Thumbscrew Your Thumbnails

by Mat Lu (RSS feed) on Jan 17th, 2007

If you want to add a little pizzaz to thumbnails of your pictures (e.g. for posting on your website, etc.) then Thumbscrew is for you. You just drag and drop your images on the little application window and it will automatically create rotated (i.e. screwed) thumbnails like the one to the right. You can set the amount of rotation, thumbnail size, and there's even Growl support.

Thumbscrew is a free download from Urbanape.

Opera 9 goes Universal

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Jun 20th, 2006

Opera, the little browser that could (and did - go free, that is), has finished its beta and reached version 9, going Universal in the process. New features include:
  • a built-in BitTorrent client
  • adding your favorite search engines to Opera's search bar simply by right-clicking them
  • site-specific preferences for cookies, pop-ups, etc.
  • thumbnail previews of tabs when hovering over them
  • widgets (hey, at least they didn't call 'em 'gadgets')
  • customizable content blocker
  • and more
This version definitely seems snappier now that it's Universal, and (say what you have to) these new enhancements like a built-in BitTorrent client show that Opera is blazing a trail faster than its competition. Give this version a whirl if you haven't touched Opera in a while but are still curious about it. If you need help with a browser transition, why not check out some of the del.icio.us tools (like my personal favorite: Delibar) we've blogged that take the 'bookmarks bar' out of the browser and into Mac OS X's menubar, removing the need for worrying about which browser you're using.

Widget Watch: iPhoto mini 1.3 gains a new UI, more

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on May 23rd, 2006

We blogged the iPhoto mini widget back in December, and since then it has received quite the feature update and face lift. The widget is now resize-able and just plain sexier. In addition to being able to browse all your iPhoto albums complete with image counts, you can now set the current image as your desktop wallpaper with a single click. The little gear icon you see offers the ability to open the current image in four apps: Preview, Mail, Safari and a custom app you can define on the back of the widget.

The iPhoto mini widget is free and available from DashboardWidgets.
