Free Universal Video player for Mac OS X

Mplayer is a fine free video player for Mac, as good as a freeware can get. Not the greatest of interface when you talk about the great interface that you get to see these days, however, it is beyond any doubt one of the most versatile player around. Some file types which are not played on VLC can be played here and that is sayinga lot for this nice little software. It can play for you AVI, DiVX, XViD, Mov, MPG (mpeg) and many more file types.

AS ALWAYS TESTED BY ME FOR A WEEK BEFORE POSTING IT HERE!!

Best part of it is that this is a complete freeware.

The Best FTP Freeware : Cyberduck

I have been using cyberduck for a very long time and even my friends swear by cyberduck. It is a nice little FTP client which makes life easy for us. I am trying to get as many useful softwares and I do not post before testing them. I am ashamed that this was not the first freeware I recommended. I have corrected my mistake now...

I wish there was a windows version as well.

Freeware for Mac: Desktopia

If you are like me you really like the ability to change the desktop images on your Mac, but I have found that changing them hourly still seems to run into trouble in the fact you never kow what your going to get unless you get real specific in creating a directory and such to draw from. Enter Desktopia a simple little app that allows you to choose the image you want for your desktop when you want it, in other words a picture at a specific time of day. Check it out, it’s free.

Freeware for you: Quicksilver

This single key launch application creates a catalog of frequently performed searches and tasks. Assign shortcut keys to frequently performed actions and frequently opened files, folders and applications. It’s more than Spotlight (the live search feature built into OS X since 10.4) on steroids. It’s like a mini-Finder and Spotlight in one.
Some users even report that it works faster than Spotlight. A December 2007 Lifehacker interview revealed that the current developer does not have plans to take Quicksilver much further, but since the program is open source, anyone can ride to the rescue. For now though, you can download the latest version here.

Windows archives on Mac

Working with a lot of Mac users over the last few years I have realised that they just don't seem to have enough tools to do what is commonplace o windows and one of these is using a rar compression or the more upcoming 7zip format. Here is an opensourde program to get it done for you.

Uncompress RAR, 7zip, tar, and bz2 files on your Mac. Many new Mac users will be puzzled the first time they download a RAR file. Do them a favor and download UnRarX for them!
