fgrab 1.0b3, the screen movie utility
TIMESFORFUN.DE RELEASES FGRAB 1.0b3 BETA 3, THE SCREEN MOVIE CAPTURE UTILITY
Germany, Feb 21, 2007 - TIMESFORFUN.de announces the release of fgrab
1.0b3 beta 3 for Mac OS X
fgrab is a screen movie capture utility. Capture everything on the
screen and save it as a QuickTime movie. Under the hood fgrab has a
highly sophisticated capture engine.
fgrab is still beta. Interested in beta testing? fgrab beta is about
70 % faster than the leading screen movie capture utility. On a
MacBook Pro 1.83 GHz fgrab needs about 20% of the CPU processing
power to capture the whole screen (1440 x 900 px @ 30 fps). If only a
special area of the screen is in motion (that is the normal case),
fgrab merely needs 5% or less. The third beta release is the first
stable release. IMPORTANT: This kind of software is really hardware
dependent and might not run properly on all systems, but on most!
It's still beta... fgrab currently does not work properly with the
Intel GMA 950 chip (in MacBook and Mac mini).

What ToDo 1.0

LinkOptimizer 2.1 for Adobe InDesign
Toronto (ON), Canada--FEBRUARY 8, 2007--Zevrix Solutions today
announced the release of version 2.1 of LinkOptimizer, the solution
for reducing the size of images linked to Adobe InDesign document
automatically.

program automatically reduces the size of linked images with an
effective resolution higher than the user-defined target resolution,
as well as images that were cropped in InDesign. LinkOptimizer opens
the images in Photoshop, automatically reduces their resolution, and
scales and crops them, replicating their dimensions in the InDesign
document. LinkOptimizer then reimports the images into the document
at 100% in precise position.
Version 2.1 introduces the following new features: -Processing of
rotated links - this major improvement will help users achieve even
greater effectiveness by optimizing an additional group of images

line of freeware utilities for Mac OS X computers.
February 7, 2007 - Do you have a shiny new iPod in your pocket? Or
perhaps a flash drive or small portable hard drive? Now you can turn
it into a Mac OS X diagnostic, repair, and maintenance tool. DasBoot
allows you to take any third party boot CD (such as those shipped by
SubRosaSoft.com Inc, Prosoft Engineering Inc, Alsoft Inc, or Micromat
Inc) and quickly create a bootable diagnostic device that contains
any of your own utilities you may wish to install.
You can use your iPod to boot and repair Mac OS X computers* without
erasing it and taking away your ability to play music. With the help
of DasBoot you get to carry all the tools you'll need with you. But

Freeverse Introduces Think
New York, NY - February 6th, 2007 - Freeverse today announced the
first official release of Think, a new way of working with your Mac
when you just need to focus. Think is a cleverly streamlined
application to shift your workflow from overwhelming to under-control
with just the flick of a mouse.
Think allows users to "illuminate" any Mac OS X application they'd
like, blocking distractions from other windows and applications, so
that they can focus on the task at hand. Since many work projects
require multiple applications, Think also allows guest applications
to be temporarily brought forward, and when no longer needed, quickly
hides them away.
"Mac users have always been inclined towards being more productive,"
said Freeverse developer Michael Watson. "Think lets you put all the
distractions in the background and just work."
"Think carries on the Freeverse tradition of top-notch OS X software
- it's slick, clean, and efficient," added Freeverse President Ian
Lynch Smith. "we're happy...

BlogAssist 2.1
System menu item to help with HTML markup for blogs and more.
PORTLAND, Oregon -- February 5, 2007 -- Dejal today announced the
immediate availability of Dejal BlogAssist 2.1, a handy tool to help
weblog and website editing by making HTML markup easier.
There are three easy ways to use it: you can use whichever one you
prefer, or all three as desired.

side of the menubar in all applications. You can simply select and
copy some text into the clipboard, choose a suitable operation from
the menu, then paste the result in the desired location. The text
will have been transformed like magic. For example, copying hey and

text, wrapped around the original text.

Wake Assist 1.0
UK, Europe - 6 February, 2007 - DssW, the leading developer of Mac
energy saving software, today announced the launch of Wake Assist 1.0
for Mac OS X. This free utility helps fix a rare stuck-until-clicked
wake bug in Mac OS X.
Wake Assist helps by providing a couple of automated mouse clicks
after waking from sleep; these clicks help nudge a stuck Mac to fully
wake up.
"We hope this tool delights those few Mac users having problems with
Mac OS X's energy saving capabilities." said Graham Miln, DssW's
director.
Wake Assist needs no setting up. As a daemon process it runs quietly
in the background. When the Mac wakes up Wake Assist checks for user
activity; if no activity is detected, a couple of automatic mouse
clicks are performed to display and hide the Apple menu.
This tool is aimed at users taking advantage of Apple's Energy Saver
schedule to wake up their Mac without a user being present. This
capability is often used to automate back ups.
