If you are out and about and looking for a wireless network for your computer, you may want to take advantage of the AirRadar application. The application will list all open and closed networks in range, type of encryption, and channel. Advanced users will also appreciate the fact that the application can also track noise and signal strengths in a graph format. This version is compatible with computers running Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5. [KMG]



Orbit Downloader 2.7.8

http://www.orbitdownloader.com/

With an eye towards enhanced downloading of files from social networking sites, Orbit Downloader is well worth a look. The application uses a fairly basic interface, and it's easy to use, as visitors can just right-click a video or photo and select the "Download" function from their menu to complete the action. Another useful feature is the one-click button that allows users to download multiple files from any given site. This version is compatible with computers running Windows 2000, XP, 2003, and Vista.
