1. What’s the most unique, useful feature of iDatabase?
I think that the most unique feature of our software is the ease of use of the application. People usually encounter many difficulties in using a database management system software for personal use and companies are forced to provide training programs for employees who use them for business use. Every aspect of the program was designed to change this and provide all individuals and companies, a database manager software that is easy and natural to use from the first launch. For the first time in the history of database management system software, all users can install on their Mac (and iPhone too) an application of this type which requires no knowledge beyond what everyone already knows.
2. What need were you trying to satisfy with this database manager?
The need for an application of this type is seen everywhere: in homes where individual users need to have an inventory of belongings, need a data list for accounts at various Internet services, or need to keep track of courses at school. Companies have even greater needs for an application like this. There are millions of users who currently are using complicated applications or planned to do more, to perform the tasks that should be easier. We have thought of these people from the first day we started designing this application.
3. What is most interesting to you about developing SW for the Mac platform?
The most beautiful thing in developing applications for Mac are the contact with users themselves, they cooperate with development suggestions, ideas, advice. Every day we receive many suggestions and often following the road that they show us leads us to make better and more useful applications. There is nowhere in the technology field that can be compared to the amazing community of users of Mac OS X and iOS.
4. What features should a prospective buyer look into during a trial of your product?
A user who wants to rapidly learn the potential of iDatabase can open it and just create a new database. Define the fileds of its database to fit their needs, then enter some items and synchronize between Mac and iPhone versions. You’ll see how simple it can be to do. There are many people who use complicated spreadsheets or database managers full of complex options to do the things that iDatabase can do much more easily. Or watch the video above…
5. What’s your favorite Mac app out there from another developer? Why?
There are very many. I believe that’s what distinguishes the Mac world from the others, the ease and beauty of the applications. Among those that come to mind now – Transmit is one of those I value most, the guys at Panic have done a great job hiding to the end user the complications that such kind of software must handle in the background and the best thing is that despite being at a level above the other, they never stop improving it.
6. What features would you like to add to your product that at this time seem improbable/impossible?
One of the most interesting things about this software is that it’s made up of a solid, incredibly powerful engine designed by the talented software Engineer Marco Cassinerio. The application will be easily expandable with new features. The Mac version and the iPhone are perfectly aligned by the great engineering work that is behind the scenes. The program already has a well defined road map with what users have asked us for, and we will surprise users with features that appear for the first time on a program of this type. We also are designing an incredible iPad version that will be fully synchronizable with the version for iPhone/iPod touch and the Mac version.
7. What would you like a user to ask you?
The question some users have asked is: “Since the databases are so easy to use, can they really do much?” The fact that we were asked this question means that we hit the goal: to create from scratch a software, hiding its power at the beginning and gradually when the user uses it, ready to take on new tasks.
8. What are the answers to some common questions people have about your app before they buy?
One of the most frequently asked questions concerns the security of the data. Of course one of our main concerns was to ensure safety to user data. The application for both iPhone and Mac can be password protected to prevent unauthorized use. We have also created a robust backup, synchronization and export system. Just what people have asked us for.
Thanks Ivan!

Ivan Gobbo has a degree in psychology at the University of Padova (Italy), then achieved a two-year post university Master’s of the Center for Strategic Therapy of Arezzo and Mental Research Institute of Palo Alto. Currently he holds the position of CEO at Apimac, a company founded in 1996 dedicated to Mac OS X and iOS software. People at Apimac aim to put into users hands applications which they can use in a way they do things every day. This is the result of software design that employs a scientific approach derived from ethnography. It is completely different from the classic reductionist approach which attempts to identify the basic behavior of the human being in his interaction with the environment (a thing which often diverts software designers from the end user’s needs). At Apimac we study the everyday habits of computer users and we analyze what really happens when people use their Macs and devices.

