for writers.

    Is anyone else not getting their serials? I've had the image of "Generating Serials" sitting there for ages.

    edit: nevermind, found them by looking at my account page. WriteRoom is fantastic.

    I might as well grab free stuff. I've been attracted to the idea of WriteRoom, but Scrivener offers an identical feature coupled with many other features for only $15 more. I plan on buying Scrivener later, and I would not be using WriteRoom if I had not gotten it for free, but it is a pretty relaxing program for pounding away at the keyboard.

    shovebox is quite handy.

    hell, they're free. I'll see what I use and what I don't and delete stuff accordingly.

    I like the concept, but I haven't actually used it yet.

    But we'll see, maybe it'll cure my Excessive Browser Tab Disorder.

    Can ShoveBox do anything that Evernote currently can't? I like the price of free, but then again I'm already using Evernote and it's already free.

    Since i already use xpad and taskpaper i figured shovebox was pretty obsolete but it's nice as a reservoir for info you save, to be sorted at a later date. However, and i know its anal, i hate when apps that are not currently in use, are CONSTANTLY using a bit of cpu, (0.3%) for what? whats it doing? emailed them...

    Actually, I think I found a use for Shovebox. I have an annoying habit of keeping a billion tabs open with stuff I plan to go through later but isn't really bookmark-worthy, but now I can just stick those links in Shovebox for later.

    Scrivener has shitloads of functionality, I just don't need, though it's nice for people who are writers by trade.

    Does the reg-key for Hordes of Orcs also work with the Windows version?

    i think i might just download the licenses and stick em in my appshelf for later if i decide to actually use it, though that orc game looks appealing for killing some time.i already have shovebox from a previous download through them but never use it
