04 DaisyDisk 1.5.3 for Mac OS X
Missing Manual DaisyDisk Team has announced the release of
DaisyDisk 1.5.3, an update to their award-winning, hard disk
visualization utility for Mac OS X. Disk contents are displayed as
an interactive sunburst map, quickly revealing large files which
may no longer be necessary. The sunburst map provides a quick
color-coded overview of disk usage, and can be simply navigated
to preview deeper levels of data. Unlike some similar products,
DaisyDisk spots the actual large files, rather than deleting
certain dispensable files. The 1.5.3 is a maintenance update
that provides a few necessary bug fixes and tweaks.

08 AppDelete 3.1.2
The Mac has long been thought of as not needing a program
to uninstall. Well, the longer we have Mac OS X, the more it
becomes clear that more and more artifacts are left behind
when we just drag an application to the trash. Last week,
Reggie Ashworth announced AppDelete 3.1.2.
With a simple Drag & Drop, AppDelete will uninstall anything
along with all of the associated items. Mac users will no
longer have to hunt through their system to find and delete
these items manually. AppDelete is a must-have utility
for beta testers and the perfect companion to
any Mac fanatic's toolbox.

highlights of any graphic designer's career, but to achieve
the ultimate success graphic designers must develop business savvy.

10 Direct WiFi printing
One of the big complaints of using 'mobile' devices is the
lack of ability to print. PrintCentral boasts major enhancements
to take advantage of 3G iPads or iPhones to enable anyone to
print remotely back to their office or home printer
from anywhere via 3G/EDGE.

12 Quote: Are you up to it?
The greater danger for most of us is
not that our aim is too high and we miss it,
but that it is too low and we reach it.
--Michelangelo
It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers,
but for powers equal to our tasks,
--Helen Keller