There were two designers, both had similar training, worked in similar markets, and enjoyed their work. Each new project commanded their whole energy and focus and they received lots of praise for their results. One of the two, however, earned 25% more for each project because she purchased money-saving tools to her projects that increased the value perceived by her employer.
"Forms To Go is one of those tools that takes a skilled person and simply makes them worth more."
Forms To Go is a form to email script generator for HTML forms in PHP, ASP and Perl.
Even if you’re not a designer, most people who have a web site will need a tool like this. If you’ve ever wanted to add HTML forms to your web site, but didn’t know the first thing about programming the form to email script to process the HTML form, now you can! With Forms To Go you can quickly and easily create scripts in PHP, ASP and Perl to process your HTML forms, and send all the form’s field values via email or save them in a text file on your server. And you don’t need to have any knowledge of programming. It doesn’t get much easier than this!
Validating field values is a snap!
The script you create with Forms To Go will send all the field values by email. Prior to this, it will check that the user has entered all values correctly (e.g. a correct email address), or at least 2 characters in the name field. Return the error messages in the same HTML form.
More than sending field values through email!
With Forms To Go your scripts can handle many tasks like dumping the field values to a MySQL database, or send a confirmation email with file attachments. You can also enhance the email you’ll receive with a beautiful formatted HTML email.
What about file attachments?
You can accept file uploads from your users. Just create the correct field in the form and order Forms To Go to create a script that will accept the file upload and send it attached to the email you will receive. Easy as 1-2-3.
You don’t even need to be at your computer for your user to receive a confirmation email!
The user submitting the form can have an immediate answer in his mailbox as an auto reply. This email can also have an attached file, such as a documentation manual or a brochure.
What about spam filtering?
It’s true, recently, a new form of spam has been targeting HTML forms by triggering the scripts that process them, and overloading the mailbox of the HTML form’s owner. Forms To Go script is secure against this kind of attack. If some words are included in any field value, use the Stop Word Filter option by selecting the forbidden words in order to limit the script execution. Also, Forms To Go filters form hijacking and email injection which have been the most malicious attacks performed by hackers on HTML forms.
Any Mac with MacOS X 10.4 and higher. Forms To Go is Universal Binary.
Unsolicited comments from our website
You are AWESOME! I am a graphic designer for print media with very little knowledge of programming or website design.
I purchased your program today and created PHP script to use with an html form (created in Dreamweaver) that required the information to be sent to several emails and include a user attached photo.
I had a little problem at first (I even sent you a help request) but it was because of my server, GoDaddy, required Linux based hosting to use PHP. Once I changed that — your script WORKED PERFECTLY!!!!
I know I will use your program a lot in the future and I look forward to updates. THANKS for making it easy for a lay person to setup.
Just want to thank you for your continuing support of this "must have" product. I can’t tell you how many hours this has saved me in developing scripts for my client’s sites. The UI works well, and the generated code (PHP in my case) is clean and easy to tweak for special projects. I’ve been using Forms To Go forever, and have recommended it to other developers countless times.

What Our Customers Say About Radium
“
It used to be that I found it more convenient to listen to net radio on my iPod,
but the ease of use that comes with Radium has changed that. Instead of having
to use multiple apps (like Tuner, AOL Radio, Soma FM’s app, etc.) on my iPod,
I can just use Radium on my laptop! Pretty awesome.
”
Ryan Waters
“
Every now and then you come across a gem of software that just reverberates

Radium is a rare work of art.

