Ever wonder how to capture a screenshot on OS X, its not quite as easy as a windows box (Print Screen button).
It may not be as easy to capture a screen shot on OS X but its ability is more powerful, first there are 2 different ways to capture a screenshot, you can have it automatically saved as a PNG file on your desktop (Command-Shift-3) or if you’d rather it function like windows you can save the screenshot directly to your clipboard (Control-Command-Shift-3).
However it doesn’t end there, OS X takes it a step further, if you use Command-Shift-4 you will get a crosshair icon, this will let you drag a section box around the area on the screen you want to save. and of course if you use Control-Command-Shift-4 you will also get a crosshair, anything you drag the selection box around will be saved to your clipboard.
So the basic rundown on your screen-shotting ability in OS X:
- Command-Shift-3:
- Save Entire screen to PNG on your desktop.
- Control-Command-Shift-3:
- Save selection to PNG on your desktop.
- Command-Shift-4:
- Save Entire screen to your clipboard.
- Control-Command-Shift-4:
- Save selection to your clipboard.
In my experience I’ve found one small problem with to do applications on the iPhone. At least for me I never actually use it. and since I never open it I forget about things I need to get done. Epic Win ($2.99) fixes that, it combines your to do list with RPG style gameplay. When you add a new item to your to do list you can assign it an XP value to reward you with when you complete that item. Gaining XP causes your character to level up and gain loot. Thus encouraging you to actually work at doing the things on your list of items to do.

I have to admit I think its highly worth the $3 price tag. This little app will be sure to remind you to take out trash, Send that Birthday card and visit the Gym on a regular basis. With Epic win you get to watch your avatars stats develop based on your real life actions.
Every time you complete a task from your task lice you move forward on the quest map, every location will uncover new rare items.
Give Epic Win a try today, and start Leveling up your life!
I picked up iSale 5 a while ago in a bundle of Mac software. I found it’s a wonderful tool to quickly get good looking auctions up on ebay. But it doesn’t stop there iSale offers tools to help you out before and after the auction as well.
Before you even set up your auction iSale’s Research Assistant finds images and descriptions for the items you want to sell. Save the information for later reference or send it straight to your auction template.
After you have your template picked out and are ready to place your action you can schedule the auction to start at a later date. Why would you want to do this? My research and experience shows the best time for your action to end is Sunday evening. Why? That’s the time most people are home from work browsing the internet (and eBay) so what better way to tempt people than an auction that’s ending in an hour or 2?
During the auction iSale will keep tabs on your item even going as far to show you recent bids on the item.
Ok, the auctions over, surly iSales job is done… Right? Nope. Now iSale can help you contact your buyer, and even print a shipping label for your newly sold item.
Equinux recently released iSale express which is the quick way to get your eBay auctions up and running. Dive straight in with a simple choice of designs and layouts. Edit your text, add some photos and watch the bids roll in. iSale express is the basic alternative to the full iSale experience. Its not quite as powerful as iSale 5 but it still helps you get your auctions up quickly. And I have 5 promo codes, I’ll be giving out. What do you need to do? Post a comment telling me what you need to sell on ebay, 5 random commenter’s will get a shiny promo code for iSale express.
