Blue Planet Casts Shadows On Your Mac Desktop
A couple things are very telling of an individual when you first analyze how they use their Mac. Desktop wallpaper in particular is very personal, and Blue Planet for the Mac transforms the desktop into a world theater cast in shadow. Perhaps someone who paints their desktop with glow of sleeping cities finds it almost calming that the world continues to turn as time intended it. Blue Planet covers your desktop in a map of the Earth, overlaying one of four different topographic maps, and enables you to pinpoint your location if location services are enabled. In real time, you can witness the passing of the sun as day turns to night for the small price of $4.99 in the App Store.

OWC Introduces 8GB SODIMMs For 2011 MacBooks - 16GB RAM Kit Available
The new 2011 MacBooks may state a limit of 8GB when it comes to installing memory, but that hasn’t stopped OWC from blowing away those perceptions with the introduction of 8GB SODIMMS. Installable alongside a 4GB module for a total of 12GB, or purchased in pairs for a total of 16GB of memory, OWC claims that owners can double the amount of installed memory, but the modules are probably out of your budget. OWC’s 12GB DDR3 1333MHz Memory Upgrade Kit will set you back $879.99, and OWC’s 16GB DDR3 1333MHz Memory Upgrade Kit costs an amazing $1599.99.
