This is one of the coolest Mac apps around and I’m using it right now. I’ve used the dock which is native to the mac, and I remem­ber using Rocket Doc way back when I used a Win­dows PC. But SAPIENS is def­i­nitely the next evo­lu­tion­ary step in appli­ca­tions launchers.

Sapi­ens is an appli­ca­tion launcher, it helps you access all the appli­ca­tions in your Mac. Sapi­ens is clever because it learns from you, so unlike any other launcher it pre­dicts the appli­ca­tions you will likely need and offers a visu­al­iza­tion of this pre­dic­tion in an intu­itive way.
Sapi­ens is acti­vated by mov­ing the mouse in a cir­cle (yes, it is a mouse ges­ture that finally works), there­fore touch­ing the key­board is really the last resort to be used in case you want to search for a spe­cific application.

The begin­ning of every year is a dif­fi­cult time for so many of us mainly because we are bat­tling lethargy and lazi­ness. The long break kept us in a mood for party, reunions and eat­ing and it’s so much more dif­fi­cult to wake up from it and start our engines again.

2009 was a roller coaster year for me. There were dif­fi­cult moments. But there were also great moments as well.

The Hawthorne Effect is a form of reac­tiv­ity whereby sub­jects improve an aspect of their behav­ior being exper­i­men­tally mea­sured sim­ply in response to the fact that they are being studied.

The stereo­type of rich and suc­cess­ful peo­ple is that they were all born with sil­ver spoons in their mouths. We have already learned from the most pop­u­lar post here in Ang Pere­grino, that that couldn’t be far­ther from the truth.
