The Mac Sale 2 Coming On October 31st

Seems like the Mac community can’t get enough of Mac bundles.

The Mac Sale, in collaboration with MacZot! is relaunching on October 31st and it will be called “The Mac Sale 2”. I can’t say much about the apps that will be included in the bundle but - trust me - it’s way better than The Mac Sale 1, in my opinion.

In the meantime, you can apply for registration here and get a Mail Stationery as a free gift. Also, when the bundle will launch, be sure to use our affiliate link and our promo code (MACSTORIES) to get a 5% off.

Recorded On A Mac: Hydrovibe. Interview and Giveaway!

There’s no doubt that Mac OS is the favourite platform for creative people and professionals: it’s stable, features rich and there are tons of applications for every need.

But this is not a secret.

Today, I’m very excited to announce a new post series on MacStories, “Recorded On A Mac”. This new series will focus on artists / bands that used Mac OS to record / edit their songs, with thoughts about the whole process and their favourite tools and apps.

The first band which agreed to collaborate with MacStories are Hydrovibe,  an alternative rock band from Los Angeles, United States. They’re also offering a free download  of their new album “Nothing Left To Lose” to 10 lucky readers.

Interview and giveaway rules after the jump!

Simple and straighforward.

John Gruber also showed his love for Simplenote back in July.

So, what if we could have a desktop client for Mac?  Here comes JustNotes, a beta app I’ve discovered the last week.

DeliciousSafari: The Best Safari Plugin for Delicious Users

I recently made the big step and started using Safari instead of Firefox for my tasks. This has been a big change for me, and I still have to figure out many things to find the perfect workflow.

Anyway, there was something I needed in the first place: a plugin to manage Delicious bookmarks. I mean, I add dozens of new bookmarks everyday, and while Firefox has its official plugin, Safari is still unsupported by Delicious.

Fortunately, I stumbled upon DeliciousSafari which is one of the best Safari plugins I’ve tried so far.

DropLook: Universal Previewer for People Who Can’t Stand QuickLook

There’s no doubt that QuickLook is one of the best things about Mac OS X: it provides easy and quick previews for any kind of file. However, QuickLook has a few major drawbacks: if you switch to another application the QuickLook window hides. Even with Exposè, you can’t retrieve the preview you opened. And, you can’t use more than one QuickLook.

Yesterday I stumbled upon this new app, DropLook ,which seems very interesting.
