The Snapplr app from Snapplr.com is one incredibly smooth piece of software.

-Briksoftware opens beta testing on Snapplr, the smartest way to take and share screenshots.

Snapplr extends Mac OS X’s native screenshooting facilities by providing a very easy way to instantly share screenshots on the Web via any Instant Messaging client or Mail.

The screenshots are hosted on Snapplr’s embedded webserver. This avoids problems caused, for example, by different instant messaging clients. Hosting on Snapplr’s website also bypasses any firewall or router/NAT problem.

Snapplr, by default, is operated exactly like Mac OS X’s screenshoting facilities, integrating perfectly in the user workflow. Unlike the system facilities, however, Snapplr provides an immediate way to share screenshots or mail them via a floating option panel which can operated both by mouse and by keyboard.

Just to give you an idea of how easy it is. I got that picture up there, onto the internet and into my website in less then 5 seconds. I kid you not. It’s nothing but well thought out, well written code and design. Its intuitive nature makes you wanna use it over and over.  It seems like it will be very useful for places like social networks and twitter where picture swapping and sharing is bigger then ever. The really cool thing about the Snapplr app is that it is incredibly lightweight and does not use system resources unless in use.

Supports OS X 10.4 and 10.5 – UB (PPC/Intel)

Read my latest review of Snapplr 1.0 Here.

The American music industry may be pressuring Dell and other computer manufacturers to disable stereo recording support in an artificial attempt to discourage piracy, say accounts from users. Users of Dell systems with SigmaTel chips in particular claim to be only allowed single-channel recording out of the box and are told that an official solution that restores stereo input will cost $99; Gateway and (in Europe) Packard Bell systems with the audio hardware are also said to be affected.
