A long while ago I reviewed AppZapper, its an application designed to go through your computer and help you delete applications. Normally when you delete an app it will leave behind files such a preference files etc. Although these apps are no longer used they are left on your system. As a result it can slowly increase your disk space. Its usually a good idea to get rid of them. AppZapper does cost you money, today’s app AppCleaner is a free app which does the same job.

If you have ever used Photoshop or a similar app, you will at one time or another have come across brushes. I was at one point fascinated at collecting every single one I could find (this also expanded to shapes and fonts), I did this in case I ever needed them. Turns out it didn’t, and Iended up using the same brush over and over again, because it was to hard to look through other brushes. This is where a handy tool such as BrushPilot comes in. Its a brush viewer which you can use to preview brushes. Its blazingly fast and in my opinion should come with any new version of Photoshop.

Every one likes a good, simple game that they can get there teeth sunk into. Todays game, Neon Tango, is based on the popular Xbox Arcade game Geometry Wars. Its great fun to play and master. In essence the game is you, in your little space ship, fighting off the horde of enemy space craft. Its a top down shooter with very simple graphics. However the game quickly becomes hard, and you have to quickly master and manage youpower ups and weapons before the enemy over run the board and you sink to a terrible defeat.

I like playing computer games, a good way to relax and let the time pass. One of my favourite games is Mahjong, although I don’t play the actual Chinese version against many people, I do like to play the variant where you have to remove the tiles. MyMahj is a similar version which you can play on your Mac at your leisure. This game isn’t brilliant, but it is free and its a good way to waste some time.

You may have noticed the new design here on iLoveMacApps. You don’t need to adjust your browser, I have decided to do a small re-design to bring it inline with the other website I own and run. I hope you like this new design, since I think it is easier to use. Plus it is really light on code making it blindingly fast to run and use. This post is going to be a little who’s who on the new features.

Even though the only direction the stock market is going is down, it can be quite useful to track it, especially if you have stock options. Todays app is called Stox, its a fully fledged program designed to track stock. You can enter different stock, “purchase” stock and watch how the price goes up and down. There is lots of different analytical options including reports and how much you have been making, plus various options such as tracking the quotes.
