We’re all familiar with Private Browsing. While I use it for my financial activities, people will use it for more nefarious deeds. Imagine if we can take everything on our Macs, and apply Private Browsing to it. You know, like iChat for example? So if you’ve ever wanted to be super sneaky on your Mac, perhaps to keep your little brother from blackmailing you with your latest GF talk, then Tiptoe is for you.

Imagine the entire Internet as your screen saver. That’s WebSaver, a SandwichLab utility designed to bring you the best of the Internet right to your dormant Mac computer.

DestroyTwitter, unMac your Client
When people think of Twitter clients on the Mac, we immediately associate with clients wrapped in the fuzzy warm blanket of Cocoa. Sometimes these clients appear as HUDs that nestle in the menubar.

Many of us would be lifeless without Tweetie, but before we finally sink our teeth into the latest MacHeist offering, I’m going to DestroyTwitter.
Notable Quotes, Words Not to be Forgotten. Review and Giveaway.
I don’t know if it’s a fetish, but reading those famous phrases from people I vaguely remember studying in senior high has become somewhat of a daily activity. I’ll wake up in the morning and flip through a few quotes before beginning my daily routine of Mail and Tweetie 2 checkups on my iPod Touch, before nesting it back into it’s own little neat space. I’ve been playing with Notable Quotes for the last day our so, and may I say it’s fancy. Between the script, leather-bound pages, and its coffee like glow, Notable Quotes has a very expensive feel to it. I like it.
Put Core Location to use with NetworkLocation
One feature that people are often unaware of in their Macs is something called Core Location. Core Location is what automatically sets the time zones on your Mac for you when traveling around the world by looking for nearby WiFi hotspots and gathering local intel. In conjunction with Google Maps and NetworkLocation, you can establish rules that aid in automatically performing tasks when you reach your daily destinations.
Taptu, Search by Touch
Mobile browsers are usually of one breed on the iPhone. All browsers normally have an address bar, a search bar, and perhaps tabs. But asides from accessing search engines, none of them make looking for information too convenient. Taptu Search makes finding information easy because of interactive contextual touch elements.
Make your Grade with Grades. Exclusive Preview and Giveaway.
This afternoon was full of mystery and intrigue. Adventure and possibilities. Mexican and and iPhone-app’ness. Over fine Spanish cuisine, I met with iPhone developer Jeremy Olson (@jerols on Twitter – if you aren’t following him you should) who runs a great blog over at Tapity.

Moodagent, Music by Flavor
Feeling out your music can be more trouble than it’s worth. Getting in touch with your sensual, happy, or perhaps aggressive sides might lead to a quick trip to thesixtyone, but what if I told you there’s an easier way (with local music)? Moodagent by Syntonetic is a new favorite app of mine that accomplished just this. While I was initially turned off by the low ratings on the iTunes store, I’m gonna have to knock down these preposterous 3 to 3.5 star and knock it up to a 4.5. What makes this app such a winner for me? Read on to find out.
