Yep is a PDF organizer that mimics the iPhoto interface.  I ran into something like this, on the recommendation of a professor, for the PC but had started moving to the Mac.  I had considered looking up the PC version and running it through Parallels, but have hesitated to do so.  This great, because I can finally start to organize some information I have worked on previously to do the same thing.  I still may end up using something like DevonThink to get all of my docs sorted out.  But will give this a try before moving onto something that requires $s.

One of the things I loved on my Windows machine was Norton Internet Security’s ability to hold up a connection until I said okay.  My wife often heckled me on the fact that I allowed almost everything to pass through, but I learned a lot about which programs like to make silent communications to their home servers.   NIce to see something like this for the Mac OS.  Though I haven’t been as paranoid about Apple as I was about Microsoft, I’ve read some interesting bits about how much into Apple is pulling from their clients and want to get the same insight about OS X.

I’m loving Leopard so far.  Worked out most of the kinks and have it running as smoothly as possible until HamachiX is updated to Leopard support.  Time Machine is the last of the major upgrades I don’t have running, but I’m working on it soon.  Maybe this week.  Little apps like this can be invaluable.  Won’t know until I work with Time Machine as to how often I’ll want the updates, but at least this gives you some great options.
