  • MacHeist Bundle

    The guys over at MacHeist have put together another great bundle this year. Check out the list of apps below.

    Apps

    Snapz Pro X and Pixelmator have yet to be unlocked, but if you purchase the bundle now you’ll still get it when it become unlocked. You can pick up a copy here for just $49.

    Update: All the applications have been unlocked!

  • MacHeist Freebies

    Being the evil and sneaky person I am, I thought I’d put up download links to the applications given away during MacHeist that do not require a serial number to use. So now you can enjoy some free Mac software without even registering an account @ MacHeist (though you really should).

    Enjoy!

  • MacHeist 2

    MacHeist 2 has been underway for awhile now, so if you haven’t gotten in on any of the sweet heisting action yet you should really check it out.

    A new heist is about to start as of the time I’m posting this, so now is the perfect time. Plus, the software bundle is coming on the 9th of this month.

    Update: The heist is over, but you can still grab the loot. Register/login to your MacHeist account and then enter 3572 on the safe keypad. You can also grab some extra loot for a limited time by going to the homepage and dragging the picture of the faceless man over and clicking on the bag of loot behind it. Like so…
    Heist

    p.s. In case you didn’t catch the subtle hint in the name, MacHeist is aimed towards Mac users.

    p.p.s. List of applications given away as part of MacHeist 2 after the jump.

    Vienna – An excellent RSS reader

    [ Email ]
    Thunderbird – Mail.app is a fantastic email client, but Thunderbird still outshines it. Truth be told though, I hardly use my desktop email client.

    [ File Sharing ]
    Transmission – A simple, easy to use BitTorrent client that’s a little more developed than Tomato.

    [ FTP ]
    Cyberduck – A departure from the normal two paned view you might be used to in FTP programs, but still a robust program with support for FTP (File Transfer Protocol), FTP/TLS (FTP secured over SSL/TLS) and SFTP

    [ Video Playback ]
    VLC Player – Fast, stable and wide ranging codec support makes VLC a fantastic all around media player
    Flip4Mac – Adds support for playing WMV files in QuickTime

    [ DVD Ripping ]
    Handbrake – It may not offer the widest range of options when ripping a DVD, but it’s straight forward and produces high quality rips with no hassle.

    [ Finance ]
