Free up hard drive space with GrandPerspective
Need to free up space on your Mac, but not sure where to start? GrandPerspective is the application you need. I use a MacBook as my primary computer, so hard drive space is at a premium. I want to be able to maximize hard drive space as much as possible and not have unnecessary files take up space. GrandPerspective allowed me to quickly identify what files where taking up the majority of space and then gave me the option to delete these files.

Stream media content on your PS3 or Xbox 360 with Rivet
Video game consoles, specifically PS3 and Xbox 360, have the capability of playing music, movies, and photo slideshows from your computer.
