When you're working on your Mac, sometimes things happen in the background that you would like to keep track of while working in another application. Growl just received a big update and it works with hundreds of popular Mac apps to notify you of specific events, such as when a download is complete or when your CD-burning project is finished.

Also this week, MacPilot's update adds more ways to fiddle around with your Mac, optimizing it to run better, and unlocks the hidden potential of OS X. Our game this week is Jalada Boskonian, a 2D arcade shooter in which you defend the earth by destroying enemy bases all while enemy ships try to thwart you at every turn.

Don't forget to check out our iPhone apps of the week!
