- MailTags and iGTD unite features in the name of productivity and discounts
Filed under: Retail, Software, Productivity, Internet Tools
A recent update to iGTD brought some significant enhancements, one of which is very, very rich integration with Scott Morrison's MailTags 2.0. With v1.4.3, iGTD can process most of the MailTags 2 information attached to an Apple Mail message. For example: keywords in MailTags prefixed with @ will get translated into contexts, while your other tags will simply become regular tags in iGTD. Same with projects, deadlines, priorities and even notes added to Apple Mail messages with MailTags: they'll all effortlessly transfer over into iGTD when importing messages with an F-key.
If this is all getting your productivity and GTD gears turning but you haven't purchased MailTags yet, Scott Morrison and Bartlomiej Bargiel (iGTD's developer) have just offered a partner promotion that should do the trick: for a limited time, when users donate to iGTD, they can contact the author and receive a $5 coupon off the $29.95 retail price of MailTags 2.0. I say 'limited time' because, as of this writing, they have 35 coupons left, though Scott said he's definitely willing to whip up more coupons depending on how much interest spawns from this promotion (I know, I know: I warned them about the TUAW effect, so we'll see).
As an extremely happy and paid user of MailTags and a budding GTD user for whom iGTD finally made sense, this sounds like a great deal for anyone looking to get more productive with their email. MailTags and iGTD: two great tastes that taste great together.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Software, Internet Tools
LogMeIn looks like a great way to support those remote Mac users in your life that depend on you. In my circle of friends I am known as the computer guy (both Macs and PCs, I'm just that good) so I know the pain of trying to get someone to launch System Preferences over the phone. 'Ok, just click on the little icon in the Dock that looks like an Apple with a switch next to it. Sure is taking you awhile to find it.. Oh, you decided to click a bunch of stuff I didn't tell you to click. Yeah, that's great. Now, do you have a recent backup handy?'
Suffice to say, tech support over the phone isn't fun when you're supporting people who aren't especially technically savvy. Enter LogMeIn, which offers up a simple and free way to remotely administer someone else's Mac from a web browser (sadly, Safari only for now). The product is in beta at the moment (what isn't in beta in this day and age) but it looks promising and you can't beat the price.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Odds and ends, Apple TV
No one has ever accused me of being stylish (I'm the type of geek who wears Hawaiian shirts and shorts most of the time), so I might not be the best person to write about iStyle's new Apple TV Skins. The Skins are basically stickers that you can slap onto your Apple TV to give it a little personality, and the kits come with a matching sticker for your Apple Remote (which would make it easier for multiple Apple Remote households to tell which remote goes with which device).
The Apple TV Skins cost $14.99 each.

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Software, Odds and ends, Developer
I know it is traditional for Mac users to dislike Microsoft, but I think that's silly. Outside of Apple, Microsoft is the largest Mac developer and they do make some cool software (can you imagine a world without Office? I can't. And judging from what I saw at Macworld 2007, Office for the Mac 2008 is going to rock). I bring all of this up because there is a new sheriff in the MacBU (that's the Macintosh Business Unit at Microsoft) town. Gone is Roz Ho, former General Manager of the MacBU. She has been replaced by Craig Eisler, though don't worry about Roz, she is still at Microsoft and we at TUAW wish her all the best.
Check out Craig's first post on Mac Mojo and this post on his personal blog in which he lists ten things he loved from Apple.
Welcome, Craig, and when you get a chance could you make sure that Microsoft released a Universal Binary of Remote Desktop? That would make this blogger a very happy fellow.

Filed under: Software, Productivity
Cha-Ching, the streamlined money manager that aims to put the fun back finances, has made a minor update to v1.0.3 with some truly useful new features and fixes. At the top of the list is a database migration to Mac OS X's built-in SQLite to boost performance, as well as search enhancements for using multiple tags and searching both To and From fields, but that's not all. Included in the update are:
- OFX and QFX support added
- Can now sort transactions in Print Panel
- Printing now uses already filtered list of transactions
- Source pane can now be expanded much more
The update can be had either by running Cha-Ching (chose Check for Updates from the app menu if it doesn't check automatically), or by heading over to the Midnight Apps site.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Cult of Mac, MacBook
We've seen scorched Macs before, but nothing quite like this. After a devastating fire at their Boulder home last week, Gwen and Paul returned to find their formerly sleek white MacBook decidedly crispier.
From all of us at TUAW, here's hoping that they get back on their feet fast and back to doing whatever they do best.
