Divx Pro: Free for the Holidays!
It’s always nice to get something for free, especially around the culturally appropriate holiday of your choice. Divx Pro, which usually costs $20, is now free for a limited time. They don’t say when this offer will expire, so if you use Divx at all, go get it while you can!

How To Swap Hard Drives with the Aid of Time Machine
Gizmodo has a nice guide on how to upgrade that MacBook (Pro) hard drive with the help of Leopard Time Machine. Now you just have to decide whether upgrading to that 320 GB drive (or one of those snazzy solid-state drives) is worth voiding your warranty.

Money Management with Mint.com
Being a Quicken user for the past 3 years, I’m a little skeptical when it comes to other money management software, especially web-based ones. In all honesty, though, Quicken’s ROI for me has lessened over time. You spend $70 and really get minimal use out of it other than record keeping. Setting up accounts isn’t as “auto-magic” as I’d like.

The only reason I gave it a shot was because it was endorsed by Lifehacker, and I trust Lifehacker. I’m very impressed at how easy it was to setup my accounts. In about 5 minutes, Mint.com was telling me more than Quicken usually offers. It’s painless and free.
Back to the security issue… yeah, I don’t blame anyone for being apprehensive about having all of their account information aggregated in a web application. Mint.com’s terms of service are pretty thorough, and I believe that the usefulness it provides weighs heavily in favor of its usage.
At least check out the screenshot tour at Lifehacker. You might see something you like.
