Review: The new MacBook Air, now with extra SSD goodness
If the first MacBook Air was a revolutionary take on the Apple laptop line, the new version is an evolutionary advance that offers a noticeable speed boost and better storage options. And the top-end model is a lot cheaper than it was when it debuted in January.
Final Draft AV 2.5
For years, documentary-style film and video makers have struggled to use jury-rigged tables within word processing programs to create the unique two-column scripts needed for planning documentaries, commercials, and corporate videos. Final Draft AV 2.5.2 aims to put a smile on those creative faces by taking over such time-consuming formatting duties so that filmmakers can focus their time where it matters--on content.

Whew! If you've been paying attention to the Mac Gems Weblog for the past six weeks, you know that it's been home to GemFest 2009, a Gem-a-day marathon of over 50 Gem reviews. We ended GemFest 2009 on Tuesday with a quick rundown of some of our all-time-favorite Gems, and today marks our return to the regular two-Gems-each-week schedule. I'll get back to reviewing great, inexpensive Mac software next week, but today I'm going to tell you about an accessory Gem that I've been wanting to cover since I saw a prototype at Macworld Expo back in January.
Final Draft 8
Hollywood may love remakes, but ticket buyers beware: it's often tough to tell whether you're about to see a modern reinvention of a tried-and true tale, or a timeless classic ruined. Thankfully, Final Draft 8 is a solid sequel to what has become the industry-standard screenwriting application, offering an updated interface, a handful of feature enhancements, and a new file format.

ShoveBox 1.7
Organization is not my strong suit. I'm not the kind of guy who does well with the kind of clear-your-desk, clear-your-mind way of thinking that seems to be the zeitgeist of the day. For me, it's too much work and takes too much thought. But I do need some method for gathering and organizing the mass of information that comes my way. ShoveBox 1.7.3 provides a simple, intuitive way to do that.

The lost NASA tapes: Restoring lunar images after 40 years in the vault
The goal is to have all the image files processed by February, producing a moon atlas with a resolution higher than anything previously seen.
Caboodle 1.3
Since I installed Leopard, the Dock's Downloads folder has become my computer's lost-and-found department, collecting all my stray Web links, orphaned photos, and errant PDF files. Dejal Software's Caboodle seemed ready to offer all those random files a neat and orderly home. Unfortunately, Caboodle's odd, sometimes frustrating ways didn't live up to its terrific concept.
