Fluid and two other graphic programs for Mac

Fluid

While we're fans of tabbed browsersoften using Firefox or Safari with 15 to 20 open tabsthis approach to en-masse web surfing does have its downsides. For example, a particularly buggy site that repeatedly takes down your browser and all its tabs. If you ever find yourself thinking, Gee, wouldnt it be great if I could just run that one page in its own little browser? then you'll want to give Fluid a try. Fluid lets you convert any Web site into its own standalone browsing application with a trivial amount of effort. These mini-programs, known as site-specific browsers (SSBs), are built around WebKit, the open-source Web-browser engine that also powers Apples Safari browser.

James Dempsey took a look at two image-editing programs that aim to provide less-expensive alternatives to Adobe Photoshop. The $40 Acorn is a simple program made for those who just want to crop a photo, add some text, and maybe do some minor editingwithout the palettes, steep learning curve, and off-putting price tag that accompany many full-blown image editors.

The $59 Pixelmator is a layers-based editor that uses Apples Core Image, over 20 selection tools, 15 color correction tools, 50 filters, and support for over 100 file formats to fill the giant void between Photoshop and Acorn.
