PhotoSweeper
This is another piece of Mac software that I found useful. PhotoSweeper helped me find duplicates in my iDOLM@STER image collection, as well as my anime image collection. I bought it for $10 US but I kinda wish I had waited until recently, because it's on sale now. The sale probably ends in just a few hours, though (which is why I don't have time to make this review very review-like). There's also a completely free piece of Mac software that does the same job, called PixCompare, but PixCompare doesn't work on PNG images.

I beat Atelier Ayesha and here are my thoughts.

SynthCam
SynthCam generates photos using your iOS device's video mode. One of the things you can do with this app is take photos (of stationary objects) with much less noise than when using a single exposure. This is a real boon for iPod touch 4th gen users.
Here's a SynthCam photo:
And here's a photo of the same thing taken with Apple's built-in camera app:
Oh, and it's free.
Scotty:
Impressive. I'll give it a go.

Audioengine 2 speakers
I've had these for two weeks now. They may have been improving with burn-in, but I can't remember what they sounded like immediately out of the box, so I'll just talk about what they sound like now. I have these speakers placed behind my desk and elevated; I don't know what they would sound like if they were on my desk. What I like best about these speakers are the highs. Every S is there, but they're never sibilant; perhaps it's because of the silk dome tweeters. There's also plenty of sparkle. The mids sound fine. The lows don't extend down as deep as they do on my Sony MDR-V6 headphones, but that's to be expected with small to medium sized speakers. I'm using a loudness control as an EQ to increase the bass in imas-like music. One problem is that, on my favorite CD (when I don't use any effects or EQ), a certain string on a harp seems to come out much louder than it's supposed to. To be specific, the note is E3, or about 164.81 Hz. Another problem is that when I tried hooking up my iPod directly to the speakers, they put out loud noise, and I hadn't even started playing music. It's probably because I didn't have the iPod grounded by a charging cable. Hooking up the speakers to my computer or an AirPort Express works fine, though.
