Apple Safari 4.0b (Mac OS X)

Wow - pulling me back  

I had found myself moving away from Safari for FFox - this release will pull me back because: <ul> <li>Top sites is great. <li>History browser with cover flow is great. <li>Rendering is even faster than before. <li>Now has google suggestions in the search box. <li>Works with my University Network (Saf. 3.o didn't) </ul> This is now the best browser outside of Chrome - and is better in some ways. For the mac, it is unsurpassed. [alert admin]

Stainless 0.2 (Mac OS X)

Input Lockup  

Froze me out of interaction (no keyboard/click) within seconds of launching. Had to pull battery to restart. Promising start, but I will be waiting for Version .9b before I go down hard like that again. [alert admin]

Too salty  

I like hot sauce as much as the next guy, but this is too salty! I spread some on the cat and she almost killed the geraniums when she rubbed up against them. [alert admin]

Professor Fizzwizzle and the Molten Mystery 1.0 (Mac OS X)

Super fun  

I am the sort of game player who likes a good puzzle - not som much the lightning fast reactions and timing - just a set of parameters and an ostensibly simple goal. Fizzwizzle fits the ticket perfectly. Friendly, colorful, tasteful and challenging. I love it, and if I wasn't such a cheapskate ($0 spent on games in the last three years) I would buy this one and its prequel first - before any other that I have played. I am giving it 4/5 on price because it seems like it is probably a very fair price, but I don't like paying for software, even when creative, thoughtful people have thrown their hearts into it, as these developers obviously have. Good work! [alert admin]

I want to like it, but.....  

CD Spin Doctor is very, very buggy. It crashes more than any app I own (that is, usually) For the last month, I have not ben able to do anything substantial with it. Which is a shame because it has a really nice UI and a good feature set for people who are digitizing cassettes and vinyl. Unfortunately it has essentially no customer support. Don't pay for this.

Discus X 4.00L (Mac OS X)

The only decent cd software  

I have used a half dozen different cd-labeling products, and Discus is the only one that has even half of the workflow features that I would expect. Yes there are some little annoyances, but compared to ANY other software, it shines like perfection. [alert admin]

Bubble Bobble Nostalgie 2.9 (Mac OS X)

Good start, still beta  

I was a big bub/bob fan back in the day so I am always glad to see another knock off. This one is a nice addition to the range of options, but it has some troubles. Some of them are simply lack of absolute faithfulness to the original, and are therefore excusable (i.e different theme music, crystals from water streams flying around the screen instead of dropping straight down from above.) There are some other glitches that make it difficult to play. 1. Foremost, you have to hold down the jump button to get a full jump. Due to the slow action (more below) that means a one-second depress to jump up one level. This must be adjusted. The original had two types of jump - a brief tap would make bub hop, a full press made him fully jump. I like that this function is being restored, but needs tweaking. 2. It is too difficult to jump off of your own bubbles along the wall. 3. It is possible (at least on level 6) to jump over the side wall and fall down along the left side of the screen - off-screen! I couldn't see bub, but I was still hearing him and my bubble attempts brought little "10"'s floating onto the screen. The white ghost couldn't get me though, so I had to quit the game - there was no way for me to die or clear the level! 4. No multi-bubble multiplier - ok, I guess this is not a playability issue, but it is a big one. When there are 4 meanies, I should get 4 thousand points (500*2*2*2) for popping them en masse, not 40 (10*4) 5. This is excutiangly slow on my pismo powerbook 499. I haven't tried it on the dual 1.8 yet. So what do I like: 1. You can do that trick where you position yourself just to the side of a falling meanie then blow and burst a bubble around him without moving. This is very important, and Bub and Bob (mcsebi.com) gets it wrong. 2. Saving game state via repeatable password instead of just "saving" the game. I haven't played far enough (due to usability issues) to actually use this feature, but if it works as it should, I like it! 3. 14.95 is a fair price once this gets worked out. 3. Scores floating up and to the right instead of just sitting still. This attention to detail leaves me hopeful that the other bugs will be worked out. [alert admin]

Battlefield Cribbage 1.2 (Mac OS X)

Promising  

Interesting variation on cribbage. The voices are a little excessive, but that is what preferences are for. The big drawback to this game is figuring out how to play it. The instructions that come with the game are very long - I don't have the attention span. I play cribbage though, and after playing BC for 30 minutes or so, I am beginning to get a sense of what is going on. It does rely on strategy a little more than cribage, which is nice. Probably a few too many trips to the space bar to keep things moving than I would like, but that is helpful at first as I learn how to play the game. In short: If you already know how to play cribbage and like a puzzle, this game is probably worth figuring out. The price is a little higher than I am willing to pay though - I might buy it for 8, but I am a cheapskate - others might pay 13 or so. [alert admin]

Auto Update  

Mine picks it up 1-2 weeks late. Better than nothing, I suppose, but annoying. Maybe they do it to spread out the downloads.

Currency Conversions   

Instructive - but slightly off. It should cost more to buy US dollars than you get by selling them. If this..... You buy 29.99 US Dollar : 19.48883 Euro You sell 29.99 US Dollar : 19.50151 Euro .....were true, you could make money (.013 Euro) by buying 29.99 US dollars, then turning right around and selling them for Euros.

1: This isn't made by m$ 2: This isn't Junk - it works great 3: Back in the OS9 and 10.0 days, M$ made a bunch of bombs that could take down the computer at any time. That is not the case any more - their qualit is actually very reliable these days.

Drivers? Really?  

My Microsoft keyboard has 24 keys and a slide wheel that my apple keyboard does not have. Thankfully, they have released these drivers so that those keys actually do something. Please don't review software you haven't used.
