smcFanControl 2.0 released
smcFanControl 2.0 is a complete rewrite. It includes the following improvements:
• Version 1.x was a "regular" application located in the dock. Version 2.0 sits in the menubar for quicker access to the fan settings, easier monitoring and a better overall user-experience
• Version 2.0 supports every intel mac
• In Version 2.0 you can save different fan-settings as favorites and active them with just one mouse-click
• On portables you can autoapply different fan-settings, when the powersource changes. So you can cool down your macbook automatically when its loading the battery (and is typically running hotter).
• Version 2.0 has got an "add to login-items option"
• Version 2.0 uses standard OS X authentication

Info: On Macbook Pro's the speed of fan #2 can not be set under the speed of fan #1. This behavious seems to be due a setting in SMC controller. I can not change it.

ShuffleSaver 1.0 released

Do you think screensavers are boring? Then you should try ShuffleSaver. In my opinion it's the most dynamic screensaver to date: It grabs your favorite photos (by tags, username or interestingness) from flickr.com and shuffles them. So everytime your screensaver starts, you will see amazing new pictures. You can even create favorites of your settings or save your favorite images to your harddisk. Screensavers are not boring anymore...

TextClipping 1.0 released
TextClips are created whenever you drag some text to the Finder or Desktop. Unfortunately Spotlight does not index TextClips, cause Apple did not include an importer for those files. TextClipping is that missing importer. Just install it and your TextClips will be searchable.
