Extract icon resource with ease
With a few clicks you can upload the image resource of every application on your hard-drive directly into iCondubber. And then extract any PNG, ICNS, or TIFF resource your heart desires.
Even more impressive… by simply dragging an iContainer file onto the iCondubber app you can extract all the resource files held within the iContainer back into their original raw formats.
iCondubber is truly a diamond in the rough and the perfect companion app for any icon library application.

App Store says: No Credit Card? No Service!
- name: App Store
- type: APP
- price: $0.00
- platform:
- website: Apple
- download: $0.00

January 6th 2011, Apple launches an App Store application for OS X Snow Leopard as promised.
To what end though? Is the App Store easier to navigate and simpler to use than iUseThis, MacUpdate, or Cnet?
So far everything points to NO.
The Internet is littered with hundreds of other reasons why the App Store app is junk, like this clever article on LifeHacker. So we here at Appcitement wanted to hit on a different problem we found. One that has been seriously over looked by Apple and very under publicized by other news websites: No FREE app downloads through the App Store app without a credit card for people with preexisting Apple Store or Apple iTunes accounts.
This fact was verified for Appcitement today by KarenLynn, an iTunes Senior Support Team Leader at Apple. She informed us that the option to choose “None” for a credit card is not available, even when downloading free apps, until after a credit card number is entered into an iTunes account’s initial information setup section. From what we’ve been told here at Appcitement by forgien developers this is pretty depressing news since many people overseas don’t use the American credit card system. Only after a user gives Apple a legitimate credit card number and billing address can a user then set their credit card type to “None,” from the edit information section of their iTunes account. Opps! It’s our opinion here at Appcitement that someone at Apple programming made a pretty major boo boo.
For the time being stick with Bodega.

Nambu, Twitter on your desktop.
Twitter has become a world wide phenomenon. Members of the U.S. Congress tweet. Kings and Queens of countries that still have monarchies are twittering proclamations to their beloved subjects.
In today’s fast paced world of mirco-blogging if you want to be a true TwitterTwatter you’ve got to tweet 24/7.
Nambu makes that task a snap with just the twist of an app. It has: Growl support, dock badges to display unread message counts, direct messaging capacities, an awesome TwitPic viewer, drag and drop photo attaching capabilities, menulet support, multiple list views, and a host of other features you want in a powerful Twitter application.
All its greatness aside Nambu is still in beta and it does have a few downsides; including a not so great built-in NambuHelper app, but hey even iTunes has one of those.
For a free app you really can’t go wrong with Nambu on your dock. Try it out!

The answer is WhatSize.
WHAT is slowing down your Mac? WHAT is causing your Applications folder to take 15 minutes to populate? WHAT is taking up your entire harddisk? It’s a question of SIZE. The answer is WhatSize.
WhatSize is a powerful app that uses simple visual queues to display pertinent information about the amount of space each folder and/or file is taking up on your harddisk.

When good icons turn 10 and go bad.
- name: iTunes
- type: APP
- price: $0.00

- website: Apple

iTunes version 10 dropped on us today. First let me say “YAY!”
Second there are plenty of cool new iTunes 10 goodies to go into. However, there are plenty of news blogs writing about all the technical nuances of iTunes 10, so lets skip that. Let us instead discuss the one glaring issue I had with iTunes since the moment it hit my dock: its icon!
What is the deal with the new iTunes 10 icon? No offense to the Windows users out there, but this thing looks like a Microsoft intern’s concept doodle. The OS X dock is a 3-D space. It’s even referred to as such in Apple’s own code. So why on earth would they create such a flat, ugly, unimaginative, un-innovative icon. I really though the whole purpose of the ” i ” in front of all their products was to denote how innovative they are.
Apple, this newest iMage choice of iTunes branding is yet another FAIL, in a long line of recent steps backward for your company. Please iMprove your iTunes iCon as soon as possible. Thank you, your iRritated and iNdignant fan Rob.

Dropbox makes file sharing, well, easy...
After you install the Dropbox app it adds a folder to your computer called “Dropbox.” Anything you place in this folder is stored on your local harddrive and, after you create a FREE account at Dropbox.com, it also stores a copy on their secure web server. Giving you access to your files anywhere you have an Internet connection.
If all Dropbox did was give you anywhere access to your files it would be a great app. But it does so much more, making it a truly fantastic app.
Team Dropbox gives you 2 Gigabytes of web storage space… right out of the box [pun intended]. Of course they let you buy more space too, that’s how they make their money. Even cooler though, Team Dropbox will give you a quarter GB of space each time you complete a task, totally free. Basically, the tasks help promote the Dropbox website. Nothing shady though. Just a few simple tasks like: telling a friend about Dropbox on Twitter, getting a friend to sign up for a Dropbox account, installing the Dropbox app on multiple computers, etc…
The tasks are all things you’ll be glad you did anyway.
