Arranging your apps shouldn’t take all day, at least not if Jeff Stieler has anything to say about it.

Jeff recently released a great new app called Movement.

It’s primary function is to greatly simplify the process of organizing and rearranging your mobile applications. It does this by using a unique OS X app that simulates your iPhone/iPod Touch layout. Once your iPhone/iPod Touch is synced with your Mac the application takes in all the apps you have and allows you to rearrange the simply by dragging and dropping.

You can download the app here. movementapp.com
Requires OS X 10.5 and a Jailbroken iPhone/iPod Touch.

The day is upon us and Snow Leopard has made it’s debut. You may notice however, that it’s not all that different.  Well it is, but its hard to notice at first. To help you get the most out of the great new features that Snow Leopard offers.

• The Finder has been completely rewritten in Cocoa to take advantage of all the modern technologies in Mac OS X, including 64-bit support and Grand Central Dispatch.
• Grand Central Dispatch takes full advantage by making all of Mac OS X multicore aware and optimizing it for allocating tasks across multiple cores and processors.
• Exposé is refined and more convenient. It’s now integrated in the Dock, so you can just click and hold an application icon in the Dock and all the windows for that application will unshuffle so you can quickly change to another one.
• Snow Leopard takes up less than half the disk space of the previous version, freeing about 7GB for you — enough for about 1,750 more songs3 or a few thousand more photos.
• OpenCL in Snow Leopard is a technology that makes it possible for developers to tap the vast gigaflops of computing power currently in the graphics processor and use it for any application.

Macrumors recently received what appears to be legitimate pictures of the retail packaging for OS X Snow Leopard. (click on the pic to see the rest of the pics and read the full story at Macrumors.com)

For guitar players, live performers, and all musicians who record, edit, and mix their own music, the new Logic Studio is a huge leap forward. Advanced production tools take the work out of editing timing and tempo. An expansive collection of vintage and modern amps, cabinets, and stompboxes make you sound like you’re playing through legendary gear. And new live performance plug-ins let you record loops and trigger backing tracks when you’re on stage.

New features:

• Amp Designer – Build your dream rig by mixing and matching 25 amps, 25 speaker cabinets, and 3 mics
• Flex Tool - Push audio around with your mouse by clicking and dragging anywhere on the waveform — forget all that tedious splicing and editing
• Move your music – Logic Studio can import your GarageBand files so you can pick up where you left off, this time with more power and freedom.
• Pedal Board – Fire up 30 stompboxes that deliver lush effects like Overdrive, Distortion, Fuzz, Delay, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Tremolo, Treble Boost, and Wah.

System Requirements:

• Mac computer with an Intel processor
• 1GB of RAM (2GB or more highly recommended)
• Mac OS X v10.5.7 or later
• 9GBs of free disc space / 38GBs free disc space for all loops, samples, etc.

Probably. Not only will the native 64-bit coding speed up day to day use, but we also have two other great improvements coming in Snow Leopard that will be sure to speed up your Mac. The implementation of Grand Central Dispatch and OpenCL will help to utilize every ounce of power that your Mac has. If 10.6 were to include only one of these great advancements, we probably wouldn’t notice a difference, but with all three working together you can be sure that OS X 10.6 will feel faster under your fingers then OS X 10.5.
