I had held off on reviewing SyncMate for some time now. Though when I finally bit the bullet, I found its unassuming looks mask an application with potential. Not only does SyncMate make syncing my Android phone to my Mac completely pretty easy, I’m able to share files with Macs and Windows PCs on my local network, dump files onto flash drives from specific folders, and keep my flash drive loaded with the latest college documents just in case.

Safari, Other Browser Extensions Could be Dangerous
The idea here isn’t that you could install a nefarious extension; proposed is a malicious thought that a developer could gain the trust of a large user base, before updating the extension with bad code. Because Safari automatically updates, imagine the potential for wrong doing: nobody is watching.
SoloFlight for Mac Lets You Stay Focused
Some applications are simple, yet useful. On Mac OS X, some apps are so simple they don’t even have a visible UI. I can name a few of those apps which help me every single day in getting things done and save time.

Fotopedia Heritage Delivers The Photographer’s Encyclopedia For Humanity
If you’ve never heard of Fotopedia, they’ve launched with the mission statement of building an encyclopedia for humanity where content is expressed through delicious photographs from all around the world. If you’ve ever browsed through photos via the iPad’s Guardian Eyewitness app or USA Today’s Day in Pictures, think of Fotopedia Heritage having a similar purpose, but with the intent of providing detailed, wiki/encyclopedia-like information along with a wealth of geo and historical data. It’s really remarkable.

OmniFocus for iPad Reinvented My GTD Workflow
To me, GTD apps used to be worse than Twitter clients on the iPhone before Tweetie: ephemeral.
Yes, even worse than financial apps: I didn’t know how to choose one and keep rolling with it. You know - that new kid on the block could be better and has a beautiful UI. You know the drill. I was a GTD user who couldn’t manage to find an actual GTD to get going with. To better understand the situation, it’s important to specify the workflow I used to have, and the one I have now. Before the iPad came out, I organized all my tasks and projects on my Mac (whether in a desktop app or online service) and didn’t really care about achieving a cloud-based workflow. I had an iPhone (a 3GS, to be exact) but I just didn’t see it as a device to carry my GTD database around. I tried Things, iCal to-dos, Basecamp, Backpack - all sorts of productivity apps / project management tools out there. None of them survived.
The Incident
