  Adobe DNG Converter takes nearly every Camera RAW file on the market (NEF, CRW, PTX...) and transcodes it into an open standard format developed by Adobe. By removing proprietary specifications and encryption built in by camera manufacturers, the purpose is to ensure your digital negatives can be opened at any point in the future.

  Benefits to DNG include better file compression without losing any pixel data (lossless); the ability to embed and extract the original RAW file; and saving internal metadata (instead of sidecar XMP files) when using Adobe software like Bridge to make non-destructive adjustments.

  New versions of the app are released regularly to support new Camera RAW formats.

  Note: The download archive also comes with the latest RAW plugin for the latest CS and Elements. If you have an earlier version of Photoshop please see the
  full download page for prior plugin versions, which can be used alongside the most recent DNG app. Always check the Readme for full details.

  Quake

  Originally made by ID Software, Quake is now opensource.

  There are many versions of the mac quake engine available (eg, NPR Quake, Atari Quake, Fruitz of Dojo Quake...etc), so I have linked to the most popular one GLQuake .

  For those who have been living on another planet ( :D mars?), Quake is a First Person Shooter similar to other classics such as the Doom series, Duke Nukem and Wolfenstein.
  Battle through the official levels battling monsters and demons from hell, and then download custom made maps from other players out there and try new, unseen maps and levels....the opensource aspect makes the variability virtually endless.

  A True classic and one of the finest FPS' out there (think lots of Blood, Guts and Gore).
