Excellent deal on Mac Software

I know this isn't about ebooks, but if you use a Macintosh computer there is an opportunity for some great software at an amazing price. MacHeist is offering 12 applications for only $49. Many of the titles are worth more than $49 individually so if you use just one or programs it has paid for itself.

The other cool feature is that they are donating 25 percent of each sale to charity so the benefit has an even broader reach.

Some of the titles available include Snapz Pro X, Pixelmator, CSSEdit, AppZapper, Tiki Magic Mini Golf, 1password, CoverSutra, iStopMotion, Awaken, Speed Download, Wingnuts 2, and Task Paper. More applications may become available if the sales go well.
