Its Friday. The end of the week is here, the week end is just a couple of hours away. What can you do to entertain yourself while those last couple of hours tick away before you can be released from work. The answer is time wasting apps. This apps serve no real purpose except for entertainment. This list of ten items, is designed to be fun and let the time slip away. Be careful, before long you could be comeaddicted and end up doing more than just wasting time. Most of the apps on this list are games, but games are always fun. This list is in no particular order.

In a previous post, I can’t remember which, some one mentioned about a list of the must have installed apps that should come with your Mac. For example you have your default apps such as iTunes, iMovie etc, the apps listed below are designed to join that list. These are my personal preference for must have apps. I have tried to be as broad as possible, using applications which nearly everyone uses. If you want to add your app please leave a comment.

Its been a long time since I have done a comparison between two applications. This post will compare the two applications Checkout and Lightspeed. Theses applications are both designed for shops. They are applications which are designed to help shop employees sell their products. I am interested in this type of product since they are always well built and do have a lot of features. These two products are priced differently for different markets, as you will see from this post. This review will be split up into different sections, installation, interface, ease of use, price and finally my recommendation.

I like good software for the Mac. I also like cheap software. What is better than good software being heavily discounted? This site, called Mac Mix Promo, is designed around giving you good software at a cheap price. As limited offer, similar to MacPromo and MacHeist. For every piece of software you buy you earn so much off. It similar to the promos we have all heard off, but is designed to give you more control and more of a discount.
