Great Independent Mac Software Bundle, only $49!

ByMike Moffit

Macheist.com has declared this “The Week of the Independent Mac Developer,” and they’ve put together a collection of excellent software available for the Mac at a steeply discounted price of $49.

They’re offering Delicious Library, FotoMagico, Shapeshifter, DEVONthink Personal, Disco, RapidWeaver, iClip 4, a Pangea game, and, as a bonus, if enough people buy the bundle, Newsfire and Textmate as well.

These excellent software titles would cost $288.75 if purchased separately – that $49 price is incredible.

According to Macheist, “Perhaps best of all, each of the developers participating have agreed to donate 25% of each bundle sale to a charity of the customer’s choice. When the bundle sale is finished, MacHeist will be making donations to 8 participating charities in the Mac community’s name.”

This is a great offer. Check it out here:

  • What Is the Archive Utility?

    A long-time Small Dog customer asked me about an item that fleetingly appeared in his dock. It was a generic-looking green icon with a zipper on it called Archive Utility, and when he used Spotlight to search for it, it was nowhere to be found.

    Many of the items you download and receive in your email are compressed files. File compression is nothing new, and is exactly what you think it is: when you compress a file, you make it smaller. This reduces bandwidth loads and expenses on the server side, and can help you save disk space on your computer. However, compressed files cannot be directly accessed; they must first be decompressed.

    Back in the days of twenty megabyte hard drives (my LC II had a 20 megabyte drive in the early nineties), file compression seemed more relevant for conservation of hard disk space. These days, it’s more often used to shrink email attachments and other downloads. Mac OS X always included a built-in compressor and decompressor. By right-clicking on any file or folder in the Finder and selecting “Compress” from the contextual (pop-down) menu, your Mac will create an archive in zip format.

    When you open a compressed file, Mac OS X launches an application called Archive Utility. Its sole purpose is to compress and decompress files. It’s located in /System/Library/CoreServices, and Spotlight doesn’t search there. If you poke around the /System/Library and /Library areas of your hard drive, there’s plenty to learn if you Google intelligently and use extreme caution when moving or deleting anything. Actually–don’t move or delete anything. Just explore and learn!
