Been having speed issues with Safari, eh? Yep, we know how annoying it is when you wait forever for the pages to load. So to help you out in that department, we're gonna tell you guys about the wonder that is Safari Speed 2.1.

Now a lot of you are probably using Safari Speed 2 already so we probably don't have to delve into that whole thing. But suffice to say, a lot of users have been complaining about some of that OS's features that slow down your computer's speed. To fix that, here's v2.1 which will help you load pages faster and customize your interface easier (to mention a few). Here are some more of the things you can expect in Safari Speed 2.1:

• faster page loading
• allows you to disable favorite icons and cache
• turn on and off Safari's debug menu
• PDF support
• easily switch interface between metal and aqua
• combines the features of previous applications
• support for multiple localizations
  

SafariSpeed 2.1 is actually a free upgrade for licensed users of SafariSpeed 2. And because SafariSpeed 2 is a shareware, you will be allowed to use it 11 times before they require you to register. Registration for SafariSpeed costs US$ 8 and can be paid via Scifience's online store.

Before your brains go into overdrive, Coversutra is a shareware application that deals with album artwork. This means you don't have to tire your eye out reading through gazillions of files. Instead, you'd have the ease of browsing through colorful and artistic album covers.

However, even if this application has been conceptualized long before the iTunes 7.01 with pretty much the same function came out, the Coversutra must incorporate something in its design and build that will make users take a second look.

The application isn't released yet, however, private beta testing is now on its way and hopefully we'll be able to check out this application soon.

Apple Company is making things a bit easier for users of video iPod, MAC and PlayStation Portable (PSP) who want to amp their playlists. It does so by acknowledging a new shareware application from Stinkbot.com.

Internet utility TubeSock grabs online YouTube Videos and damps them into your system. The software is no-hassle as it converts the videos on its own, choosing the best codecs and bitrates for each device. Those who don't have video iPod can also use TubeSock as it allows grab audio only option as well. And since it already uses MP3 format, loss in audio fidelity should not be a problem.

Other features include Preview Playback, Safari and Firefox integration, and Front Row compatible. Below, a trial version is available for download that converts the first 30 seconds only. Registration and payment for the product is $15.

After legal run-ins with the Tetris Company on a supposed infringement of the Tetris trademark, Quinn - an implementation of a popular falling-blocks game that shall not be named, unless we want to get sued - lives to tell the tale.

The popular shareware that held a spot in Phil Ryu's "The Ten Most Beautiful OS 10 Applications," is back and better than ever. It's still the same Quinn we've known but now has a new online server list, includes a standalone server, shows the number of players on a server in the dock icon and it supports multiple moderators in a server.

Changelog:

• fixed a memory bug which could cause Quinn to crash after closing a server
• fixed a bug which caused Quinn to display an error message after subsequently opening and closing a server
• fixed a funny bug which caused the highscore list to display times one hour prior to the time when the game actually ended if the game was played during daylight-savings time
• fixed a bug which caused a playerÂ?s score grow by 4444 or 4445 points after his board had been Â?shaken upÂ? while being completely empty

God Save the Quinn!

Download: [Quinn 1.3.1 for Mac OS X 10.1]
Download: [Quinn 2.3.3 for Mac OS X 10.2 or later]
Download: [Quinn 3.3.4 for Mac OS X 10.4.2 or later]

Seems like Apple just lends itself to these "Top Ten" lists. Today's is called "The Ten Most Beautiful OS 10 Applications," courtesy of Phil Ryu. Although whether this is "beautiful" in the aesthetic sense or just "beautiful" in their ease of use and overall utility, we're not sure. It's all in the eye of the beholder.

Decide for yourself... here, then, without further ado, are today's "Top Ten."

A P2P application, the recommended BitTorrent client. An "exercise in simplicity," according to Phil.

Wcars05 from iPod linux have ported iD?s classic Doom to the iPod. Currently this is playable on the iPod Photo and will ?work? on the 1?4G?s and the Mini 1G/2G. You must also have the shareware Doom I or Doom II .wad files in the folder with Doom. (only one .wad at a time because there is currently no selector.)

To play, mount your iPod and make a folder like ?doom.? Copy over the doom bin file and the .wad file to the same folder. Unmount the iPod from your computer, start up iPodLinux and open the ?File Browser,? then the ?hp? folder and lastly the ?doom? folder (or whatever you named it.) Finally open Doom and shoot away =)
