No foreplay, No spooning. Just Kenny’s blog.

Okay everyone, I know its been a month, I’ve been busy big deal. Anyways, I know that you guys like lists, and since everyone in existence is getting a Mac, I’ve decided, that it would be best to give you all the BEST, MOST kickass applications for your very own mac (and on a sidenote, I use Tiger, so some of these apps you may need to find the appropriate Leopard-versions for yourselves) OH AND EVERYTHING ON THIS LIST IS FREEEEE

1. Transmission - the fast Torrent file known to me, it great, small, faster than the speed of dark, and its simply wonderful. If you like to download torrent files, this things for you. Screw Bittorrent.
2. Flock - this is WAAAAAAAAAY better than Firefox. Its cleaner, faster, and has more unique features that Firefox is too noobish to have. L33T H4X0R$ use Flock.
3. Skype - I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. This is your bread-and-butter application for Video Chatting. This is by far, the most reliable video chatting client and it surpasses the pitiful iChat application by leagues. To find out how great Skype is, just talk to Mr. Burrell
4. Frostwire - So as we all know, to buy actual CD’s has long been considered a thing of the past. Gone are the compact disks, in with the illegal file sharing and RIAA-insultage. Frostwire is the better alternative to Limewire, and the download speeds can be considered equal to Limewire PRO. In a nutshell, its the same thing, only faster, different icon and FREEEE $-$
5. MainMenu - For all of you people who have realized your Macs are going slower, and your hard disk spaces are being taken up faster than Rosie O’Donnell at an all-you-can-eat buffet, I recommend this handy-dandy (I can’t believe I wrote that) tool to clear up hard disk space, and do basic maintenance tasks to make your Mac running as fast as it was in the beginning when you first conceived it.
6. Joost - If you’ve heard of TVU for Windows, Joost is kinda the same thing, only for Mac. Its basically TV on your Mac. As the site says, over 20000 shows, and 400+ sites… Not too bad….
7. OpenOffice for Mac - For those too cheap to buy Microsoft Office, and those too lazy to download it yourselves, OpenOffice is the free alternative to Office. Its also faster, and has cool features that are unique to OpenOffice.
8. VLC - The ALMIGHTY MEDIA PLAYER!!! This baby will open ANY media file you want. Ogg, wmv, avi, this thing can open it all. Put aside Quicktime, VLC is the eight path that will not lead you astray.
9. Wallsaver - Tired of your boring desktop? WELL DOWNLOAD WALLSAVER where you can use your SCREENSAVER as your WALLPAPER! Warning: This may slow down your Mac a little bit, but for a cool desktop, WHO CARES?!
10. VirtueDesktops - Think of this as your safe haven. Away from the prying eyes of your mom. This app will let you change your desktops at will, so you don’t have to rush to close all of your *cough* *cough* unnecessary windows. Just press the trigger buttons on your keyboard, and VOILÁ! Desktop changed, shame gone.

Once again, let me tell you, all the apps on this list are COMPLETELY FREEEEE
So there you have it. Ten Apps, that will let you pimp out your mac. Join me next time when I show you…. something else!!! Oh and if you are having trouble locating the apps to download, for Christ’s sakes, just damn Google it. Your living in the 21st century, act like it.
