Daily Mac App: App Tamer

by Samuel Gibbs (Oct 25th, 2011)

Last week we covered BatterySqueezer, an app designed to throttle browser processes when backgrounded. Today we'll take a look at App Tamer, a similar non-Mac App Store app that takes things further. App Tamer goes beyond throttling and will actually put applications into suspended animation. ...

by Samuel Gibbs (May 18th, 2011)

For the most part your Mac just works, but for some of us, we want a little more information on how well our Macs are working and what's doing what, when. That's where apps like the mainstay of the Mac monitors, iStat Pro and iStat Menus come in. Today we'll be taking a quick look at a small, ...

Like me, there are probably a lot of fresh new TextMate users out there in the audience thanks at least in part to MacHeist, so I thought it would be pertinent to point out a few helpful resources Allan Odgaard (TM's developer) maintains at macromates.com. Of course the searchable mailing list and ...

Cocoa Blogs, by Scott Stevenson

by David Chartier (Dec 12th, 2006)

I have to admit right up front that I'm not as familiar with the Mac dev community as I'd like to be.
