One of the many things that I’ve enjoyed since my switch to Mac is the Mac OS X menubar. The way that you can run little applications and with a simple glance be informed of their status is brilliant. The way Apple has built-in Menu thingys is great for first time users too. I’m going to walk you through my Menubar.
My Menubar
RealMac Software kindly donated a license for LittleSnapper, a revolutionary screen capture app for Mac. We asked our readers to tell us why they wanted a copy for a chance to win. We had loads of entries, but after much fighting inside my brain I’ve picked our winner.
I’m proud to announce that Luke Beaumont is our winner. Luke is a Digital Media Student and he says that one of the things that he will use LittleSnapper for is showing his tutors how he develops his projects. Luke has been sent his prize, a copy of LittleSnapper (value $39).
This wraps up this great competition. Thanks to RealMac Software for sponsoring this competition. If you would like to sponsor a competition (big or small), you can tell us over on the contact page.

I stayed up all night Wednesday to listen to the VexedTech podcast with @iGerard and @psimac. Their show is kind of a Cranky Geeks idea where they vent their spleen about thinks tech that vexed them this week.
I shall be a guest on the show next Wednesday representing IMP.
They also have a picks section and iGerard picked an iPhone game which I downloaded and have been hooked on ever since. The game is called Flight Control.
You have to guide the planes and helicopters to their correct landing strips without having any of them collide. Very addictive. The graphics are very eye catching but the one thing that is slightly disturbing is the applause you get when you get a high score. I assume they are applauding my high score and not the fact I caused 2 or more planes to crash, which is why the game ends 
iGerard said that we could post our high scores (he has only managed 42 so far) on their blog, but so far there is no update to allow this on their site. So I thought maybe it’s a good idea to do it here. So if you have Flight Control post your high scores in the comments so we can see how good you are at air traffic control. No prizes just the kudos and giving us a target to beat
My High Score as of this post is 66.
This is a part of my ongoing series on The Hit List. To read the first post, click here, and to read them all at once as they were meant to be read, here.
There are two types of true containers in THL, and several other pseudo-containers. The difference is that items actually reside in containers, and are just shown in pseudo-containers. Think of containers like folders in the file system, and pseudo-containers like smart folders. Note that these terms aren’t actually used in THL to the best of my knowledge, I just made them up to allow you to better understand their uses. (more…)

There are many screenshot tools for Mac; Grab, Skitch and many more. I’ve settled on a great tool from Realmac Software (Developers of RapidWeaver). LittleSnapper was part of the MacHeist bundle, a collection of apps that has been beaten to death by numerus podcasts and blogs.
