However, Caffeinated can make reading and staying up to date with these websites, a smoother, simpler and more streamlined experience. With multiple feeds, search, favourites, sharing tools and loads more, reading content from the web will never be the same. Downloading & Installation It used to...
Instaview: Bringing Instagram to the Mac
Instagram is a brilliant free application for iOS which has gained a following of over 7 million users since its release. It lets you take photos on your iPhone or iPod and share them to either the “Instagram Social Network” or to Facebook and Twitter. Viewing your photos on iOS device is simple enough because of the built in support of Instagram, however, there is no official application from Instagram that lets you view the photos on your Mac.

Transmit Review | From Your Mac to the Web
Of the many FTP clients out there, Transmit in one of the best loved ones. This is largely due to its simple mirrored interface that makes it easy to navigate, upload and download. But Transmit is not just a pretty face, and has advanced features are sure to please even the pickiest of users. The main window is split into two parts, on the left you can see ‘Your Stuff’, and on the right you can see ‘Their Stuff’. I...
Cyberduck Review | FTP for Mac
This free, FTP browser is a lean, mean, file-managing machine. (It is free through the CyberDuck website and $23.99 through the Mac App Store). Cyberduck can communicate with standard FTP volumes as well as SFTP, WebDAV, Google Docs, Google Storage, and Amazon S3. The application easily manages bookmarks with an OS X-styled drawer, and it’s easy to import your bookmarks from other file-transfer apps if you want to try Cyberduck out. We like the quick-connect drop-down, which allows you to...
NetNewsWire Review | RSS Reader
NetNewsWire is a serious RSS newsreader, a feature-filled desktop app specifically designed for voracious news consumers who want more RSS features than Safari and Mail provide. Recent updates leave the interface largely unchanged but notably add the ability to sync with the popular Google Reader service, while eliminating NetNewsWire’s old NewsGator service. This app’s three-paned, Mail-like interface presents a shallow learning curve, with an intuitive system for flagging, organizing, and reading news feeds–as simple previews or as full articles with...
Google Earth For Mac Review | A View From Space
The latest version of Google Earth makes it, undoubtedly, the only free mapping app worth considering. Accessible enough for casual users, Google has been added features that make it a necessity for those whose topographic desires are more serious. Most of the interface’s real estate displays a rendering of the globe, which slowly zooms in on a satellite image of your destination once you’ve keyed it in. The control panel has changed and is now translucent and sits unobtrusively in...
xTorrent Review | Sharing is Caring
Xtorrent, the new BitTorrent client for Mac OS X, just rolled out of the beta phase. In September, we reviewed the first public beta, which initially looked like a promising application. However, issues like the problematic libtransmission library, and the intrusive shareware policy make this client a lot less attractive. The first major drawback of Xtorrent is that it is not free, which is extremely unusual and awkward for a BitTorrent client. In addition, Xtorrent has a very intrusive shareware...
Transmission Review | Share and Share alike
Transmission is one of the very best choices for a BitTorrent client on the Mac, being both extremely lightweight (some users even manage to run the Ubuntu version on their cell phones!) and fairly feature-packed. Transmission’s interface is easy to use–and easy on the eyes–and this open-source app provides a whole host of clever features and flexible settings, especially when it comes to managing your bandwidth. Transmission lets you queue downloads, set “Speed Limits” for certain times of day, stop...
Mozilla Firefox Review | The Golden Browser
Welcome to the world of freedom and the blessings of an open source browser. Unlike Microsoft’s heavily integrated Internet Explorer, Mozilla’s Firefox has the advantage that it is under continuous development and therefore is a lot less likely to have security loop holes, such as the ones so commonly exploited in Internet Explorer which scour its already blemished reputation. The layout of Firefox is remarkably similar to that of Microsoft’s, as any web-browser should look, with the standard address bar...
