The Single Greatest App in the App Store

Do you have a problem in your life that, for whatever reason, you just can’t solve? Problems in your love life, or work issues?

Well, we all face tough problems at some point in our lives. Thankfully, The Hoff is here to help.

Introducing the greatest app ever invented: Ask The Hoff.

Quoting from the press release “I know there are moments when everyone faces major decisions in life and need advice from an expert,”said Hasselhoff, “so as the proud owner of not one but two iPhones (I like to be able to make two phone calls at once!), I’m very pleased to announce the launch of my very own iPhone app.”

This, my friends, is the reason to own an iPhone. I know my life will be richer just knowing The Hoff is available to me for all of those important decisions in my life.

What a great time to be alive!

Short Review of Nisus Writer Pro

Mark (my co-worker and well known chocolate lover) just spotted a nice, short review of Nisus Writer Pro by Tom Nelson of About.com.

“One of my favorite features is the style sheet editor. Nisus Writer Pro includes enough style sheets to satisfy most individuals, but the way it lets you easily and visually customize a style sheet sets it apart from many other word processors.”

Nisus Writer Pro 1.4

Hot on the heels of Pro 1.3.1 comes Nisus Writer Pro 1.4.

This version introduces several built-in menus that replace the macros that ship with Bookends. This means that you can scan your documents, find references, insert citations, and switch to Bookends by using the new menu items (Insert > Bibliography). To see all of the changes, go to our Pro release notes page.

You will need to use the latest version of Bookends (10.6.1) and Nisus Writer Pro 1.4 to take advantage of these new features.

You can download this new version from our Nisus Writer Pro download page, or just launch your current version of Nisus Writer Pro and use the menu Nisus Writer Pro > Check for Updates.

Nisus Writer Pro is a Universal Binary and requires Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or above.

For those Nisus Writer Pro users who are interested in purchasing Bookends, there is a 20 percent discount available.

If you are a Bookends user who is interested in purchasing Nisus Writer Pro, we also offer a 20 percent discount.

Nisus Thesaurus 1.0.7

Nisus Thesaurus 1.0.6 brought back Services functionality for users on Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite work for everyone. So, if you are one of those that doesn’t have Services functionality, Nisus Thesaurus 1.0.7 is for you. This release should work anywhere it is supposed to.

You can download Nisus Thesaurus 1.0.7 from the Nisus Thesaurus page.
