My rant about EyeOne back in February remains exactly on point. Many photographers use the EyeOne colorimeter to profile their displays. ALTERNATIVE SPAMSIEVE WINDOWS SOFTWAREA close second is Microsoft’s Intellimouse software (free download) which works well with their RF wireless mouse. I have tried many mouse utilities and this one is the best. The closest it came was the MightyMouse with its scroll ball, but the latter would clog and fail after use, and could not be repaired unless you took a hacksaw to the little bugger. Over these many years, despite its focus on the UI, Apple has never got the mouse remotely right. SteerMouse not only does the trick, allowing extensive programming of additional buttons, it also allows me to use a proper mouse with OS X in contrast to the execrable offerings from Cupertino.

It’s the best $30 you will ever spend, from the change left after junking your iMac and building a reliable Hackintosh. SpamSieve integrates tightly into Apple Mail, the latter much improved with the ‘Conversations’ feature in Lion. Michael Tsai, the author, does a superb job of keeping it updated for new OS X releases. The one in Apple Mail works about as well as Finder, meaning hold your nose. Total Finder integrates tightly into OS X and version updates after new OS X releases are timely.īy broad acclaim, SpamSieve is the best spam filter in the universe for Apple Mail. Total Finder takes out some of the reekage with enhanced features like split screens and is highly recommended.