VideoPier is the missing link between MPEG2 camcorders and your Mac.
It lets you visualize the clips on your camera that Quicktime would otherwise refuse to open. VideoPier lets you copy them to disk, and export them to any format for viewing (iPod, AppleTV, iPhone) or editing (iMovie 06/08).
Simplify your workflow
VideoPier will let you copy files from your camcorder to disk without any conversion. Your files will appear in date-based events for easy retrieval.
Built on solid foundations
VideoPier is built on top of the ffmpeg open-source component. This component provides very high quality video processing and support for a wide wide variety of formats.
Beauty and simplicity
detect your camcorder and let you visualize all clips.
copy files from your camcorder to your hard drive in their original format.
Import clips that have been already been copied to disk.
create events for the imported clips (events are organized by year like in iMovie 08).
visualize your clips, including their date.
multi-clip playback in the embedded player or in full screen.
export to any Quicktime format, to DV for iMovie 06, to the iPod/iPhone and Apple TV. In addition, VideoPier will keep track of the exported file so you can always retrieve it later.
export to iMovie 08 and 09
VideoPier comes in two flavours: a Standard version and a HD version (VideoPier HD) Today’s ZOT is the HD version.
Workflows for both SD and HD video
While VideoPier is mainly targeted at users that have a standard definition camcorder (recording on SD cards, DVD, HardDrive), VideoPier HD (Today’s ZOT!) adds the ability to capture from tape based HDV camcorders. VideoPier HD speaks with Final Cut and lets you export your HD clips in a format that is ready for editing.
VideoPier and iMovie
VideoPier is not a replacement for iMovie 06/08. Instead it offers the following benefits to iMovie users:
VideoPier lets you manage video files in their native format. VideoPier will save you time and disk space because you no longer need to convert all the videos from their original format into something iMovie understands. Instead, copy the files in their native format, visualize and organize them with VideoPier. When you need to use some of the files for your editing work, convert those files only.
if you are still using iMovie 06, then VideoPier lets you work with camcorders that iMovie simply won’t recognize.
if you are using iMovie 08 or 09, then VideoPier lets you move away from the imposed Apple Intermediate Codec when editing convert MPEG files in your desired format (H264 for example) for later editing in iMovie.
VideoPier and HDV
VideoPier handles raw HDV material on your disk. Even if you don’t possess the Apple HDV Codec that ships with Final Cut Pro, VideoPier lets you visualize and convert these files. In addition, VideoPier HD supports capture from tape based HDV camcorders, complete with : scene detection, capture date extraction and custom file naming options.
Supported camcorders(*)
VideoPier has been tested with videos coming from the following camcorders:
Panasonic SDR-S100, SDR-S150, SDR-H250, SDR-S7, SD-1000, HDC-SX5, HDC-SD5, HDC-HS9,
JVC Everio models recording MPEG-2 on Hard drive: GZ-MG37U, …

Sony models recording on Hard-drive or card as well as mini-DV based HDV
camcorders(**). Models include: HDR SR7, HDR SR12, DCR-SR42, HDR-TG1, DCR-SR46, HDR-SR8E
(*) This list is far from complete and we keep adding new ones as we get reports from our customers. If your camcorder does not appear to be supported, please contact us at: support.my.camcorder ‘at’ aquafadas.com
(**) direct capture from HDV camcorders via Firewire is only supported in VideoPier HD.
Bracketeer is a front-end GUI for Enfuse. Enfuse is a command-line opensource utility which uses multiple exposures of a scene (bracketed exposures) and merges them together to form a uniformly lit scene. It is similar to tonemapping with an HDR image except that no HDR image is ever created, and there is no ghosting. It works with any kind of bracketed image set, not just panoramic equirectangular images. Bracketeer can even auto-align hand-held shots! The results are almost always much better than anything that can be achieved with Photoshop’s HDR Tone Mapping:
Here is a great example of what Bracketeer can do. These images were shot hand-held at -2EV, 0EV, and +2EV:
Bracketeer was used to auto-align and enfuse the images to get this stunning result:
How to Use It…
Simply Drag & Drop your image files into the Bracketeer Window (can be almost any file format: jpeg, tiff, png, psd, and even camera RAW files).
Once the source images are loaded simply click the “Enfuse It!” button to make the magic happen!
Bracketeer always outputs a lossless TIFF file.
Technical Requirements
BRACKETEER 4.3.1 (The latest version) requires MAC OS 10.6 or later
