Become a Multitasking Mastermind!

From a very technical standpoint, two screens should mean double the productivity, right? Either which way, with the Mountie, you can convert two gadgets into one, by allowing your tablet or phone to become a secondary screen for your laptop!

The humble Mountie is a small contraption that fits securely to the side of your laptop screen. With two clips facing in opposite direction, while one clip holds the Mountie in place on your laptop, the other clip allows you to fit in a tablet or a phone, effectively making your workspace larger and putting a secondary screen in your periphery. This secondary screen can either be an extension of your laptop screen (Apple users could use the AirPlay feature), or better still, the side screen could be running a conference call or hold up some Excel sheet or PDF, or you could just use it to watch yourself some YouTube while working (you didn’t get that advice from us!). It allows you to double your productivity only because with the secondary screen mounted right beside your primary screen, you don’t really have to look away. Everything sits right within your peripheral vision. Besides, the Mountie even tilts your secondary screen at a slight angle so that it faces you.

Absolutely ideal for the developer who wants to code and test apps at the same time, or for the office goer who wants to work and facetime/conference together, or just the serial multitasker, the Mountie lets you easily expand your screen estate just by simply clipping your tablet or phone conveniently near your screen. Want to push things a step further? Use two Mounties on either side and go full-on panoramic!

Get the Mighty Mac App Bundle for Free on Walyou Deals

Mighty Mac App Bundle Walyou Deals 00

Since the best things in life are free, Walyou Deals offers you a free ride to Mac excellence with 10 apps that can boost productivity and help you and your computer perform better.

To make things clear, the Mac app bundle provided by Walyou Deals doesn’t imply any sweepstakes, so you are free to use any of these pieces of software right away, without any restrictions. On top of that, the software included in this bundle usually costs money (it actually totals at $131), so the chance of getting it for free really shouldn’t be missed.

Ondesoft’s iTunes Converter for Mac, the first piece of software included in the bundle has a retail value of $39.95, and can unlock DRM-protected files, extract audio from iTunes video files, convert between various formats, ensure that the ID tags of converted files haven’t been altered, and convert DRM media files. All of this is done using an intuitive UI, so you don’t waste time, but quite the contrary.

Digiarty Software’s WinX DVD Ripper for Mac, a piece of software that typically retails for $35.95, can create DVD backups to your hard drive, as its name suggests.

Synergy Seamless’ Synergy App removes the barriers between Macs, Ubuntu machines and Windows PCs, and can even let you work seamlessly between all three of them, using a single keyboard and mouse that are shared.

AirRadar by Koingo Software, a $9.95 software that’s included in the free Mac bundle, helps you find open Wi-Fi networks whenever you are traveling. All that data regarding open networks (such as their location and name) is stored by the app for future reference.

Window Tidy by Light Pillar can organize your desktop windows so that you can navigate seamlessly between them. There are plenty behavior and appearance aspects that can be changed, so the app definitely is a versatile one.

Since digital documents are all the rave nowadays (people only use paper only if they have no other option, really) Ten One Design’s Autograph Signature App can help you create gorgeous signatures for these documents without breaking a sweat. Give your emails a personal touch with this software, and impress your recipients beyond words.

Next on the list is ZipZapMac’s Memory Cleaner App which can definitely give your Mac a boost when it starts to feel sluggish.

SweetP Productions’ Invisible app can protect your sensitive data by hiding files, password protecting them, and basically adding a new layer of protection against online threats.

Yummy Software’s Yummy FTP Alias makes uploading files straight from the desktop a breeze, as it enables retrying and resuming, in case the transfer fails on the first try.

Privatus, another piece of software made by SweetP Productions, cleans up your browser’s cookies as soon as you’re done surfing the Web. That can protect your sensitive data, on one hand, and put a line of defense between you and online threats.

To get the mighty Mac app bundle for free, head to Walyou Deals, create an account, if you don’t already have one, log into it and share the page on Facebook, Twitter or Google+. That’s all you need to do in order to get $131 worth of Mac software for free!

Ten One ships $80 Pogo Connect, a pressure-sensitive Bluetooth 4.0 stylus for iPad

DNP Ten One introduces Pogo Connect, a pressuresensitive Bluetooth 40 stylus for new iPad

While there are many third-party capacitive pens for the iPad on the market, none are as precise as pressure-sensitive models like the ones Samsung Galaxy Note aficionados have enjoyed for some time. Enter the Pogo Connect, which is described as the world's first pressure-sensitive Bluetooth 4.0 iPad stylus. Brought to you by Ten One Design, the Pogo Connect was originally codenamed "Project Blue Tiger" back in March. The benefits of Bluetooth seem to be key here, as it offers full pressure sensitivity thanks to a "Crescendo Sensor" technology that works at multiple angles and without calibration. You also get palm rejection capabilities so the page doesn't get smudged from your hand resting on the surface. The pen has a removable magnetic tip, leaving room for interchangeable tips in the future.

There's also an LED status light, an integrated radio transmitter to let you know its location in case you lose it, and it runs on a single AAA battery. Be aware that the Connect is only compatible with around 16 apps for now -- they include Brushes, SketchBook Pro, Paper by FiftyThree, and PDFPen -- but Ten One hopes to add to the list over time. You can pre-order one now for $79.95, and if you're one of the first 2,000 to do so, you'll get a special edition pen with a laser-engraved tiger. Those intrigued can get a peek at the company's promo video as well as the PR after the break.
