Kinemac 1.8.0 is designed to be a beneficial and essential 3D Real Time Animation & Presentation Software for Mac OS X.
Major Features:
- It allows you to create your own professional 3D Animations with the simplicity of a 2D presentation tool. Just drag your images, texts, movies, songs, SVG and 3D OBJ files onto the Kinemac stage to get them into your animation.
- Kinemac also allows you to apply images and movies onto the ready-to-use objects like cubes, cylinders, spheres, tubes, pies, rectangles, disks... which you can easily animate by setting key frames.
- Also, it lets you quickly create 3D Text and 2D scrolling text (RTF and RTFD) with any kind of font, color, size, shadows, embedded images... A powerful animation control system based on Bezier curves allows you to carefully control any aspect of the movement such as translations, rotations, resizing, fading, speed, acceleration and deceleration of any object on the stage. The result is a professional and smooth animation which you can play in Real-Time/Full-Screen or export to a QuickTime movie file.
- Kinemac uses the latest technologies like the OpenGL engine, QuickTime and the Cocoa frameworks, making it the ideal application to create Advertising for TV, trailers for movies, video-clips, instant scrolling messaging to put "on air" in real time, video content for CD, DVD, web sites... Also it has been said "awesome" to illustrate concepts through 3D animations at conferences, schools and universities.
- Kinemac is for Mac OS X only.
Enhancements:
- Saving/Opening animations containing 3DS models is now x10 faster.
- Saving animations containing OBJ models creates a kmc file 3 times smaller.
- Optimization of the RAM memory usage at loading texture images (more memory available).
- Enabled multi-threaded execution of the OpenGL framework (fast rendering).
- Added the anisotropy correction (anti-flickering) when exporting to a QT movie or to a picture.
- When choosing the menu "Stage Window Only".

InerziaLightning 1.1 is said to be a helpful utility that measures the time interval between a lightning bolt and its thunder; knowing the speed of sound, the distance from the thuderstorm is calculated. One have to click the start button as soon as a lightning is seen and click again the same button to let the widget know that the thunder is just heard.
Major Features:
- The calculation accounts for the temperature dependence of the sound speed: you can insert it on the back of the widget, as Celsius or Farenheit degrees or Kelvin scale; by changing the unit, the temperature already inserted is translated to the new unit.
- It is possible to show the distance in the International System units or with US units: also in this case, a change in the unit makes the present value to be converted.
- The display color tell you if it's time to turn off and disconnect your router to keep it safe from overloading. A button let you navigate to an online help on the web.
Enhancements:
- Added the 'foot' unit.
- Some code optimization.

BSNES 0.4.7
Super Nintendo Entertainment System emulator. more>> Super Nintendo Entertainment System emulator.
BSNES has a somewhat different purpose to most emulators; it focuses on accuracy over performance.
To that end, it does not include any game specific hacks, or idle-loop skipping optimizations commonly found in other emulators. To add to the fun, it uses a cycle accurate hardware emulation.
The net result of all this is the highest system requirements of any emulator available for Mac; those without a G5 class machine need not apply. If your Mac meets the requirements, however, this is the most accurate SNES emulation available on the Macintosh platform.
Main features:
- Support for the S-RTC and S-DD1 custom chips.
- Full sound emulation.
System requirements:
- BSNES requires a minimum of a PowerMac G5 to run. The current release is unlikely to run at full frame rate on anything less than 2.3GHz.
Enhancements
- In sync with the latest version for PC (again!). The major change in this release is support for the SuperFX chip (Yoshis Island, Starfox, etc).
- Began using profile directed optimization in Xcode, which gives roughly a 10% speed up.

BMRM 2.1
Open source and scalable convex solver for many machine learning problems more>> Open source and scalable convex solver for many machine learning problems
BMRM is a modular, open source, and scalable convex solver for many machine learning problems cast in the form of regularized risk minimization problem.
BMRM is "modular" because the (problem-specific) loss function module is decoupled from the (regularization-specific) optimization module (e.g. quadratic programming or linear programming solvers), thus shorten the time to implement/prototype solutions to new problems.
Besides, the decoupling leads to easier parallelization of the loss function computation.
Main features:
- Binary classification: Hinge, Squared hinge, Huber-hinge, Logistic regression, Exponential, ROC Score, Fbeta Score
- Univariate regression: $epsilon$-insensitive, Huber robust, Least Mean Squares, Least Absolute Deviation
