That's pretty cool. I'm experimenting with some Spotify widgets right now

I wonder if they have Pandora widgets :O

For the gamers I think there is a Steam widget that gives easy access to your library. Not that desktop shortcuts can't do it, it might just look cooler to you.

Allows you to do bulk renaming operations with a large amount of files without needing to re-save them or do much of the work manually. This can be especially handy if your server goes through a name change or something similar.

This reminds me of Directory Opus. It's an advanced file browser that can replace the default Windows Explorer. It's got tonnes of features, some of which are listed on the link I've provided. It's not free however, but I'm sure there's a torrent somewhere that'll provide it.

Can anybody recommend a decent screen capture tool for OS X? I've enjoyed ShareX on Windows and I'm looking for something along those lines for my Mac, with the most important features being rectangle selection and uploading straight to an image host.

I use Gyazo, it's really nice and uploads directly after you selected what you wanted, which will give you a link to copy/paste to share.

Oh hey I've got this on my phone, didn't know you could get this for computers.

You can tell it works by turning it off after a while of using and feeling the instant burn in your eyes.

Got something similar to this on my Android too though I don't really use it.

I do recommend turning f.lux off before you game though, it used to tank my FPS on Dota 2.

Zennoposter - It's a program that you can basically make do anything that you have to normally do manually, whether it be on a website or on your computer. Very powerful and useful. I originally purchased the 5 thread option, but will be upgraded to unlimited threads.

It only seems to do that for me whenever it starts to transition but yeah thanks for the tip.

I like to game in the dark so this is pretty handy.

Kinda weird considering it looks like the only thing the software does is draw a tinted rectangle over everything else.

F.lux is a really great software for saving your eyes. Once you try it you will see and I really mean see the difference.
