Temperature Monitor Widget Edition 2.7
Shows values of the accessible sensors on your computer. more>> Shows values of the accessible sensors on your computer.
Temperature Monitor Widget Edition is the Dashboard version of its "bigger brother" Temperature Monitor. It is recommended that you use Temperature Monitor first before using the widget edition to learn more about the sensor equipment of your computer. The applications are designed to give you access to all temperature sensor readings Mac OS X uses to monitor and cool your computer.
The widget allows you to select two of your computers temperature sensors which should be displayed via Dashboard. The sensor readouts are displayed in a compact panel.
Unlike other widgets, Temperature Monitor is capable of processing the hardware calibration data Apple stores individually into each G5-based computer. So it displays the exact readings Mac OS X internally uses for cooling control, not just an "educated guess".
For detailed technical information about sensor discovery please see the developers site.
Enhancements
- Added full support for the new Mac Pro series (March 2009). This includes support for processors using Intel Core i7 technology and simultaneous multi-threading.
BPM Meter 1.0
BPM Meter - find any bpm by taping the Return key to the rythem more>>
BPM Meter is a tool that will help you find any bpm by taping the Return key to the rythem.
Just press the click button (or press the return key on the keyboard) to the beat of anything.
I recommend clicking to the beat at least 10 times to for accuracy, although, if you line the clicks up perfectly you should be able to get a accurate reading after only two clicks.
Once you have gotten a reading you need to press the restart button to reset the BPM meter back to zero for another reading, from then it will start timing after your first click. And then give you your reading after the second click.
