MacPool 10.8.3 (Mac OS X)
This developer is asleep at the wheel. Or worse! Despite the intense criticism earlier, nothing has changed. This "game" is still nothing more than a boring piece of sh1t! [alert admin]

Dammit Distortion 1.3 (Mac OS X)
Hard to have confidence in a developer who makes a typo in his descriptive text. [alert admin]

iClock Pro 1.0rc1 (Mac OS X)
The developer still doesn't get it! The utility is still in beta. Another way of saying we are the developer's free quality control department (FQCD). Yet they expect to be paid for the software, bugs, shortcomings and all. Until we pay, we do not have access to all of the features. So how the hell can we evaluate it, report bugs, request improvements and do all of the other things that the FQCD is asked/expected to do? Until I can evaluate all of the features, I will never pay for it. Other software developers know how to sidestep this chicken-and-egg situation, why can't these guys wake up (and sniff the missing revenue stream)? [alert admin]

QuarkXPress 8.1 (Mac OS X)
Bugs gone. Thanks, Quark. I know many people don't like the company. Maybe I don't either. But I don't like Adobe either. Overlooking that, the software itself performs flawlessly for me, unlike 8.0. I've not used InDesign so I can't compare. All I know is that QuarkXPress now does exactly what i want and I'm familiar with it so I won't be changing. I don't think it deserves only 2 stars so I'll give it five to boost the average to 4 where I think it should be. [alert admin]

GlimmerBlocker 1.4.1 (Mac OS X)
After downloading this, the disk image opened automatically and there was no presentation of the standard Apple warning to the effect: This is an application that you just downloaded from the internet. Are you sure you want to open it? Not only very naughty, how did the developer manage to over-ride this extremely beneficial warning? Installation involves system files that are placed in places that a newbie would not intuitively understand. so why is there no uninstaller? Immediately after installation, it would be normal practice to present a preferences dialog. Not this time! Go to its Preferences Pane and the options presented are so opaque no newbie could understand them. Unhelpful! Again, after installation, Safari stopped working completely. Reason: This monkey of a utility reconfigured my Network/Proxy Server settings without asking. Again, no newcomer would ever figure out where to go to fix this insane and arrogant change in settings. Avoid this bit of BS like the plague. The developer should be shot! Plonk. And I hope like hell I've deleted _all_ of the offending bits of detritus. With no installation log, who knows?

Adobe Fireworks CS4 (Mac OS X)
Hey Adobe, how about actually telling people what a software tool does under "product description" instead of putting notes there that are really more like "what's new in this version". I've been using the various Adobe CS iterations for many years (of course, 99% Photoshop) yet I still have no solid idea what Fireworks does. Yes, I could go to Adobe to find out if I really really wanted to know but I read VT daily so this is where i look for overviews. Adobe is one of the companies Mac aficionados love to hate and I suspect this is one of the reasons. [alert admin]

Microsoft Silverlight 3.0.40818.0 (Mac OS X)
Typical MS. When will I ever learn? I promised myself no MS product would ever again enter my office but I relented and tried this out. Absolute rubbish! Video is jerky, completely unacceptable. It's just as though MS has set out to sabotage anything Apple but, as far as I know, the quality is just as bad on a PC. I earn my living on the web. I simply couldn't afford the humiliation of letting this BS go live. Plonk [alert admin]

MoneyWorks Gold 5.2.8 (Mac OS X)
I searched and searched and searched on their web site for a comment about price but could not find anything. (Kiwi blushes). If, as mjsickel's note suggests, it is NZD 899 then today (1 September 2009) that translates to USD 618 and EUR 430. A sign of the times as the euro and the kiwi strengthen significantly against the USD (Although i think foulgernz made an error first time around.) And re foulgernz's note, NBR might be an excellent business newspaper but the web site is unhelpful and poorly-designed. The link no longer references anything to do with this software. [alert admin]

VLC Media Player 1.0.1 (Mac OS X)
Some quirks. Cannot move forward or play fast forward as easily as in Quicktime. If it strikes a problem, it refuses to obey Apple's "Force Quit" command [alert admin]

Don't be so surprised! Just stay away from the Dark Side. There surely can't be any damned thing you want to do in Windoze.
