The Review:
Is your dock overloaded with all your frequently used applications? Then Trampoline is a convenient and great way to solve that problem. Trampoline allows you to add up to 64 of your favorite programs to it's launcher.
Trampoline is a circular launcher which is completely hidden until you press the hotkey to bring it up. Once the hotkey is pressed the Trampoline springs right up under your mouse making you a click away from launching any of your frequently used applications. The great thing about this is that you can remove all the extra clutter from the dock and free up more space on your desktop.
Trampoline is extremely easy to use and setup. Once you install Trampoline you run it for the first time and add your frequently used applications and set the hotkey and then thats all. From that point on all you have to do is press the hotkey you selected and everything you just added is at your fingertips. If you need to add more applications or remove some simply press your hotkey and then launch the Trampoline preferences.
Trampoline has allowed me to free up space on my desktop as I like to keep it as tidy as possible and have as much free space on it as well. Before Trampoline that was hard as my dock had so many applications in it that it spanned across the bottom of my desktop. But now my dock only occupies a small portion of my desktop. Trampoline can be purchased for a reasonable price of $19.95. For more information and to purchase Trampoline please visit the link below.

The Review:
Want to create a website but do not want to be tied to the limited funcionality of iWeb? RapidWeaver is an absolutely outstanding program to use to build your website. RapidWeaver is extremely easy to use and it is also very powerful.
Setting up RapidWeaver is just as simple as installing all OS X programs. Just run RapidWeaver and click the little plus sign in the lower left corner and select the type of page and you are on your way. Once you have the page you want to work on added you can change the theme by clicking the button in the lower right corner next to the publish button. Unlike iWeb if you decide later that you do not like the theme you have selected you may go back and change it to one that better suites you. In iWeb if you wanted to change your theme you would have to completely rebuild your site.
Once you have added all the pages you want and have saved your site you can publish it directly to your host by clicking the publish button and inputting the necessary information. Then in a few moments time your website will be uploaded and ready to be viewed online. If you are not pleased by the themes offered that are preinstalled you may visit the RapidWeaver site and download additional ones. Once downloaded all you have to do is double click on the theme file and it will tell you that it has been installed. You may then select your newly added theme just as you would the others.
RapidWeaver is an absolute must own if you want to create a professional looking website easily. I have completely redesigned my site using RapidWeaver and it took very little effort and looks a whole lot better than the one I had made with iWeb. I can now also add in HTMl when I see fit where I could not before with iWeb. RapidWeaver is priced at a very affordable $49.
