LittleSnapper, Skitch, and Web Snapper: Why You Still Need All Three
… or, more accurately, why I still need all three.
LittleSnapper, Skitch, and Web Snapper are all screen capture utilities for the Mac. LittleSnapper, released yesterday, is the newest of the bunch; it lets you capture and catalogue “snaps” of your screen or web pages. Skitch, which has been in public beta for over a year, lets you quickly and easily grab and share portions of your screen or entire windows. Finally, Web Snapper integrates with Safari and captures web pages, giving you the option of saving them as images or PDFs.
While all three are great products, none of the three does it all. Below is a summary of what each program excels at.

LittleSnapper Released
Realmac Software’s latest app, LittleSnapper, is now out of beta.
LittleSnapper is a screen capture utility that lets you grab entire webpages, windows, or a portion of your screen. You can catalogue and organize your captures, annotate them, and share them via Flickr, FTP, or through Realmac’s own QuickSnapper service.

TopStyle Acquired by New Developer
Nick Bradbury has posted to his blog, letting people know that TopStyle has been acquired by a new developer:
I have some good news for TopStyle customers: we’ve reached an agreement with long-time Windows developer Stefan van As to acquire TopStyle, ensuring the future of the product.
The most interesting bit is that TopStyle 4.0 is already underway and that it will include some long-wanted features, such as Unicode support, ‘live’ FTP editing, and extensible tool buttons.
TopStyle 4.0 is expected in Q1 2008. You can find more details in the FAQ on Stefan’s site.

Highbrow
A few weeks ago, I wrote about Choosy, a Mac utility that let’s you override the default browser preferences in OS X. Well, Highbrow from Helium Foot Software does the same, giving you control over your Mac browsers.
Highbrow runs in the menubar and has three basic behaviours:
- Use My Preferred Web Browser
- Use the Most Recently Used Web Browser
- Ask Me Which Browser to Use
Highbrow is currently in public beta and can be downloaded as a free trial. The app will cost $14USD upon release, but if you purchase it now, it’s $12.
Cyber Monday Deal: Get VMWare Fusion for as Little as $10
I posted earlier about how you could get VMWare Fusion for 25% off regular price. But, for today only, you can get this virtualization app for 50% off by using the coupon code “CyberMondayDeal”.
However, if you’re a Parallels user, VMWare also offers a $30 competitive rebate for switchers, which can be combined with the 50% off deal. That means you could get Fusion for as little as $10.
