I have recently moved to a mac, so I have not looked at the new version of biblioscape, which was released within the last week or so. To my mind, that is the serious software for academic research an...

Stephen is right, the question was poorly worded. I'm not so much interested in the differences between platforms as whether people had experience to share about scrivener and devonthink. I have hea...

I think this program is brilliant. Not for storing large amounts of information, but very nicely executed GTD functionality. You just use it, very little overhead in terms of time invested setting i...
