Domain Name Grabber

Domain Name Grabber is a free widget for OS X that lets you quickly and easily research domain names. Simply type in your idea and click “Go.” The widget supports dozens of extensions.

One might argue that there are online tools out there that provide better functionality. That’s definitely true, but Domain Name Grabber sits right on your desktop. You can even configure Expose on Leopard to open the widget upon moving your mouse over any corner of the screen. For the price of free, I’m not complaining.

Free iPhone app tracks IPv4 depletion

Some folks may not be worried about IPv4 depletion, but for those who are, there’s a neat application called ByeBye v4 for the iPhone and iPod Touch that tracks the number of IPv4 addresses remaining.

The application provides other information, too, such as the number of IPv6 addresses in use, estimated number of days before IPv4 runs out, and the percentage of TLDs using the new system.

The tool is also available as a Windows Gadget, iGoogle Gadget, and webpage widget. It has an average rating of 4/5 stars in the Apple App Store.
