If you work with photography and wants to achieve professional results with a normal equipment, you should consider Aperture. Aperture is a new software from Apple that allows photographers (professional or not) to take full control of their creations.
By allowing access to the original formats of the pictures (instead of working only with jpeg or related formats), Aperture gives full control of features such as color, luminescence, focus, and other features that can be modified by software.
Aperture offers everything that professional photography packages provide, but it is very easy to use, in the full tradition of Apple Macintosh software. It also sell for much less than normal packages for photography, so I think that Aperture is a gift from Apple to the photography community. It is an essential part of the “tools of the trade”.

Color picking is a function frequently needed by web designers and people working with graphical software in general.
Instead of spending money and time installing any additional software to do this, consider using the color picker embedded in the Mac OS X. It is flexible and allow you to use a full range of features, that would otherwise only be available in especialised software.
A good way to use the color picker as a separate application is described by Mac OS X hints:
Simply fire up AppleScript (Applications -> AppleScript Editor) and enter this text:
choose color
Now, save it as an application (File -> Save As, and set the File Format pop-up to Application), and you’re done! I copied the icon from the Digital Color Meter onto it to pretty it up. Add in the free HEXColorPicker from Lucky Software, and you’ve got everything a web developer might need to pick colors in any app.

A recent article by Apple links provides a nice review of the major web browsers available for the Apple Mac OS X platform. The browsers reviewed, in order of their rating, are:
- Opera 8.0.2
- Shiira: a new web browser based on webkit
- Firefox
- Safari 2.0
- Mozilla 1.7.11
- Omniweb
- Camino
- iCab
- IE 5.2
I agree that Opera is really a good browser, but don’t think it is as good as Firefox and Safari. On the other hand, I look the look and feel of Safari, and in my opinion it is the best browser, with the only caveat that a few web 2.0 do not work very well with it.
What do you think of this classification? Leave your thoughts bellow!
