Note to self: Check out the free version of BumpTop for Mac described in this CNET article…

The product’s website is found at:
Looked around for an Exif Editor for Mac OS X and found…
Latest version was updated today (Jan. 10, 2010). So, it looks like a “live” freeware project.
Looking through VMware Fusion 3 new features list…
Not convinced I need to upgrade for $39.99 despite the impressive list of new features and reasonable upgrade price. I have not been using virtualization much on my Mac recently
Microsoft Mesh is one of several online storage services from the software giant. Others include Skydrive (my favorite) and Office Live. The latest version of Mesh is compatible with OS X Snow Leopard.

Hmm. According to ars technica, it costs $54.95 to upgrade a copy of Mac Dictate to version 1.5.

MacRumors has an interesting item about a new virtualization product from Citrix…
Citrix Demos of a New Kind of Virtual Machine for Mac
Citrix’s XenClient for Mac is a bare-metal virtualization technology. This means that its sits natively on the computer instead of working with an already installed host operating system. VMware Fusion and Parallels Desktop, for example, both install on top of Mac OS X. The best known bare-metal virtualization product is VMware ESX which is a heavy duty (and very expensive) enterprise grade server product.
But since Mac OS X’s license does not, if I recall correctly, allow the end-user to run it as a virtual machine guest OS, how to you run a OS X on top of XenClient?
Like a lot of people I reported earlier that Pangea Software stopped Mac app development to focus on the iPhone. Unlike a lot of people, though, I went to the source to set the record straight. You can hear what Pangea CEO & Founder Brian Greenstone says on this topic. Short story, we all got it wrong. Listen to the podcast for the details.
I just heard Andy Ihnatko mention on the MacBreak Weekly podcast that a new Open Source project has picked up where the late great VisualHub (project shut down last year) left off. It is called…

Video Monkey is a Mac-only application for the conversion of video between a variety of formats. It borrows concepts from the great, but now defunct Video Hub software.
