Things is a great application for Mac OS X if you’re a busy person and have a lot of things to get done through-out a day.

As of writing this article Things is still in beta and free to download but sometime in fall 2008 version 1 will be released and cost $49.

Things is well worth checking out and has been very useful for me lately.

I’ve been using a iMac for the past 2 years now and at first I thought that they were a lot better than PC’s. Over the past few months I’ve been having problems with the graphics card in my Mac and it messes up the graphics a lot, can take up to 5 times of switching it on and turning it back off again to get it working and it also freezes quite a lot.

The only reason that I like Macs over PC’s is because of OS X. Macs are way overpriced. Sure they look nice but they’re not worth hundreds of dollars more. I can’t fix the problem in my Mac for cheap because to fix the graphics problem id need a new motherboard and id be better off buying a new Mac.

People do say that PC’s can get viruses, crash and so on but I’ve never had a problem on a PC as bad as what I have on my iMac.

Below is a short video of when my Mac messes up.
 

Macs do look nice and all but I wish that Apple would release OS X for PC’s because then id be able to fix this problem a lot easier and overall I think that OS X would become a more widely used operating system.

Wakoopa is a small program that runs in the background of Windows or Mac OS X and logs the activity of applications that you use. When you go on wakoopa.com you can then see what applications you have used the most over a period of time or since you started using Wakoopa.

With Wakoopa you can add friends and when they start using new applications you will be sent an alert so that you can try out that application as well.

As of now Wakoopa is only available for Windows and Mac OS X but soon to be released is a Linux version.

On Wakoopa you can see reviews that people have left for applications so if you’re not sure about a specific piece of software and you’re considering purchasing it then head over to Wakoopa to see what other people think of it.

Wakoopa is free so its worth a try. Head over to Wakoopa.com, create yourself an account and download their Tracker and tell us what you think about it.
