pointers business / commercial software for mac

uPointer 1.1.3 is a useful tool which allows the user to increase the visibility of the mouse pointer/cursor by overlaying a mark to the area around the cursor.

This mark can either be a circle, ring, cross, line, or crosshair, and has user-definable transparency, size, and color. UltraPointer eliminates the need to bring a laser-pointer along to presentations, and can help users with impaired vision.

Major Features:

1. Stop playing "find the cursor": With uPointer, you'll never find yourself squinting to find your cursor again - with the touch of a key, uPointer will mark your cursor so you'll be back to more important matters in no time. uPointer is perfect for users with eye-sight problems, large displays, or that are simply fed-up with losing-track of their cursor for any reason.
2. Customizable to no end: The mark that uPointer underlays to the cursor is completely customizable. You decide on the color, size, and shape. Choose between a circle, a ring, a cross, a crosshair, or a line. You can even set the opacity of the mark to be able to read what lies beneath it with ease.
3. Other features: You can even make the uPointer mark pulsate and/or spin. Choose pulsation and/or pulsation speeds of either slow, normal, or fast to make uPointer work exactly how you want it to. You can also set a custom hot-key that will toggle uPointer on and off, so it's only there when you want it to be.

Ever tried to walk a friend, family member, or customer through the process of trying to diagnose, troubleshoot, and fix a computer problem over the phone, e-mail or via an online messenger?

Or, perhaps youre the one needing the computer help and are equally if not more frustrated with the situation, as youre the one without a working computer. Whether its the back-and-forth waiting of an e-mail correspondence, the ambiguity of instant messages, or the frustrated tone in your helpers voice over the phone, having your computer fixed remotely is certainly not a pleasant experience.

Various utilities exist that allow one person to remotely connect to anothers computer, but theyre often cumbersome and use insecure, open connections, requiring complicated installations and configurations that are rarely worth the trouble. Even the simplest of these programs will not work through a corporate or home firewall installed with most broadband connections.

Fog Creek Copilot is a simple and inexpensive service that allows friends, relatives, and customers to help each other solve their computer problems by letting one person temporarily connect to the computer of the other over the Internet. Fog Creek Copilot is inexpensive, fast, easy, secure, and works with any firewall or router without having anything to install or any settings to configure.

While connected as a helper, you see the desktop of the person youre helping in its own window. As you move your mouse within this window, the others mouse pointer moves, and as you type, the text appears on both of your screens. A status bar on top of the window tells you how much time is left in the Day Pass.

Troubleshoot and fix your familys, friends, coworkers, or customers computers as if they were your own. Save time and energy by not having to physically be at the problematic computer.

If your computer is the one being fixed by a helper, youll see a dialogue box that tells you about your connection and that has a button allowing you to kick off the helper at anytime. Sit back and watch as the helper navigates your computer, seeing exactly what the problem is and taking the necessary steps to fix it. The control isnt exclusive.

At any time you too can move the mouse to point something out, or to press the disconnect button. You can also use your keyboard to type in a password, or locate a specific file for the helper.

The Fog Creek Copilot connection is routed through our secure servers so it doesnt matter if either person, or both, are behind office or home firewalls. You can connect quickly and easily with no external settings to configure. Fog Creek Copilot just works.
