Update: all invites are spoken for. If/when I get more I’ll be sure to offer them up here as usual. Cheers!

If you’d like an invitation to the (currently beta) online backup and file sharing service Dropbox, leave a comment below. Dropbox offers 2GB of free storage, and you can easily set files to be private, public or shared only with people you specify.

Dropbox requires a 32 or 64bit version of Windows XP or Vista, Mac OS X Tiger or Leopard, and either Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari. It may very well work with other browsers or platforms, but they’re not officially supported, yet.

Note: when leaving a comment, just use the email address you’d like the invitation sent to in the E-mail (will not be published) (required) field. Don’t leave your email address in the actual comment box (unless you like spam). Thanks David for the invite!

Cover Stream is an interesting little app that allows you to control iTunes - with very pretty interface, without having to leave your currently open program. Though I’m somewhat partial to using Quicksilver for everything iTunes-control-related, Cover Stream is without question much more visually appealing. The drawback? It’s not free. Cover Stream costs €14.95 EUR, which comes out to about $23.77 USD (at the time this was published). BUT, it does come with a lifetime of free updates, and there is a fully-functional (time limited) demo available for you to try out. Keep reading for a tour of the features and plenty of screenshots.

This is a brief one, and most of you will know about it already. If you use Apple Key + Shift + 4 to take screenshots, hold down the Space bar at the end of that combination. Your cursor will change from the crosshairs to a “camera” - which you can use to take a screenshot of an application window. And those screenshots will have a nice drop-shadow - something that the screenshot software I use (InstantShot!) does not include.
