BumpTop Mac Makes Your Desktop a 3D Entity [Downloads]
In: Coding
21 Jan 2010
Mac OS X: Like its Windows 7 counterpart, the BumpTop desktop replacement arrives on OS X with all kinds of ways of manipulating and organizing files, folders, images, and applications. It also integrates with the Mac’s own window-handling tools.
BumpTop’s Pro version, $29, gives MacBook users access to a range of multi-touch features, similar to what Windows 7 users can do on a multitouch screen. But the free version still delivers a different experience for your desktop. Folders, pictures, drive icons, and anything, really, can be pinned to your three walls, the desk surface, and piles of documents re-arranged with a tap of the mouse (or finger). When you get mad at the Parkerson Project, pick it up and fling it across your desk at the wall—just like in real life!
Here’s a video take on BumpTop’s Mac version:
BumpTop Mac is a free download for the basic version, while the Pro version, which also features as-you-type desktop search, is $29. If you try it out on your own OS X system, tell us how it fits into your workflow, or doesn’t, in the comments.

Did you boot the computer up with the disc in the cdrom drive. You can't install it from within the operating system. Are you installing it on a MAC or trying to put it on a PC. Check the disc to make sure it has no smudges on it from your fingers. It needs to be clean or it creates a defective install.

I personally use Coda, by panic for my web programming. I also highly recommend it over Dreamweaver.

I would go with the 2nd but you're still limited to a 1/4" drive ratchet. Personally I would go with a Craftsman combination socket set that has 1/4" and 3/8" drive ratchets. Metric will be more useful. and a set of pliers and screwdrivers. Dont go cheap. Get sears or something with a lifetime warranty. The only thing more frustrating than breaking a ratchet on the first turn is having to buy another one.

I love that! You could do a black, but if that is too dark for you, you could go with a lighter purple. If you choose purple, make sure it doesn't have a blueish gray under tone, because then your room could look dreary. If you added fuchsia sheets, you could do that for the walls too. You could do them the color of whatever color sheets you are choosing really. Hope this helps.
