Courier: Great New Mac App from Realmac Coming Soon

Courier is an awesome new app from Realmac Software (which I’m lucky enough to have already tested) set to come out on OS X “in about a week”. Or at least that’s what the teaser website says.

I can’t really say what the app does yet, but as you can see in the video (embedded below, together with the final icon) support for websites like Youtube, Vimeo and Flickr will be part of the application. All I can say is that Courier is great, and will probably turn out to be one of the best apps released on Mac this year.

Check out the video below, follow @courierapp for exclusive news and stay tuned for a review on MacStories as soon as the app will be available.

iMac Touch Finally Shows Up in Patent - And It Runs Both OS X and iOS

There’s this iMac Touch rumor that has been floating around on the internet for quite a while now: back in January Digitimes reported that Apple was working on a 22-inch touch-enabled Mac in addition to the iMac line, then 2 months ago LoopRumors claimed that Apple was developing a touchscreen iMac running iOS.

moveAddict: Cut & Paste for Mac OS X

Mac users who owned a Windows machine miss one thing from Finder: cut & paste. The move command, the possibility to cut a file from its original position and paste it in another one without the need to copy it. Mac OS X lack this feature by default.

I’ve recently stumbled upon a nice little tweak by Kapeli, moveAddict, which enables the aforementioned functionality and doesn’t get in the way. It’s available for free (1 cut at a time), but you can buy a “Pro” version which lets you move multiple files at once. Of course, the app works with the standard ⌘ + X and ⌘ + V shortcuts, but you can opt for custom ones. The app lives in the menubar, and notifies you when a file has been cut and pasted.

Free, or 5 bucks for the paid version. Useful.

Apple Hiring To Work on Revolutionary OS X Feature

We don’t know what the Mac OS X gang is working on down at Cupertino, but they’re looking to hire a young expert (maybe such as yourselves) who have lots of experience in the Objective-C, HTTP Protocols, and everything else on top of that. If you’re thinking cloud computing, you’ve read my mind.
