Get the latest on Michael Jackson
If the wall-to-wall coverage of Michael Jackson isn’t quite enough for you, there is a free widget you can download that specializes in the latest news about the King of Pop. Sources include the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times. It seems to take a minute or two to get going, but otherwise looks good.

Songbird 1.0
The open source competitor to iTunes has hit the big one-point-oh — and we have to say it’s looking good. Here are some first impressions of Songbird:
1. It has a spiffy look that will make any Mac user feel at home.
2. It has a huge number of add-ons that expand its capabilities — much like Firefox.
3. When you play a song, it displays the album cover and information about the artist.
4. It provides access to Shoutcast with its huge variety of streaming music.
5. It imports your iTunes library.
All in all, Songbird is a worthy alternative to iTunes and well worth a look. And by the way, congratulations to all the volunteers who put so much time and effort into this project. You’ve done a great job and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for Songbird.

The thriftmac guarantee
You'll find nothing here but 100 per cent, totally free software for Mac. There are no demos, no crippleware, no "freemiums." The only exceptions are for programs supported by tasteful ads. In some cases, developers ask for a donation — and we encourage you to make one if you find the program useful. Let us know if you find an app here that is not totally free, and we'll delete it. And if there is a program that deserves to be here — but isn't — we'd like to hear about that, too.
