Permanent Eraser - 2.3.1



When you normally delete your files in Mac OS X, the operating system is only forgetting where those particular files are placed, while the data still physically remains on the drive. Beginning with Mac OS 10.3, Apple enhanced its security by introducing the Secure Empty Trash feature, which follows the U.S. DoD pattern of overwriting data seven times.

Permanent Eraser provides an even stronger level of security by implementing the Gutmann Method. This utility overwrites your data thirty-five times, scrambles the original file name, and truncates the file size to nothing before Permanent Eraser finally unlinks it from the system. Once your data has been erased, it can no longer be read through traditional means.

Permanent Eraser is free of charge, and the source code is also provided for educational purposes.

* Implements the Gutmann Method via srm to remove files
* Erases the files in your Trash
* Erases CD-RWs and DVD-RWs
* Erases files dropped on the application icon
* Provides a warning dialog before files are erased (Press the Option key to bypass this warning).
* Universal Binary
* Localized for English, German, French, Dutch, and Traditional Chinese
* Source code is available
* It's free!

GUidMachine - 4.0.6

Unbearable Devices brings you the first of a series of audio tools to create a new breed of music: Multitemporal Music. Gone is the unique, boring BPM of old, we bring you the joy of using more than one BPM at the same time. Asynchronous streams of sound flowing in the same instance. Check www.unbearablerecordings.co.uk for some examples. The Guidmachine is Step Sequencer combined with a sample player. The Step sequencer has 4 X 16 steps while the sample player can load 4 samples simultanuously. Nothing new so far, but what makes the GUIdMachine special are a few unique features. First of all you can easily shift any of the sequences up and down by any number of steps and you can decide the length of each raw. But even this is not news. What’s special about it is that you can randomize this modifications and so the pattern will never be constant if you want. The velocities can be randomized too so the accents will also change during time and make the loops more interesting. But the most unique feature is that the 4 sequences can play at 4 different BPMs! The Sample Player section is a fairly straight forward 4 voices sample player with a good envelope section and the possiblitly to change the pitch , the length, the start point all on the fly. It also features a 4 tap delay section, a master Vst insert and the possiblity to record audio files of what you are doing.

GimmeSomeTune - 3.6



GimmeSomeTune is an application that extends iTunes' functionality. With GimmeSomeTune, you can download lyrics and album covers without the user having to do anything - so that he can do things the computer can't do for him. Furthermore, it shows you iTunes' currently playing song in a beautiful floating window, which you can hide with the push of a button, and it can as easily be brought back to the foreground. GimmeSomeTune offers the user a lyrics-window, which shows you the lyrics of the currently playing song. In this window, you can also edit the lyrics on the fly, and, if GimmeSomeTune can't find any lyrics, look for them on Google. Of course, GimmeSomeTune features a vast number of hotkeys to control iTunes (and parts of GimmeSomeTune itself) out of any application. Alternatively, or as a complement, there is a mini-controller that lets you control iTunes with the mouse. To please every individual user, GimmeSomeTune has functionality to change it's appearance. The user can, amongst other things, modify the infowindow and the status menu. Even the information GimmeSomeTune shows you is changeable. Other features of GimmeSomeTune are support for iChat, a "Recently Played" menu and a daemon, which starts and quits GimmeSomeTune whenever iTunes starts or quits.
