true, iWork ‘08 is better than office (i already threw office away)
other usefull stuff is adium for IM’ing www.adiumx.com
vlc for all video files www.videolan.org/vlc
transmission for torrents http://www.transmissionbt.com/
that’s the most of the stuff i use

wildflower's avatar

Yes. VLC rocks.

iwamoto's avatar

even the most obscure formats are supported, and after i’m done ripping dvd’s with mac the ripper, i just drag the folder into vlc, just amazing

@Iwa= what does it mean to ‘transmit a torrent?’
@If I download VLC, which one should I click on? Is it either one with an American flag?
how do I set it up? I mean, I have quick time already. Do I have to change my settings or default?

Sorry, these are the dumbest questions ever

iwamoto's avatar

it’s okay, there are no dumb questions…only dumb people, but serious,
for more about torrens you should read this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.torrent
now for vlc, go to the site, download vlc for mac os x, click any download link (the reason for the different locations is to ensure a faster download) and open the disk image, then just drag the orange cone to your app. folder, and there you go, no installing or extra’s

Well, I’m a fan of torrents, is this just another download site?

iwamoto's avatar

what? transmission? no, transmission is an application that’s totally OS X build, unlike azereus for example, it works very fluid, so try it :)

peedub's avatar

Ok. I have azereus and love it. Is Fluid better?

iwamoto's avatar

no, transmission…and in my oppinion it is.. bust just try em both, see what you like

peedub's avatar

Hey, your guy looks like my guy if I squint my eyes!

iwamoto's avatar

I may not understand the question. My favorite for complete every program is useful to me for everything I do is Adobe Creative sweet. Its all good and it all rocks. But I am in that business.

Perhaps he means the MacHeist bundle versus the MacUpdate bundle?

If that’s the case, it really depends on what your needs are. I don’t think either are with it for me since they’re totally unfocused and contain three apps I have no use for for every one that I might use once in awhile.
