I am sure that most students out there are always looking for a way to better organize their work, whether it be keeping track of grades, or even when assignments, quiz/tests, projects, papers, and other things are due. Well, if you use your computer a lot like myself, this app may come in very handy (if you are in school that is)! Schoolhouse 2 allows anyone to really take total control of their organization skills. This app allows you to pretty much do whatever your teachers do to keep track of your assignments, grades, and how to figure your end result (i.e. Final Grade). This app not only lets you input the assignments, their point totals, and your scores, but it also allows you to change the weight percentage each section of the class is worth.
Sadly, no teacher is the same, so with Schoolhouse 2, anyone can create an organized section dedicated to those pesky ways of his or her teacher. Lets say you have Dr. Butinsky. He has a way of weighting your grades differently then most "normal" teachers in your school. Well it is easy to change up that one class without affecting any of the other classes. This app truly brings out the best in every student, and if you are a student in High School, or even College, I would highly recommend using this app to keep track of everything. This app is so good, who knows how long it will stay freeware, so make sure to check out and leave a comment on what you think!

BetterZip is everything that it's name says it is. This app beats out any other unzipping program out there for the mac. Some of the special stuff on this app which makes it so good is that you can choose which files in a zip or rar file you want. On top of that, it works nicely, and in a very efficient way. This app also allows you to create rar files which is also really useful. Getting sick of StuffIt Expander? Buy BetterZip Today!!!

Well, I am always looking for new apps for my mac, and I am always looking for alternative apps for web browsing. While in my never ending quest to find the perfect web browser for me, I stumbled upon Shiira, a free web browser which really has some amazing features. This app is not your ordinary web browsing utility. Instead of having the tabs up on the top, there is a bar (which you can control the size of) with small boxes that represent the sites you have open. Each box actually shows what you were looking at on the site, this sort of gives you a quick preview of what is on the site. On top of that, it has a really nice interface, works well (better then Safari in my very own opinion), and really has very little flaws. Shiira also does a great job remembering passwords and other things like usernames for sites or blogs (like this one). If you are looking for a better alternative to FireFox or Safari, check out Shiira and tell me what you think!
