Apple Boot Camp 2.1 (Mac OS X)
How about fleshing out the 64bit drivers. The 2GB RAM ceiling issue under 32bit Vista and XP are annoying to say the least. I know it's not Apple's fault for Windows not using more than 2GB of RAM under 32bit Windows, but 64bit will pending finished drivers from Apple. What's the hold up? [alert admin]

Eve Online 4.10.51200 (Mac OS X)
It takes a bit of time to figure out how things work, even with the tutorials. Much has been already said about this game. It seems to takes a certain personality to get any real enjoyment out of this micro-managing, slow action game. The Mac port of it seems to be half hearted though. I have it installed both under bootcamp and on the OS X side, and the PC side is way higher quality than the Mac version. The graphics are lower quality, and the sound was so garbled that I couldn't imagine trying to run through the tutorials again. If your into this kind of game, then wait until the Mac version is a bit more polished.. or simply use the PC version. [alert admin]

Parallels Desktop 3.0 Build 4124.0 (Mac OS X)
DO NOT USE THE DEMO VERSION! It installs a bunch of drivers and such on your windows drive. And the only way to get rid of it is to uninstall them while parallels is running. The problem is, if your trial has expired, there's NO WAY TO GET RID OF IT off your windows drive. I've booted into Windows with bootcamp and the windows uninstaller says you have to be running parallels to uninstall the parallels drivers and such. Unless you plan on either a) buying the software, or b) re-formatting your windows drive, your stuck with it. Shoddy design, ripping customers off, lousy support.. stay away from this product!

iSquint 0.9n (Mac OS X)
Rather buggy still, but expected for this early of a release. 
Quite frankly, yes it has a nice interface but the glue tying it to it's open source brain needs some serious work still. I encountered several applescript errors, and after I decided to quit the program while it was encoding, it left ffmpeg merrily running as a faceless task still encoding in the background after it quit. The program shows potential, but it's still rather buggy. I look forward to trying it again in the future when it hits a more stable version number. [alert admin]

EyeTV 1.8.3 (Mac OS X)
Now that the video iPod has been released, an export preset to iPod video would be quite dandy! :) [alert admin]

Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 8.0 (Mac OS X)
I'm getting tired of these expensive bug-fixes.. how about fixing the bugs in your current versions before releasing new ones? Sorry Macromedia/Adobe, I've been a loyal licencee of every new version of Dreamweaver since version 1, and I'm tired of playing this game. You've lost me as a paying customer (make that x2 as I won't be upgrading neither my home-office copy or my employer's copy). [alert admin]

EyeTV 1.8.3 (Mac OS X)
Great hardware (EyeTV 200) and excellent software. The only idea on my wishlist is if they could add divx encoding to the hardware now that divx dvd home players are more popular. Otherwise no complaints! [alert admin]

ShapeShifter 2.0.1 (Mac OS X)
I stopped using Shapeshifter because it always screwed up Firefox's bookmarks in the browser window. It may be Unsanity's fault or the developers of Firefox, but considering that's likely the most used program on my computer, not being able to properly read my bookmarks on the toolbar is a big minus. Yes, I can tell Shapeshifter to not skin Firefox, but then it looks out of place from all the other apps. [alert admin]

Floppy Disk Labeler 1.0 (Mac OS X)
Isn't this an oximoron? I don't recall any OS X capable Mac's that even have a floppy drive. Mabey it's to label floppy discs for a PC or Amiga. :) My old Beige G3 had a floppy drive, but couldn't run OS X. [alert admin]

This is pretty common actually for Torrent clients to lock up routers. They open so many connections that eventually the router can't handle it anymore. I've seen the same thing with the most popular Torrent program Azureus.

Intel Only?! Well thats pretty dumb.
Sadly, better get used to it, I can see this happening alot more often than not in the not to far future. Most games are developed for Wintel, it's going to be alot easier to port them to Intel Mac, than make PPC versions. On the upside, I can see alot more games being made for the Mac.

Why only two and a half minutes??????????????
Quick, somebody call the Waaaaaahbulance.. 2.5 minutes is more than adequate as to test. If your looking for specific artifacting, convert just that chunk with Podner. I've used ever single iPod video converter I could get my hands on, and Podner does a VERY respectable job at what it claims to do.. enough for me to register it.

Excellent automatic application
Your 'grading' system is poor.. considering there is only 5 grades (A,B,C,D,F) and your using a 'out of 5 system' then it would only make sense that anything that's 4.x would be a A-, A or A+ and anything that's 3.x would be a B-, B or B+.

I have my email address right here
For one-off email addresses, where you need to receive and activation link or what not, use Mailinator.com.. that's what I use, and it's free. You can put in any ***@mailinator.com and just go to the website to check that username.

FruitMenu turns the Apple menu back into the useful tool it was before Apple neutered it. Death to the Dock!
