Pixelmator: Graphics for the rest of us
Pixelmator
Pixelmator claims to be one of the easiest to use graphics application around for Mac. Now, I’m no graphics expert. I have relatively little experience with graphics, but I do mock-up websites in fireworks and do some basic photo editing in Photoshop.
What caught my attention about Pixelmator was it’s seemingly simple, elegant, user interface. This is one thing I like in all applications and I am always looking out for Apps that look good as well as being functional.

So, how does the $59 (around £40) Pixelmator stack up against the competition?

An App Store Rant
The App Store
Oh App Store, how we love thee! Your Apps populate our mobile devices that we download and buy with ease. Your developers give us innovative and exciting apps to use. Your shiny blue icon appears on our mobile devices, so why am I so annoyed with you?
The truth is, I’m not. I have no problem with the App Store itself. What I do have a problem with, is the App Store users! The people that review these apps and give their amateur, shallow viewed thoughts on a brilliant piece of software engineering – they annoy me!

Wake up to Aurora
Aurora
If you’re anything like me, when you go away, be it to a conference or on holiday, the first thing you pack is your MacBook!
If your MacBook is with you at all times, it makes sense for it to take care of everything for you; Calendar, bookings, reservations and Alarm Clock.
But how do you wake yourself up in the morning with your Mac? Sure, many apps will do it as a little side feature, but what about an app specifically designed to be your own personal waker-uper? Enter: Aurora.
