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.
1Password — Buy 1, Get 1 Free
1Password is easily one of my favourite Mac utilities, and from now until November 30th, you can send a free license to a friend who hasn’t discovered the simple joys of crossbrowser password management.
If you’re an existing license holder, go to http://agile.ws/gift/thanksgiving and submit your information. If you’re not a customer, go to http://agile.ws/store?d=Thanksgiving and purchase a copy of the software. You’ll get a free copy to send to a friend plus you’ll get 15% off your purchase.
For a reader out there who doesn’t have a license but wants one, be the first to leave a comment and I’ll gift a license to you.
UPDATE: Agile Web Solutions has increased the number of free licenses we can give away, so I have two more I can send out. Leave a comment if you’d like a free copy of 1Password. First come, first serve.

More Mac Software Deals: Give Good Food to Your Mac
In case you’re in a software shopping mood today, here’s another way for Macheads to spend some money: Give Good Food to Your Mac. For the next 9 days or so (until Dec 1, 2008) you can create your own software bundle from nearly 70 Mac apps, receiving a discount once you’ve put together at least three. You can save up to 50% on your purchase if you buy five or more apps.
Unlike MacHeist, which often gets berated, Give Good Food to Your Mac seems more about the promoted than the promoters. And, because there are so many apps to choose from, you can put together your perfect bundle and save some money at the same time.
The current Top 10 apps (I’m assuming that means top 10 with the most sales thus far) are:
- Bee Docs Timeline – 3D Edition
- HoudahSpot
- ShareTool
- Hydra 1.6 + Aperture plug-in
- MacPilot3
- Kameleon
- Blue Crab
- Voice Candy
- Today
- SplitFuse 2.2

If you’re interested in Basecamp, the 37Signals project management webapp, they’re currently offering a 25% discount off new sign-ups and upgrades today only (Nov. 4, 2008) until midnight Eastern Standard time. Enter the coupon code VOTE to get the deal.
If you’re an existing Basecamp customer, and DON’T want to upgrade your account, you can still get 25% off your next bill. Simply choose to upgrade your account, enter the VOTE promo code, then downgrade your plan to what it was — the discount should still be in place.
The 25% off is for one bill only, as far as I can tell, but applies to all of 37Signals’ products.
