New Bento 3 Personal Database by FileMaker
Brings Innovative New Ways to View, Use and Share Photos, Contacts, Calendars, Files and More
Popular Mac database integrates with iPhoto, provides multi-user sharing, new security options and a limited $20 rebate for existing Bento users
FileMaker, Inc. announced the immediate availability of Bento 3, a breakthrough new version of the popular personal database for the Mac. For the first time ever, Bento 3 integrates with iPhoto from Apple allowing you to store more info about your photos and link them to contacts, projects, events and other information stored in Bento.
“Think of Bento 3 as a powerful, easy way to bring together all of your key Mac information and photos,” said Ryan Rosenberg, vice president, marketing and services, FileMaker, Inc. “With Bento 3, we’re providing new ways for you to view and interact with your information so you can organize contacts, projects, events and even more details of your life.”
Share and share alike securely with up to five users
Bento 3 also delivers new ways to share your information with other Bento users. Just like sharing iTunes and iPhotos over a local area network (LAN) using Apple’s Bonjour technology, you can now share your Bento libraries with up to five users over a wired or wireless local network. You can also encrypt any field and assign passwords to secure your information in Bento 3.
View information in ways never before possible using a database
The new Grid view in Bento 3 delivers an innovative method of displaying thumbnails of photos, text and numeric-based information, while improved File Lists show image thumbnails, instead of just text.
Get started instantly
With Bento 3, you can choose from 35 pre-designed, ready-to use templates thanks to the addition of 10 more templates for popular uses, including wine collecting, job hunting, home searching, vacation planning and more. In addition, the recently launched Bento Template Exchange shows off hundreds of downloadable templates designed by Bento users, so there is never a shortage of new ideas for ways to use Bento 3.
Special limited time offers available
Bento 3 has a suggested list price of $49, but, for a limited time only, FileMaker is offering a $20 rebate to existing users of Bento 1 and Bento 2. Qualified customers who purchase Bento 3 through the FileMaker Store will get an instant rebate and pay just $29 for Bento 3.

SilverLab – The tool for numerical calculations straight in the browser
db5 Dynamics AB is proud to present SilverLab, the first online tool to be used as a programming language for numerical calculations. SilverLab is a free MatLab®-compatible tool that runs in the browser only.
SilverLab covers all needs of the ordinary user and additional functionality will be added continuously. By offering the application online there are some important advantages over software that needs to be installed on the client computer:
- Many companies have a very strict IT-policy preventing employees from downloading and installing software. SilverLab runs in the browser which means no potential security risk for companies and other users.
- Users automatically get access to the latest version of SilverLab without the need of any installation since the application only needs to be updated on the server.
Key features include:
- Matrix functions and matrix analysis
- Logarithmic and exponential functions
- Trigonometric functions
- Plotting
Another important difference with GPL-variants such as Octave is that SilverLab offers all support collected in one place which especially companies prefer.
