Software Pick of the Day: AppleJack

Like all operating systems OS X does tend to have problems that aren't easily diagnosed, such as permission errors or small sectors of corrupted information. So what is an OS X user going to turn to? Well, its seems that this little problem has already been resolved in the nice little "save your butt when it counts" application that does its best to repair a lot of the tougher operating system problems one might encounter. AppleJack is an open source command line application that does just that and I'm sure if I figured out a way to hook up a blender to my mac it might even make a smoothie. Well maybe not the last part but it is pretty effective at letting you get your data backed up just before your hardware dies. Plus is an open source project meaning its free as in beer. This is a must have utility for any geek running OS X, because lets face it when OS X goes wrong it goes very very wrong.
