AOL Desktop for Mac 1.5b2 (Mac OS X)

Still not compatible with the AOL service!!!!!

Come on!!!! Do you guys know what MySpace and Facebook are? So why did you do no testing of AIM profiles? I tried to add a photo, a SIMPLE task, anyone might want to do right?!?! Guess what I got when I tried? "We're sorry, the You've Got Pictures service does not currently support the browser you are using. To use the You've Got Pictures service, please use the latest version of the Netscape browser. Once you have launched your Netscape browser window, go to http://pictures.aol.com. Download Netscape now" Download NETSCAPE!!!! OMG! Please....kill this! [alert admin]

Adobe Flash Player 10.0.0.525 (Mac OS X)

Warning! Breaks CNN (for me anyway!)

For those that care this, for me, seems to have killed my ability to watch CNN content. YouTube seems to work though the processor demands are still VERY high. [alert admin]

AOL Desktop for Mac beta 19 (Mac OS X)

Here's my review!

To offset people that are shills for AOL I will finally provide a real review. Not as good a browser as Safari, not as good a AIM client as iChat, not as good an email client as Apple Mail. If you don't mind ads everywhere and you can't manage to make your own bookmarks etc., to AOL/AIM sites, then this is for you! Otherwise move on... [alert admin]

AOL Desktop for Mac 1.0 (Mac OS X)

I don't get the strategy!?!?!

Is there one? No other service requires or offers a separate web/mail client. Why? Because there are already plenty out there and to ask users with multiple mailboxes and bookmarks etc., to manage yet another client just isn't realistic! Worse if your offerings are sub-par and offer little if anything in differentiation when compared to these other tools already in the possession of users. A separate client would make sense ONLY if you were adding additional services and features that needed a desktop application and could not be done as well using web 2.0 technologies. The features supported should be those most requested by users while highlighting unique service features. This fails on all counts! To anyone thinking of trusting their internet life to AOL's software the landscape is littered with discontinued AOL efforts and many bare the scars to trying to get their data out of proprietary AOL formats etc. While this offering is better in that regard why go down this road again. I will stay on the old client until it dies then I will leave AOL for good. [alert admin]

Apple Java for OS X 10.5 Update 1 1.6.0_05 (Mac OS X)

WTF?

I have a 18 month old MacBook Pro and I too get the "64-bit" install fail. You can't be serious! [alert admin]

DVD2oneX 2.2.0 (Mac OS X)

Crashes on opening for me!

I have a G4 MDD and a MacBook Pro and on both machines it crashes upon opening. I don't have anything strange running like haxies etc., and there really isn't too much in common with these two machines. This is a non-starter for me. :-( I'd be interested in hearing if others have an issue. [alert admin]

AOL Desktop Beta 12 (Mac OS X)

You can not be serious!

AOL PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP THE INSANITY! Give it up! Those of us still using AOL are either sticking with the old client that at least still works on Tiger. Or for me running the Windows version on my Intel Mac using Parallels! This latest attempt is a non-starter! Can't you get that through your thick heads!!!!!! I'm appalled at what you are throwing to us and you should be ashamed. Give us an updated AIM client and a version of the old AOL (aka chatrooms) and we're good! ONE MORE TIME..all together... WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER EMAIL CLIENT! WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER BROWSER!!! For sure not from a company with such a poor record of Mac support. Apple, by the latest report has 21% of the consumer US computer market share for the last quarter. TREAT THE MAC THAT WAY, or GET OUT OF THE WAY!!! Sorry, the Emperor has no clothes....

Vegas Jackpot Gold 1.0 (Mac OS X)

Like to see an update! Better than most!

This is pretty cool. Unlike Hoyle Casino 2008 it seems to be truly random. I have Hoyle Casino 2008 but soon discovered it was using something in the preferences files to pre-ordain the next card or roll of the dice. Ruined it for me. [alert admin]

Yes, it breaks things...

Beta means internal testing has found it ready for external testing in what should be unique situations the standard test suite wouldn't find. There is NO WAY on God's green Earth, that CNN and YouTube are not on the standard QA plan. If they aren't someone needs to be replaced. These are obvious defects in the software which should make it not beta quality. People can't test what doesn't work! …

Piece of crap as the previous beta

Same here! Don't you think CNN would be on the basic QA test plan before beta? I don't understand how they can call this beta when it breaks the #1 news site's video feed?!?!?! If I were the Product Manager that would be a no go for beta.

Idiots

Beta software is defined as feature complete. Of course there are bugs and people will expect that. There is NOTHING wrong or inappropriate about commenting on them here so others can make a more informed decision. Your attitude could use some QA testing!

This software is a good replacement for the original.

Funny, we don't care about your review either! At least I had the courtesy not to rate it and you give it 4 stars! Do you work for AOL? You think this is a "good experience" mail, IM, and Web with ads all over? And this is better than Apple Mail, Safari, Address Book , and iChat how?

newer than 1.0?

Yeah...I'm not getting it. Worse they have actually added NEW FEATURES! So it's not a 1.0.1 but a 1.1...you never add features, even lame ones like this, to what should be a bug fix release. OMG...why do I bother with this, this is 4 min I can't get back!

Good Software

It's called Apple's Mail and there is no reason AOL can't work well with it. They just want to show you ads.
