A Quickie... MysteryZot Made a Little Less Mysterious

All right, signing on from a hotel wifi connection for a quick post. Having worked with MacZot creator Brian Ball in the past (not to mention having set up camp in his family's living room during last year's Macworld expo), I'm usually privvy to details on the so-called "mysteryzot's" the discount site sells once in a while. For the past few days, they've been running one that includes 5 apps for 5 bucks. You just won't know what they are until the sale is over and the orders sent out.

You probably know where this is going.

While people are going nuts trying to figure this one out, I figure you guys deserve a bit of a break and some insider knowledge. But then again, I can't just list the apps as that would ruin all the fun! (Actually, more like Brian would absolutely kill me.) So I've decided on a compromise. Everyone else doesn't have a clue what the apps are. You guys are gonna get five clues, one for each app.

  • One app is an advertiser on this site. Bundle's already sounding good huh?
  • One pretty much fully replaced an Apple application and piece of hardware for me.
  • One is a great addition to your iLife and Apple's iWeb, for all you emerging stars out there.
  • One's a great tool and cheat sheet for an ever more international world.
  • One is a slick, indispensible tool for all you web developers out there.

Hope that helps guys, I will say that I'm very happy about purchasing this one, now that I know what's inside. ;) Only pity is that I had already bought two of the included apps previously for over $25 at full retail price, but that only makes the deal sweeter for the rest of you who aren't such shareware addicts.
