Top List of applications for your Mac

Mac OS Market Share

Every day the Mac user base increases, many coming from sisteminha uncle's gates, which I personally feel very good, after all, the Mac OS is an operating system much better, safer, more stable than the "windows". Where indicated Linux as an option to people who came to me saying he could not but both "stick" in "windows", but it is clear that not everyone is suited to Linux, even today with great and friendly distros like Ubuntu or Open Suse I even ended up redendo Jobs and his uncle bought a beautiful iMac Intel , and as it would be just enjoying very clear that computer and your operating system. Before any scream I sold myself: I still have Ubuntu installed on my laptop and I use.

The fact is that having a Mac is still a high cost for people in Brazil, but it is improving slowly with Apple finally realizing the Brazilian market as something that is worth exploring, perhaps being pushed by the "crisis" that affects Apple owns the U.S. decided to open his eyes for us Latinos would say that saying, the water hit. But regardless, something happened and people began to think that since there is now compatible with Intel would not be so hard just to install an OS on a standard PC, and it worked, several "distros" appeared on the internet and today is very easily able to download an installation ISO and try his luck on a desktop or even a laptop, you are welcome " Hackintosh ".

But what leads me to write this article is that various friends and acquaintances, which eventually migrate to the Mac, just come ask me what I indicate to install hackintosh in his beautiful brand new, and there I go and look in my Applications keep typing and pointing sites and where to find each application, so to ease my life and that I will still ask the same question, here is my Top Apps List.

  • Mobilescientist says:

    Mac speaks, what háaaaa?
    very good list of programs above.
    Use the unRarX, a utility to decompress files rar.
    What pleases me very much on a mac usability and presence of native programs that fulfill the role as well as intended. For example, to merge multiple PDF files into one, you can configure the automator. The same is true with writing dvds native. In addition to the free virus spyes walks, Mac seems to be almost self-sufficient. But the above programs add much.
    big hug and good show on Sunday (today)

  • Mobilescientist says:

    Me again: the Zipeg has a better interface compared to unRarX. The Perian adds support for new video formats to QuickTime. In addition to growl, gives a concert in the notifications. Such as free apps.

  • Mobilescientist says:
