10 Freeware Applications Every Mac Should Have

The great thing about freeware applications is, they are free. That is good because it gives people the opportunity to try the software, and if they don't like it, they can just delete it. Here are ten applications:

Firefox is a no brainer. Anybody with a PC or Mac should have that as their default browser.

Bonsai12146661d ago

i wholly disagree. unless you actually have a use for all the plugins that firefox offers, there's no other reason to get it. if all you need is an internet browser, safari is sufficient. i have yet to come upon a website that safari screws up rendering for.

Adium is simply the best chat client out there. every protocol, limitless customization.
Quicksilver makes life so much easier, especially if you have a laptop. it basically eliminates the use of the mouse in most cases.

open office i've found in my experience is a little laggy and slow compared to iwork. but its free, so i'm not complaining.

VLC isn't really necessary if you get the perian plugin for quicktime. the 1.1 release of perian does everything better than vlc, including rendering of stylized subtitles.

Firefox is way better than IE. I love it.

TheExodus6661d ago (Edited 6661d ago )

I can't believe iSquint made the list given how much better at DVD conversion HandBrake is.

Actually I prefer Windows Media Classic not to be confused with WMP11.

cokzilla236661d ago

does anybody know of a chat service that will allow me to use my webcam and mic on my mac. i tried mercury but i cant get the mic to work. does anyone know if adium can do both or if i might be doing something wrong with mercury?

Bonsai12146661d ago

adium in its current form doesn't have video chat. not sure about voice chat though.

and jaja, its media player classic. :-)

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing63d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit63d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing63d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9263d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
