Xinema (Free).


Xinema was created due to the lack of full screen playing functionality in Apple's QuickTime Player. It's designed to be an easy solution to this problem. Instead of purchasing QuickTime Pro for $30, you can get this feature for free with Xinema. Xinema provides a floating controller for pausing, fast-forwarding and adjusting the sound volume.

To play a movie, simply drag it from the Finder, drop it on Xinema, and click the Play button.

Celestia Add-Ons (Free).


Last Friday, I featured Celestia, a free space simulation that lets you explore our universe in three dimensions. But there's way more that can be done with Celestia.

Welcome to Celestia Motherlode.

The Celestia Motherlode is a repository for various addons like textures, models or celestial objects for Celestia. Celestia is a free, interactive (real-time), 3D astronomy program. It doesn't just show you the sky as it can be seen from earth as most planetarium software does, but allows you to move to and view the universe from any point between the planets and the stars. The Celestia Motherlode hosts over 10 GB of Celestia addons by various creators, which extend or change the way Celestia renders the universe.

Get Celestia add-ons here.

Pixen (Free).


Pixen is an innovative graphics editor for the Mac. It's designed from top to bottom for pixel artists—people who make low-resolution raster art like the sprites you see in old video games. But it's great for artists of all arenas: Pixen is like a very powerful MSPaint or a simpler, more agile Photoshop. And best of all, it's Free!

Layers allow you to take control of your image's composition and encapsulate its components for efficient editing. Keep shading separate from colors; keep hair separate from the rest of a character's head. And Pixen's the only pixel editor that'll let you do it.

Celestia (Free).

Welcome to Celestia.

... The free space simulation that lets you explore our universe in three dimensions.

Unlike most planetarium software, Celestia doesn't confine you to the surface of the Earth. You can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy.

All movement in Celestia is seamless; the exponential zoom feature lets you explore space across a huge range of scales, from galaxy clusters down to spacecraft only a few meters across. A 'point-and-goto' interface makes it simple to navigate through the universe to the object you want to visit.

Celestia is expandable. Celestia comes with a large catalog of stars, galaxies, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and spacecraft. If that's not enough, you can download dozens of easy to install add-ons with more objects.

xDrive (Free).

Need more remote backup space than that offered by Mozy? (See November 28th entry). xDrive gives you that. xDrive offers a full 5GB of free offsite backup space. xDrive is not as Mac friendly as Mozy and does not use special software on the Mac; instead you backup to xDrive using your web browser. But if your main goal is to get important documents backed up offsite even if it's not in a user friendly manner, xDrive more than fits the bill.

Paparazzi (Free).

Paparazzi is a webpage screen shot capture utility with a difference. Instead of capturing just what you see on the screen, it lets you get a screen shot of the whole webpage. No longer do you need to take a screen shot, scroll down, take another screen shot. Paparazzi captures the whole page, even the parts you can't see.
