No sure if this is the right place.

Anyone know a decent football results, fixtures etc app for the iPad.

Sky sports is s**t takes an age to update. Says Utd is still 1-1.

Wrong place. You want the iOS thread.

Is there a way to swap between tabs on the trackpad? Find it limiting having to move the mouse and click.
Maybe an app?

 

[Revels]

CMD + Tab.

 

[Skinny]

Ta. No way of doing it on the touchpad though?

Do I need any security software?

BluePhoneElite 2 enables you to make and receive calls from your mac via your iPhone (or other phone). Its unsupported now but can be found easily enough.

That'll be bonjour. It'll also be talking to anything else that uses mDNS for service discovery.

Good shout, I was wondering a couple of weeks back if this could be done! Nice find!

[Tom]

[Danny133]

Mountain Leopard has it built in now so this one won't last long lol

quickmailer is really handy. Puts an email quick send button in the menu bar. Very handy.

Menutab for Facebook is also a useful one if you like FBing at a glance.

I also used to like Alfred, handy tool for launching quick searches etc but I haven't used it for a while.

 

[Millsy]

CCleaner is now in the app store. very useful tool!

 

[TimR26]

Updated to iMovie '11 and iPhoto '11 for free.

RollerCoaster Tycoon has just been released in the Mac store ... downloading now!
