I’ve been using Net News Wire for a long time and love it. So go get it and go use it .

Once in a while I find an application that does something unique. Something that I may only have a use for once or twice every month, but without out it; I’d be scratching my head and wondering how I would get a task done.

This week I introduce you to File Juicer 4.9.3. This application is a like a data miner for your Mac. It finds and extracts files with the following types :JPEG, JP2, PNG, GIF, PDF, BMP, WMF, EMF, PICT, TIFF, Flash, Zip, HTML, WAV, AVI, MOV, MP4, MPG, MP3, AIFF, AU, WMV or text from files which contain data in those formats. It then saves those files for you “unchanged” in their original format. This is handy for those YouTube videos, pictures you were browsing but are sitting in the browser cache, or even to look inside of a Windows. EXE file and extract items from it.

File Juicer is one of those applications that you won’t fully understand until your download the trial, read the easy to understand “User Guide” and use it. Give it a try and if you like it support the developer and buy it for $17.95. I’m not going to say it’s for every TMUP listener but some of you will eat this up.
