G-Force is an audio visualization plug-in for media players and can also visualize auxiliary or "line-in" audio. G-Force features fast anti-aliased effects, millions of possible effect combinations, savable and scriptable effects, video file export capabilities, and unparalleled expandability. G-Force is designed to entertain you on its own, but there are manys it can be customized and extended.

G-Force is unquestionably the most dynamic and sophisticated, yet entirely artistic, music visualization available - and it keeps getting better. This is a direct result of creator Andy O'Meara's strong roots in mathematics and computing theory combined with a passion for music and visual art. If you've seen G-Force in action, you know this isn't an exaggeration... see the screenshots for yourself. Andy's unique abilities and experiences will continue to change the face of music visualization, but it will take many months of hard work and concentration: ultra-dynamic, yet highly artistic, music visualization is uncharted waters.

WhiteCap was the first generation, G-Force is the second generation, and the new project, code-named Project X, will be the third generation of this rising class of software. As much as possible, Andy will focus his time on Project X, retrofitting WhiteCap and G-Force as is appropriate. For example, the third generation engine under development will decrease a G-Force and WhiteCap config CPU load by 100 to 10,000 times, allowing incredibly more intricate configs than previously possible. As one user said, WhiteCap will look "less like a 'wireframe' and more like a 'square of fabric'."

Digital connectivity and computing hardware are opening new doors for digital artists, but these doors can't be opened without user support. A free version of G-Forcewill always be available, but users can also upgrade to an enhanced version, G-Force "Gold". Upgrading to G-Force Gold provides more visual effects and enhanced visual functionality.

Requirements: G4 or better, Mac OS X 10.4 or later, Apple iTunes.

CopyPaste is the original multiple clip utility for the Mac. CopyPaste Pro is the latest version and is a complete rewrite and update. CopyPaste has been massively popular since its first release. What has made it so widely appreciated? Usefulness. CopyPaste magnifies and multiplies the usefulness of the humble clipboard.

One of the revolutionary features that came with the Mac in 1984 was the unique ability to select text or pictures, etc, then copy that data into a clipboard, to hold that content temporarily and then paste it in the same application or a different one. The clipboard was used to transfer all kinds of info between programs on the Mac, and later this feature was imitated in many other operating systems.

A few years later CopyPaste was the first application to add multiple clipboards. This meant that more data could be moved in less time. CopyPaste also allowed these multiple clipboards to be displayed, edited, archived and saved through restarts. CopyPaste revealed the untapped potential of the Mac clipboard.

The latest incarnation of CopyPaste has those same underlying abilities, but with this latest version unveiled in 2008 (CopyPaste Pro) a new instantly available window (like the Apple application switcher) that lets you navigate through the Clip History and Clip Archive with a speed and ease that is again as revolutionary as the first version of CopyPaste. An editor called Bean is now part of the CopyPaste Pro ecology. Bean allows you to edit clipboards.

CopyPaste Pro is profoundly simple to use and yet extremely powerful.

CopyPaste Pro Features:

• Multiple (unlimited depending on memory) clipboards available by hotkey, menu, contextual menu and clip browser.
• Save all clipboards thru restarts. Never lose an edit again. This alone is a savior.
• Clip History maintains a stack of cuts or copies and even drags.
• Clip Editor (Bean) allows immediate editing of any clip and also is an excellent word processor.
• Clip Archives to keep available info you use repeatedly
• The Clip Browser allow viewing the contents of any clipboard.
• Drag images from Safari directly into the clip history
• Clip Tools to act on clipboard data in dozens of useful ways that save time like: - Email extractor which grabs email addresses from large amounts of text - Url extractor grabs url's from large chunks of text and many others
• Drag and drop any clip in the clip browser and to/from applications
• Contextual menus to give easy access to the clipboards from anywhere
• With the clip editor open text, PDF, RTF, HTML, Apple Archive and many other file types
• Easy ways to organize and make available all the clipboard data for reuse.
• Many more features built in and more coming....
