• 1Password to Rule Them All at LifeClever - Chanpory reviews the game-changing 1Password. I think I've tried to make it my Pick of the Week on MacBreak Weekly about 3 times now. One of the truly indispensable OS X apps, and Chanpory shows you why. (Loving the graphical password strength meter in the latest beta)
• Market share for browsers, operating systems and search engines - "Apple's market share rose 7.5% for the Mac and 33% for the iPhone in a single month." Wow. That ain't hay.
• TVShows automatically downloads your favourite shows If you don't mind getting your IP address stuck in the door (and, IMO, you should), bit torrent can bring much bounty to your Mac. This OSS app grabs the torrent for your favorite TV shows (not the actual video file) then passes it along to your BT app to complete the work on your dirty little scheme. Neat idea. [via JimRay (but you didn't hear it from me either)]
• 30 Minute Clutter Solution - Good Housekeeping - Useful series of articles (hidden behind an un-useful form UI) gives tips on how to deal with many of the problematic clutter attractors in your world. Try the medicine cabinet or mail and keys for practical advice on problem areas.
• Beat the Press Archive | The American Prospect - There's something weirdly Mythical Man-Month about replacing your best employees with noobs in order to save short-term money. Bonehead decisions like this have your "shareholder value" swinging. [via Daring Fireball]
• San Francisco Storms | Ask MetaFilter - I'll admit that San Francisco's lack of real weather has made this Florida boy into a nervous nelly; we're headed for supplies at the Home Depot this morning...because it might be a little windy. Friends back in Tallahassee are surely pointing and laughing right now. As is appropriate.
• Will You Look At That - Until I do that long-overdue post on "Amazing sites I look at all day but that you may not know about," enjoy entry #1: this nicely-curated collection of cool photos from Flickr.
• Movie-Montage.com - Training Montages - Oh, sure you've got Rocky eating lightning and crapping thunder, but who can forget "Hungry Eyes" from Dirty Dancing? Oh, Baby, nobody puts you in a corner. Nobody. [via MeFi]

MacBreak Weekly 47: That's Our Shooby!

Hosts: Leo Laporte, Merlin Mann, Scott Bourne, and Alex Lindsay

Universal challenges iTunes, iPhone hacks, and our software picks of the week...

Here's a direct MP3 download of MBW 47.

This time we did our usual weekly software picks, but I also got to choose our Audible.com audiobook of the week. Can you guess what it is?

Digital Filing System

Pocket Pen?

Robert considers the vast amount of stuff most of us carry around every day—where can we lighten our loads and empty our pockets?

I want to - a page of utilities that help you do stuff you want to

Man, I have a warm spot for old-school pages like this. Just a bunch of links to tools and apps, organized by what you want to do. Feels like 1995 again. snif

All of the topics and most of the sites will be familiar to you as they were to me (sharing photos, sending large files, creating to-do lists), but it was worth the visit just to be reminded of This to That -- the canonical place to to learn how to glue anything to anything.

[ via del.icio.us/popular ]

Looking at that page, I'm reminded of a couple apps I've been meaning to mention that both do an impressive job of putting collaborative word processing on the web.

Firefox users: do check out Writely. Feels surprisingly like -- well -- a web version of MS Word, to be honest. Haven't used it in battlefield conditions, but it is a feature-rich, intuitive app, given the medium.

If you like this kinda thing but want something a bit lighter (and Safari-friendly), definitely have a look at Writeboard, a beautiful, stripped down chunk of func from the less is good geniuses at 37 Signals.

I would also, at this juncture, like to renew my annual request to the gods that somebody on the OS X team please (Please!) steal the collaborative editing functionality of SubEthaEdit and put it into any app that supports text editing. That functionality should be like printing; a baked-in service that's ubiquitous and configurable once from the System Preferences, then portable anywhere that the router has the correct holes punched. I'd so kill for that.

MacBreak Weekly 52: Ten Cents A Dance

>

Hosts: Leo Laporte, Merlin Mann, Scott Bourne, Andy Ihnatko, and Alex Lindsay

We take a look at Apple's new iMacs, and iLife and iWork 08...

Here's a direct MP3 download of MBW 52.

Of course, when I chose iCal as my anti-pick, I said it with love. Much love.

Following the leads of David and Marc, here’s the full transcript of the answers I gave for the WIRED News article via email last week.

As usual, I’d really hoped to play down the goofy “cult” label, but, oh well, I imagine that’s the angle some editor destined the story to have. So it goes.

Still it’s a good piece if it helps a few new folks get it together, and I certainly can’t complain about the exposure (and very considerate deep-linkage).

Thanks for the opportunity, Robert.
