Description: DESCRIPTION SmartSleep.prefPane is a preference pane that dynamically sets the sleep state of your machine. It's a successor to Hibernate.prefPane. The Problem Your macbook or macbook pro knows the following sleep states: sleep: machine will go to sleep only (saves state in RAM only, battery keeps RAM contents) sleep & hibernate: machine sleeps and hibernates. (default) hibernate only machine will go to hibernate only. (saves state on disk, battery will not be used) Just sleep means that the notebook will go to sleep fast, but you loose the ability to change the battery as the battery is needed to keep the contents of the memory (RAM). Just sleep and hibernate will wake the computer fast, but sleeping will take ages as the contents of the memory are saved to disk before entering the sleep. The solution SmartSleep lets your notebook just sleep while the battery has a high level. If the battery level drops below a certain point ( default is less then 20% or 20 minutes ) it will switch to sleep and hibernate...

Description: This program brings back the Apple Menu to Mac OS X and includes also a complete application launcher. By adding one or more global menus to the right side of the menu bar you can easily access your preferred applications, folders (and subfolders), documents and files. Furthermore there's no explicit need for a configuration (e.g. creating lots of folders and aliases or adding items to user-defined setups) - just activate the menus you like. All menus and submenus update themselves automatically just like the good old Apple Menu so it's not necessary to refresh them manually. In addition, XMenu optionally displays small or large icons and follows aliases and symbolic links. Finally, please note that contrary to most other solutions, this is neither a hack ("haxie") nor an unofficial menu extra.What's new in this version:NEW 'Snippets' menu ('~/Library/Application Support/XSnippets/') to easily insert documents and files into the current applica- tion. Supports e.g. plain and rich text files, text clipping...
