Google Chrome has *finally* worked its way onto Mac OS X featuring the same fast page load speeds and sporting a sleek native look. 
Click for full image.
Chrome looks set to be a perfect Mac browser with its incredibly simple design and easy to use interface - perfect for laptops. The menu bar in OS X drastically improves functionality, keeping a simple user interface - hidden in Windows by default.
The downloads function makes finding downloaded files a lot easier and cuts out the need for a separate downloads window, which can be annoying when it disappears into the background. In chrome the downloads page might seem a bit rustic - being purely a webpage but the advantage of having it open in a tab makes it much easier to use.
Chrome features many of the same functions as the other mainstream browsers, such as private browsing, bookmark organisation and now even bookmark synchronisation. Chrome has also now opened up to community plug-ins and extensions, this perhaps doesn't rival Firefox however it’s a start and the opportunity is there.
Chrome is still in development and the beta hasn't even been released publicly yet, however in the time I've been using it I haven’t encountered a single bug. |

Rainmeter is definitely my find of the month. Its a desktop overlay for Windows that looks incredibly stylish, is non-distracting and is 100% customizable.
The customization aspect requires some working out but when you figure everything out you will have complete control over every aspect of the program, you can even notepad edit different gadgets in .ini files and change/add/remove as you please.
This is my current setup which is pretty basic showing just a music gadget, system stats, date/time, and uptime. I find this is all I would ever need, there is no preset for that configuration I had to position every gadget manually, lock them in place by making them unclickable and then save the config in the preset list. Rainmeter starts automatically on startup without lag and uses barely any resources.
If your looking for a subtle overlay rather than bloated vista gadgets then Rainmeter is for you.
On the other hand Rainmeter comes packed with gadgets and can be used to build a complete interactive interface for your desktop (that looks very cool) add on skins and gadgets can be found in their community forums.
For example the AlphaBar from redblackproductions: http://redblackproduction.deviantart.com/art/Alphabar-1-0-135650634
Rainmeter can be downloaded free from their website and also via Googlecode.

Ever downloaded a song, MP3 that just isnt loud enough? Crank it up to 11 using a handy new features in iTunes! This is a simple solution that cuts the need for sound editors like Audacity.
When iTunes is loaded select the songs that need the volume adjusted:
Then right click and click Get Info:

Click Yes.
And on the Options tab you can adjust the volume to your liking using the slider.
Once your finished just click OK and once you've re-synced your music to your iPod the songs will be adjusted.
