You can find a lot of great widgets for the Mac Dashboard; calculators, calendars, dictionaries and more of the like. The only thing is, how often do you switch to the Dashboard to do something? To interrupt your work on any one of the desktop spaces and switch to the Dashboard for a widget isn’t convenient, and that is probably why you’ll find a lot of apps that do what a widget does. Farensius is a free Mac app that puts the local weather on your menu bar and makes it more accessible compared to the weather widget. It lets you pick which unit you want to view the outside temperature in, lets you define how frequently the app should check for updates (as opposed to giving a single reading for the entire day), and you can even force the app to check for an update.

Heat kills and one of the greatest foes of your PCs' hardware components is probably heat. Excessive heat can kill them within minutes and without you even knowing it. Akin to temperature rise of CPU, GPU and motherboard - amidst certain system heavy loads, temperature of hard drives also increases significantly during heavy processing and read/write operations, and can even damage the hard drive (which though is rare the case) if no proper care is taken. For instance, your hard drive will start heating up if you’re running a virtual machine on your computer and might act abnormally. Likewise, hard drive temps go considerably high during summer seasons due to high ambient temperature, or in adequate system airflow. Manufacturers design each hard drive with temperature thresholds that they need to run within to function properly, and avoid damage to data and hardware. That is why it is important to monitor your hard drive temperatures while performing operations that require heavy processing or you might end up breaking one and then expect a long wait for the RMA process. Today, we have an application for you called DiskAlarm, which allows you to view the hard drive temperature, and sounds an alarm in case the temperature exceeds the specified limit. Read past the break for more details pertaining to its usage. Read More
