Be the next Steven Spielberg with Celtx
Suppose you are an aspiring director and you’re looking to write a screenplay, create a storyboard, and even schedule days to shoot scenes. Right off the bat, you might use various programs like iCal, Photoshop, and Final Draft. There are many disadvantages of this, the primary being that all these applications exist separately. If you’re looking for the simplest and most compact application that merges all of these tools and more, Celtx is the program to use.

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. Although I’m not familiar with the PS3 , I know that Xbox 360 requires the user to have Windows XP Media Center in order to properly play this media content. Mac users, no need to worry because Rivet is the newest and easiest way for Mac users to stream their media content from their computer to their TV via their Xbox 360 or PS3.

Tap Tap Revenge + Coldplay = FUN
The company Tapulous became popular when their product “Tap Tap Revenge” was featured on the ads for the iPod Touch 2G. Since then, it became one of the most downloaded apps and Tapulous has released different themed applications to meet demand. One of these applications is Tap Tap Revenge: Coldplay Edition. Although I am a Coldplay fan and I might sound biased toward the product, I must say that this application flat out rocks.

Browse through the Internet flawlessly with Camino
There are many web browsers to choose from that combine power, speed, and simplicity while surfing through the Internet, one of them being Camino. Camino is a Mac-based web browser that integrates fast and simple web-browsing. Best of all, Camino is built on Mozilla’s Gecko Layout engine, which is the same engine used in Firefox. Yet, there are some discrepancies between the two that make Camino a great browser to use.
