A few days ago I saw in a friend’s macbook that his Finder app had tabs like google chrome.
So I google it and found an answer to that called XtraFinder.
XtraFinder allow to use tabs in finder “à la chrome” and much more, the one feature I also want to highlight is the ability to use “cut & paste”.

Several months ago, when I was starting to using Mac OS, my browser was Firefox, because it’s stability and the add-ons.
One of my ‘must have’ add-ons is a flash blocker, for to reasons: it blocks annoying ads and saves you battery.
When I moved to Safari, I’ve tried to reach a flash blocker plug-in but no success at all.
Today, I give it another shot and I’ve discovered a great Safari Plug-in called ClickToFlash.

The features of this plugin are:

Suggestions are all welcome.
Hello everybody, it’s me again.

iSyncButton is a Dashboard Widget that allows you to synchronize the devices configured on iSync in one single click.
It opens iSync, Synchronizes and when its done (even errors ocurred) it closes.
The iSyncButton was created by me, and for now it only syncs.
On the future I want to enable cancel sync and other options.

If you are like me and you like to know what’s playing on iTunes you can use GrowlTunes.
This application is on the Extras folder on the Growl (dmg) and shows you the song title, the artist, the artwork, the duration and it’s rating on a growl notification.
This is excellent but I’ve always thought that those headphones on the toolbar of the GrowlTunes app, were useless, for some good reasons like:
So in order to hide the headphones icon on the toolbar, all you have to do is:

Hi every one,
I’m where today to tell you how can you download complete sets from Flickr.
Imagine that you have a friend that took the pictures from a party that you were present. He as posted the photos on Flickr and they are in a big number. So to download all that photos easily you can use ‘Photo Grabbr’, available here.
The only problem is that you cannot download ‘all rights reserved’ photos!
But it looks a good app. Have a look.
