Description: Think is a cleverly streamlined application to shift your workflow from overwhelming to under-control with just the flick of a mouse. Think allows users to "illuminate" any Mac OS X application they'd like, blocking distractions from other windows and applications, so that they can focus on the task at hand. Since many work projects require multiple applications, Think also allows guest applications to be temporarily brought forward, and when no longer needed, quickly hides them away.

Description: An alternative to a static desktop picture - Install a self-updating time-zone map of the earth with day, night, twilight and city lights. The map updates automatically as the world turns. High resolution maps and graphics are individually crafted for 16 different monitor sizes from 800 x 600 all the way up to 2560 x 1600 pixels (The new Apple 30 inch display). While you work or while you leave your computer just sitting there, the newest desk picture keeps slipping behind your icons as often as you choose. The process repeats every time the earth rotates one pixel on your screen. Program operation is time-sliced in order to avoid interruptions of your work. The dock icon menu lets you highlight time zones to find the time at any worldwide location. If you are using two monitors, Live Deskpicture X works with either one or both.

Description: The aim of the DarwinPorts project is to develop a second-generation system for the building, installation and management of third party software. DarwinPorts is mainly developed on Mac OS X, however by design it is quite portable and is intended to work on other UNIX-like systems, especially *BSD and hopefully Linux-based systems.DarwinPorts is probably best described by comparison: It's sort of like the FreeBSD ports collection or Fink in that it automates the process of building third party software for Mac OS X and other operating systems. DarwinPorts also tracks all dependency information for a given piece of software. In other words, it knows what it needs to build and install and in what order for the piece of software you want to work properly. DarwinPorts knows how to make, build and install the software to a specific location, meaning that software installed via DarwinPorts doesn't simply scatter itself all over the system or require user knowledge of dependencies in what order.
