Substitution for Inquisitor
Screenshot Peers
After changing from the apple made safari to firefox, mainly to be able to use all functions of ebay properly, I was actually quite sad to loose the preview of Inquisitor. Finally, the firefox add-on Peers replaces this function within the search function of firefox. It gives an overview on Google or Yahoo search results, but also often visited websites likes wikipedia or dictionaries.
This was the more or less last reason to stick to safari 
iTranslate (for you)
Wer kennt es nicht: Man schreibt einen Text, liest ein Paper und da steht dieses englische oder französische Wort, welches man zwar irgendwie kennt, aber…. was bedeutet es nun genau? Browser starten, Wörterbuch aufrufen…. es dauert wieder einmal ein paar Minuten bis man der Sache auf die Schliche gekommen ist und beim nächsten Wort lässt man es bleiben.
Es gibt sicher ein paar Programme, mit denen man schnell und einfach online Wörterbücher bedienen kann. iTranslate (for you) ist eine Freeware, welche gleichzeitig Englisch und Französisch spricht. Der einzige Wehmutstropfen: Man braucht eine Internetverbindung. Wenn man die nicht hat, gibt es für den englischen Teil immer noch das dict.cc Plugin für Dictionary.app von Lipflip.
MacTeX: LaTeX for MacOS
You have to write scientific essays or articles, maybe even with mathematic formulas? You need a program to build proper pdf-documents? You are sick of MSWord formatting errors and misbehavior? LaTeX will be your new friend, if you have some five seconds to make yourself comfortable with a new way of writing texts into a document.
In the past, it was a bit complicated to install LaTeX in a Mac. Especially if you belong to the »click-and-marvel-fraction« who is not familiar with the terminal and unix commands. MacTeX fills this blank and provides a full package of everything you need to make your LaTeX run on MacOS without any trouble.
You can get it for free e.g. via the website of Cologne University.
Inquisitor
Inquisitor is called »the spotlight for the web« and this simply is it. The great Safari extension helps to search the web with different machines and gives a small preview of the first search results. One of the best features: You can localize your google site independent from your system language in use!
