Microsoft Messenger 7.0.0 (Mac OS X)
Huh? Did I get that right? Version 7 and still no audio/video chat? You... you... got to be kidding, right? [alert admin]

Solitaire XL 1.1.7 (Mac OS X)
The developer's site, lavacat.com, seems to be down, the link redirects to register.com. Can't find an alternative download site. Anyone with more luck? [alert admin]

FinderPop 2.1.2 (Mac OS X)
One genuinely nice fella (I met him once at Apple HQ in Ireland), writing a really sweet piece of software, without which I would been lost during the OS 8 and 9 days. Nowadays, I don't rely on FinderPop as much as I once did, but it's nice to have around. Comforting, like. Go on and buy Turly a pint. He earned it! [alert admin]

iSoftphone 1.2105 (Mac OS X)
$75 for an iPhone rip-off design, especially when the competition offers free alternatives?? Oh, you've GOT to be kidding me. Wait, what's that smell? Aah, it's the Apple legal department bloodhounds. [alert admin]

Disco 1.0b4 (Mac OS X)
They say they'll eat "Toast for breakfast", because apparantly Toast is oh so bloated and overloaded.
Huh? I love Toast for its excellent interface, which is anything but bloated or cluttered - it's well organized and neat. What these developers should do instead is to port Disco to Windows. If you've ever used Nero, WinOnCD etc., you know how bloated, cluttered, ugly and downright annoying a user interface can get.
So stop needlessly dissing Toast and start re-thinking your strategy. [alert admin]

MacDrive 6.1.5 (Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows 2000)
Don't bother with this - you'll lose your data 
I really wanted this software to work. Using both a Win XP machine and a PowerBook at home, this looked like the perfect way to exchange files between both machines.
Well, I had to learn it the hard way that this software simply isn't ready for the market. AT ALL. Basically, it destroys your Mac disk directories. If your PC crashes (which mine used to do even more than usual when MacDrive was installed) while you have a Mac disk connected, the next time you boot up MacDrive will tell you that you only have read-only access to the drive, due to the crash. I'm not sure what it does to your drive then, but it can't be good.
I lost the contents three external disks due to MacDrive. One, a 250GB USB drive, could be repaired on the Mac using DiskWarrior (which I by the way love and highly recommend). The second one, a FireWire drive, was so damaged that DiskWarrior only allowed me to backup my data from the disk - the directory itself was so severely damaged that DiskWarrior couldn't recreate it. And the last one, another FW device, was so messed up that I could only retrieve a few files using DataRescue II.
I learnt my lesson. Save yourself the money, the time and the frustration, and stay away from this unfinished piece of crap. [alert admin]

Posterino 1.0 beta 4 (Mac OS X)
Is it just me, or does the first review of this app sound suspiciously as if written by the developer himself? ;-) Sneaky.
Anyway, I would have loved to try this app but couldn't get it to run. It crashes out before it even fully opens. Probably incompatible with something else I'm running... but I can't be bothered now to troubleshoot the problem. Anyone else with the same issue? [alert admin]

Yojimbo 1.2 (Mac OS X)
This "Mr Sniffles" person seems like the kind of guy of complains that Photoshop isn't great at word processing. Yes, because it's not meant for that. Jeeez, cut this app some slack already.
Comparing Yojimbo to iOrganize, Journler or Curio is equally pointless - they all are very different in what they offer. Curio is a fantastic aid in doodling/scribbling/getting ideas together. Journler is, as the name implies, more a journal than anything else. And iOrganize... are you kidding me?? How much more basic can you get?
Yojimbo great at what it does - storing my passwords and login details for all my email accounts, site memberships (just used it to look up what password I use here on VT), saving info snippets from websites I stumbled upon (or the webpage itself as an archive), keeping track of my serial numbers. In a way it's like StickyBrain, but a whole lot more streamlined.
I especially like the tab/drop dock thingy that floats unobstrusivly on the right edge of my screen and lets me drag stuff to it for filing. Nice touch.
The only issues I have with Yojimbo are cosmetic - I really dislike both the name and the icon. The latter I changed straightaway to something more visuall aesthetic from iconfactory.com. As for the name... not much one can do.
All in all, I really like this app. And it puzzles me when a good and well-designed product like this gets a beating from people who don't understand its purpose. [alert admin]

Kinemac 1.0.0 (Mac OS X)
What an incredible piece of work
This is the software I have been looking for since I got a Mac ages ago. Finally somebody has done 3D Text animation (and a lot more besides that) right, without requiring the user to take a 3-week boot camp course in 3D design. Absolute fantastic. The developer is extraordinarily responsive and friendly - mailed my feature request and an hour later I had a long personal reply in my mailbox. Now this is someone I happily give my money to, in exchange for a great piece of work. [alert admin]

Dude, you need to chill. Apple decides what's available where...
..., not necessarily the developer

If you rate your own product, try to make it look a bit less obvious. Nobody in their right mind would write a whole frickin' ESSAY about a piece of shareware... if they didn't write it themselves and are desperately trying to flog it.

Ah, the XTorrent developer drops by! :-)
Dude, if you don't like this product, fine. But instead of posting such a lame comment, try making your own software better.

"no way should they let this sort of thing happen" - huh?? Bad bad Apple for (intentionally, I bet!) breaking the functionality of a P2P program mainly used for getting pirated movies/software/music/porn/etc... Yeah, right.

Has a similar name to the Apple "Mac" line of computers (http://www.apple.com). Possibly copyright problem? ;-)

Are those songs purchased from iTunes?

Oops, sory - I think I got that wrong.
My previous post seems to have been slightly misguided. I was sure I read somewhere that MS bought Flip4Mac, but I can't seem to find anything now to back that up. My bad.

Microsoft is a gentleman? That's new. :-)
As far as I know, MS bought the developer and continues releasing the software. Ok, it's nice that it's free. But I wouldn't go that far as to call Steve Ballmer a "gentleman"... :)

It surely can't be the first time you ran across the letters "RC" in a software's version number...?
