Remember the Milk Desktop App

I am a big fan of Remember the Milk, the online todo list and task manager.  I use the iPhone app to access my lists on the go, but I've wanted a better desktop experience when I am working on the Mac.  Luckily, Christoph Peter (Chrillo)  has created an Adobe Air App called App for the Milk.  I LOVE it.  If you're using RTM to manage your tasks, then go download App for the Milk.

Features:
Manage your remember the milk tasks from your desktop
The first app for rtm with online - offline syncronization
Dynamic dock icon that shows upcoming tasks
Can run minimized in the background on Mac OS X and Win

Intuit acquiring Mint for $170M via VentureBeat

Mint, the popular personal finance website, has been acquired by Intuit, the maker of finance software Quicken and its web version Quicken Online, for $170 million. Chief executive Aaron Patzer just confirmed the news at the TechCrunch50 conference.

Patzer launched Mint at the inaugural TechCrunch40 conference two years ago. Rumors of the acquisition were first reported last night.

A month ago, in August, Mint announced $14 million in funding, bringing its total to $31 million.The round was led byDAG Ventures, with new financing from Founders Fund and a top-up from existing investors Benchmark Capital, Shasta Ventures, First Round Capital and Sherpalo.

I hope they don't ruin it.

 

Update: More info from TechCrunch

Expect all of this goodness to increase after the acquisition closes. And yes, expect Mint.com and Quicken Online to remain free.
