ClipClavin - 1.0

ClipClavin is a fun little utility that sits up in the menubar and will allow you to quickly copy & send Safari text, Safari URL’s and even your clipboard to you or any other eMail address–it can even store your clippings to the iPod if you have one!

We always found ourselves wishing to send a small paragraph or text, or even a URL from Safari to other friends–it got tedious to select the text, copy the text, move to Mail, create a new mail, paste the text, pick an address, and hit send…We always wanted a fast way to just select a block of text in Safari and just have it send instantly. On other occasions, we found that we liked to send clippings to our own eMail addresses, and found the numerous steps above to be just to cumbersome. There are small JavaScripts out there that attempt to put this functionality into Safari, but we found they were just not feature-rich enough for our liking. Unfortunately, the “Services” menu just also doesn’t present enough options. Plus, what about sending our clipboard contents to ourselves or another user or saving the text to our iPod? ClipClavin to the rescue! You can even highlight a phone number on a Safari webpage and have it entered right into your Mac OS X address book!

CopyCatX - 4.0

SubRosaSoft CopyCatX is an extremely fast and easy-to-use utility for duplicating a Mac OS X volume or cloning a complete drive. It is perfect for: Anyone who wants to upgrade to a bigger drive. Users backing up their systems with the knowledge that the bootability and user privileges will be retained. Game players who want to make a perfect copy of a drive with all the hidden files duplicated. Systems administrators who need to deploy multiple drives with identical content. Forensic experts whose job requires identical copies of the original drive. Cross-platform users who need to clone a PC or Linux hard drive quickly and easily. CopyCatX utilizes a method called “device-to-device copying” instead of “file-by-file” copy employed by most backup software. Using device copy enables you to retain every detail of the original drive, from bootablity to the icon locations. Device copy is also a lot faster than the traditional file-by-file backup. The use of device copy normally means the size of the destination volume will be the same as the source volume, but with our resizing technology, we have successfully managed to overcome the primary limitation found in other device copy programs. After the device copying is completed, CopyCatX will automatically expand the volume size to the maximum, so no space is wasted. Even with such features and the performance, CopyCatX is extremely straight-forward to use. CopyCatX’s easy-to-use interface was designed for all OS X users. The whole operation can be completed with a few clicks.
