Ever wanted to type or
sketch something quickly right there, on the Mac
OS desktop, without first opening an application
for it? Well,
Conjure (now at
v.4.1) offers you just that. You can do more
than type or sketch, too, but actually
brainstorm with mind maps. The new version is
Snow Leopard compatible and offers new
backdrops, a Knife tool "for cutting anything",
and more. See the company's website for video
demonstrations and a free trial version.

With many children now
boasting their own iPod touch devices, the issue
of protective browsing is no longer limited to
the desktop computer at home or at school. To
ensure they avoid unsavory websites while
browsing on the move, parents can now install
iWonder Surf. Based on the
Safari Web browser.This allows you to filter site
traffic, and even find out if your child is
surfing the Web during school hours, and view
traffic and control Web surfing permissions, or
even disable its Web access, from anywhere without
having to have physical access to the device.
