Widgets and free apps
Apple, Software | (0)
One of the lads on my regular video gaming forum, NTSC-uk, is getting a Mac, and was asking what apps and widgets people use on Mac. No specifics, just chuck some ideas at him. Here's what I said;
Quicksilver (keyboard app/file launcher)
Once you've tried it, you really can't be without it.
Perian (xvid/divx/x264 codec)
Plug-in to play divx and many other formats in all apps that use the Quicktime architecture. That means watching x264 .mkv files in Front Row
VLC (movie media viewer)
Better movie player than Quicktime, handles everything, does interlacing and subtitles etc.
Adium (instant messaging)
Like the PC/Linux Pigeon, but better. Handles all forms ...
