Warp 1.2.1 (Mac OS X)

Make Spaces practical for me  

I'm all about gestures and intuitive interfaces that make me more productive. What I love about Warp is that if I want to have a quick area to put notes and stuff that won't be obscured by other windows, etc. and don't clog up my view of the Desktop, I just create two Spaces and then drag whatever I want to the edge of my window (I keep a very slight delay to it to prevent accidents) and drop it. Then if I want to quickly read the notes or whatever (and I mean quickly!) I just simply move my mouse to either the left or right edge of my screen and "poof"... I'm reading the note. Then I just move my mouse to the edge again to get back to whatever else I was working on. Apple should integrate Warp options into Spaces stat and give this dev some cash in the process. In the meantime, I donated to keep this alive! [alert admin]

xGestures 1.75 (Mac OS X)

Feature Request - Two-finger gestures  

Dev, please, please, please allow for allow two-finger gestures. It would be incredibly awesome to be able to do some of the same simple gestures I do now but have them do different actions if it's with two fingers on the trackpad. It would open up a whole new world of great gesture functionality when I'm using my laptop without a mouse. For example, right now I use a simple downward gesture to perform Exposé show Desktop. It'd be great if I could also use that same downward gesture to maybe switch between two Spaces or something whenever I use two fingers instead of one. [alert admin]

WeatherDock 2.5.1 (Mac OS X)

Great, but lacking in certain areas  

I've chosen this over all the other menubar weather apps because it seems really stable and it's very customizable to get it how I like it to run for the most part (ironically, killing it from the Dock and have it only work in the menubar for one thing). But it's missing stars for lacking two things that would make me switch to another app if it had feature parity with WeatherDock plus one or both of these two options: 1) An option to show a local and/or state image of radar like the meteorologist app does Here is an image of it in action here: http://z.about.com/d/macs/1/0/M/4/-/-/meteorologist450x480.jpg 2) An option to show how many inches of snow accumulation is predicted instead of only saying "light snow", "heavy snow", etc. If WeatherDock added these two things, I wouldn't be frustrated by having to go to actual weather sites with the Safari browser and could just rely on WeatherDock. While we're at it, another option to turn red or some other type of alert to show when there are severe weather alerts posted. [alert admin]

iView MediaPro 3.1.3 (Mac OS X)

Microsoft sucks  

This is exactly why I hate Microsoft. They march in and buy companies that produce tools for Mac users and then discontinue it for Mac. What absolute SCUM. They did the exact same thing with Connectix Virtual PC for Mac. MicroScum. [alert admin]

No-IP Dynamic DNS Update Client 3.1.3b3 (Mac OS X)

WARNING - Can screw up your system  

One of the worst companies I have ever dealt with. Their app caused problems with remote printing and it wasn't fixed until I painstakingly put everything back together before installing this app. They refuse to admit they cause the issue and also refuse to disclose the contents of the run only applescript that fuddles with your system. The "support" was obtuse at best. I have been a user of Version Tracker for many years and you can check my record here. This is by far the worst of the worst. [alert admin]

Microsoft Virtual PC 7.0.3 (Mac OS X)

All you guys that thought the buyout was a "good thing"...  

Aren't you glad Microsoft bought Virtual PC from Connectix and then proceeded to mothball the program for Macs? Less competition... fantastic... /sarcasm [alert admin]

1Password 2.11.1 (Mac OS X)

What's New...  

Uh, anyone know what's new with 2.11.1? Apparently versiontracker has no clue. It's not like it should track versions or anything... sheesh... [alert admin]

ClamXav 2.0.3 (Mac OS X)

Now having an update problem  

2.0.3 says Staring update... Update Finished almost immediately without getting an update. And, just before that it (apparently) did an update but it took a very long time. Been using ClamXav for years without problems, now it's getting sketchy... what a shame.. [alert admin]

Also detect mouse?  

Forgot one other request, it would be great if xGestures could detect when you plug in a mouse and have the option for a separate set of settings to be enabled when you do. For instance, every time I plug in a mouse to my laptop now, I have to open system preference (with a gesture of course, haha - it's "left, down, up"), then xGestures and change the setting to "Clicking and…

And yes, i know it changed names  

Yes, I know they changed the name to this Expression crap... so it's technically "still available" for Mac. But they've jacked it up so bad it might as well have been discontinued. Don't take my word on it, read the reviews below... ugghh...

YummyFTP  

While I actually really like the Transmit interface better than YummyFTP, I have found that Yummy (despite its stupid, stupid name) actually performs better in some circumstances than Transmit especially if you are uploading lots of files. Sometimes I wish Transmit and Yummy would merge and share resources to make one badass FTP app with a great interface. For now I use Transmit for most FTP work and if it has trouble I'll resort to…

Steering a car doesn't give you CTS  

Let me know how your carpal tunnels syndrome goes... it's quite painful. Maybe that's why you're so smarmy? You really want your head to explode with disgust? Check out xGestures. That kind of speed & productivitly without giving you CTS must really get ya steamed.

Attacked my cat  

This thing got me too. After installing it, the program made my computer leap into the air and try to strangle my orange tabby. Thank God I was able to uninstall this app before it off'ed my Snuggles.
