Delteated!

Okay, sorry if I lost you on the strongbad reference there.

We started out by talking about application deleting. AppZapper and AppDelete are a couple. Yes, you can drag something to the trash to uninstall, but this only works for those applications that don’t have “ties” to the rest of your system. Most programs save data such as preferences and passwords in other locations on your computer.  To keep things extra tidy, we’re recommending you get the free program called AppDelete.

But be careful that clicking the icon takes you to the version 2.1, and go check their home page for a new version if it’s been a while.

Not much else to be said for this. Install the program and then drag unwanted apps to the appdelete trash can.

Internet media, Boxee

So this is pretty awesome. You can watch TV and junk via this application

I was busy scouring for images and this little video clip while Mike was explaining things, so there’s lake of text. Click the image for the website, or watch the vimeo video below for a brief intro.

It is in private alpha right now, which means that it is very selective with users right now. Although if you’re at the meeting, Mike can probably get you an invite code.

Delicious Library

This is really cool. You can use your iSight to scan the bar code on books, comics, movies, or whatever other media items you have that can be found on Amazon.com and it keeps a database of it for you, but in fancy Apple fashion. It talks to you. It checks things in/out like a real library if you want to use it like that. Chances are, this is useless to you and furthermore, it is $40.
