Control Center for Mac is the ultimate utility for Mac OS X users.
Apple is set to unveil OS X 10.10 at WWDC 2014 next month, but it’ll still be a long summer before we can install a public release on our Mac. Will Jony Ive deliver an iOS 7-inspired flat UI ( well, updated iOS 8 UI ) ? Will the UI changes will be minimal, but powerful under the hood? We’ll just have to wait. But, in the meantime you might want to check a new utility that lets you control and monitor various aspects of your Mac – Control Center for Mac.

1Password is now 50% off
Even though Apple confirmed that the Heartbleed vulnerability doesn’t affect iOS, OS X and ‘key web services’, security experts have reminded users to update passwords across any sites that may have been affected, but only after the companies have updated their security software.
It has also been suggested that people start using password management tools like Lastpass, 1Password and Apple’s own Safari Browser password generator in order to keep track of multiple passwords across various accounts, rather than using one single password phrase for every account.
Having said that, the guys at AgileBits slashed down the price on 1Password for iOS and OS X. You can now get 1Password for iOS for $8.99 ( normally $18 – iTunes link ) and 1Password for OS X for $24.99 ( normally $50 – Mac App Store link )

As shown in the screenshot above, users can find their cards through the Google Chrome Notifications windows which can be accessed by clicking on the bell icon found in the OS X menubar. Some cards that can be found on Google Search app for iOS are not currently supported by the desktop browser and will not be shown to the user but cards for sports, weather, directions and reminders will be displayed just like on iOS.
