Google Earth is a very cool app, but the user interface of the Mac port in these screenshots looks like ass. Does Google hire designers?

OmniGraffle 4.1 ★

Minor update to The Omni Group’s popular diagramming app.

MakeBot ★

AIM bot from Make Magazine to notify you about new articles. Sort of gimmicky, but it’s cool because it’s truly “instant”, providing a much snappier user experience than anything delivered over HTTP.

FlickrExport 1.3.1 ★

Bug-fix update to Connected Flow’s Flickr plug-in for iPhoto; “strongly recommended” for all users.
