Moom

• $5

• Application/window sizer

• Size an app to half, quarter screen with ease

• Size to a grid - great for spcaing out apps easily

• Create window layouts - handy for common task involving a few app’s....like podcasting, graphic editing, coding

• A tool OS X should really have built in

Chris

Do Not Track +

• Essentially a browser plugin that blocks tracking data from reporting back about your visits.

• Chrome, FF, IE, Safari / Mac, PC

• Stops an awful lot of ‘chatter’ that goes between advertising and tracking companies and social visit tracking through like/+1 buttons.

• Stops analytics tracking.

• Doesn’t stop some tracking - especially where logged in and interacting with social buttons so not fool proof by any means
