Have you ever felt that although Mac OS X’s built-in disc authoring is nice, it is at times rather limiting? Have you ever wondered what to do when a client requested a custom hybrid CD that required all the Mac-specific files to be hidden on the disc when viewed on a Windows PC? Enter shadowBurn, the painless CD/DVD burning solution that is as straightforward as anything on Mac OS X.

shadowBurn is a CD/DVD burning solution for Mac OS X 10.4 and later that uses Apple’s powerful DiscBurning APIs to ensure all disc authoring functionality provided by your system are handled perfectly and adds such much sought-after features like custom hybrid disc creation and disc overburning support for projects that just might fit on a disc, even though the official disc size does not allow the project to fit on it.

The power of shadowBurn lies in its simplicity and straightforwardness. Easily accessible when placed in the Dock, shadowBurn allows you to drag and drop items you want to burn onto its icon or the project window once shadowBurn is open. You can even optionally install the shadowBurn Finder plug-in which allows you to add items to your burn project from the Finder’s contextual menu, this way you don’t even have to keep shadowBurn in the Dock. This can be useful when your Dock is already overcrowded with valuable applications in the first place or your screen is too small and you would like to keep your Dock nice and clean.

Personal Finance is Easier Than They Want You to Think

Keeping tabs on your finances can be a lot of work. You ask yourself, "Where is all my money going?" Your old-fashioned paper check register can’t provide the sorting and balancing features you so desperately need, but on the other hand, monster applications like Quicken make you sift through tons of features and distract you with their financial services ads. You could really use a middle ground – a personal finance manager that excels at the basics but keeps things simple.

shadowClipboard is the clipboard manager for Mac OS X that manages multiple clipboards in a convenient, unobtrusive way. shadowClipboard gives you access to files, pages of texts, images, pdf documents and all other data you have copied a few minutes or a week ago.

The power of shadowClipboard lies in its simplicity and straightforwardness. Rather than placing itself into the Dock – which is rather crowded on most Macs anyway – it resides in the status menu area of your Mac OS X system, next to the AirPort, Monitor and Sound settings and your Menu Bar clock. Or if your status menu is crowded as well you can opt to access shadowClipboard using fully customizable hotkey combinations and disable the status item as well.
