Xfile Test Drive 2.0.1.5 (Mac OS X)
I've had this for some time. When our Finder gets nuttier for each release it's good to know there are utilities that still give you what you need. These apps are incredibly fast and thorough and Xfile itself has a lot of protection against mishaps in the file system. [alert admin]

Trimmit! 0.95 (Mac OS X)
This one does it all. The last had trouble with trimming my binaries. [alert admin]

rootMachine 1.9.2 (Mac OS X)
Oh I so do not want to see another one of these AppleScript system maintenance apps. Cor! Crikey! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Use AppleJack. Use CLIX. Hey - use even *censored*tail if you were dumb enough to buy it and still have it around. But just GROW UP! [alert admin]

DSWipe 1.0 (Mac OS X)
OK, it works, and the person who wrote this is not a professional developer - he's a professional web designer and a rather good one at that judging from his portfolio. And the app is free and takes very little disk space. But the question remains: why use it? Not "why" as in "why do I want to get rid of those pesky Arno files" but as in "why would anyone want to do things this way." Are there no other files people have to ferret out from time to time? What about old Sherlock indexes? Are we going to have to download a new program for that? The character string ".DS_Store" is baked into the program - it could be made a variable so the user could specify any file name. And who says we just want to delete files? Maybe we only want to find them - and list them? Maybe do something else with them? Who says it's going to be delete all the time? I understand why the author took the time to write this. He's annoyed by those files as much as anyone. But what I cannot understand is why you people continue to search out one-off apps to do one thing when you should be looking for general purpose apps to do any number of things. To me it doesn't sound like you're all that smart. And as the author says at the end of the app's official help file, it's only a Terminal command line anyway. So why not get a parent or guardian to hold your hand and help you add the following after your shell prompt? You can stop making the rest of us look so STUPID. sudo find / -name ".DS_Store" -exec rm -f {}\; [alert admin]

Tracker 1.0 (Mac OS X)
I don't like the fsevents idea. Apple did this for Spotlight. If you want to hook into that, you have to do it as root. Bad idea. Also, the queue can get clogged, there's only one buffer for all clients, and if anything else happens on the system - expanding VM for example - then the system sends a different event instead, namely that it's currently unable to send events [sic]. I figure at least 50% of those capable of upgrading to Tiger have not done so for well documented reasons, and at any rate this way of doing things works better, faster, more reliably, and it works on all platforms.

I can't believe people are still using this. Do any of you have any idea what risks you're taking? Any idea how this 'contraption' really works? If you did you certainly wouldn't run it ever again. [alert admin]

Happy Mac Command Line Phobia Defeater 0.0.0.0.1 (Mac OS X)
This is good. I've been waiting for something like this. As Alpha says, dig down inside. This is a riot. PK, if there's hate at all, it must be for idiots like you. You really do stand out as a total moron. So maybe there was a reason to release this turkey after all. I give this one ten out of five. I won't keep it around, but if I need a good laugh or the day is going slowly, I'll just download it again. Thanks Rixstep! PS. And I think I speak for many when I say I've learned more from your site than most of the other zealot sites combined. Thanks for giving us the time and effort. For FREE. [alert admin]

Homeland Alert 3.6.5 (Mac OS X)
This has to be in the running for the most obscene application on any platform at any time. And I can't get over how incompetent the author is: this is a 'menulet' that accesses a really simple URL online. http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/getAdvisoryCondition And from that URL gets back two lines of XML. Such as the following. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <THREAT_ADVISORY CONDITION="RUNFORTHEHILLS" /> That's it. That's ALL it does. Now tell me why: 1. it takes nearly half a meg to download; and 2. the author thinks people should pay for this. And tell me not only why but how. [alert admin]

Xupport 3.1.8 (Mac OS X)
If only the author would respond to bug tickets as fast as he changes icons. But honestly, this thing has gone from so-so to butt-ugly and back again so many times I just don't have the patience for it anymore. Use the command line and make your own scripts is what I say. Unix has a far better track record. [alert admin]

Teriyaki, may I recommend a kindergarten course in Unix? This program has things lacking in Finder? And so what? - I do not see accessed times. - I see 'created' times incorrectly labeled. They're not created times at all - they're the times the iblock was last changed. - I see no mention of user or group ownership. - I see no mention of actual access rights. As in read write execute for user, group, and other. - I see no extended attributes such as system and user append, system and user immutable, system archived and user opaque. - I see single precision floating point file sizes to six decimals which is just plain ridiculous. - I see 'kilobytes' spelled with camel case, indicating vast experience in the computing science field. - I see something called 'MP3 Renamer' which has me staggering. - I see a bunch of archaic irrelevant 'MacOS' file attributes that do not mean squat any longer today. And I see nearly twelve thousand sheltered users who are in a lot of trouble. [alert admin]

Potential Problem with rev. 4.3.2 
Or could *censored*tail have something to do with a firmware update? If it has your password then it's possible?

That's a good point. But if you look on your Edit menu, you will see the command 'Add...'. The idea is YOU make it. What's offered in _default is only to point you in the right direction - to whet your appetite. The table's been set, the food's been served - you want someone to spoonfeed you too? For that matter, find probably has switches to not traverse network and symbolic links. It's 'man find' from the command line.…

Oh yeah... I forgot to mention: one of the strictest qualifications for being accepted by Toggle Booleans was that your app had to be WELL ENGINEERED. Come at them with a 1.1 MB monster to record mouse distances and they wouldn't even have wasted time laughing at you. Tada.

- After all, isn't OS X really just charging to use Terminal commands? I hope this is tongue in cheek and no more. On top of FreeBSD you have a lot of work with Cocoa and Carbon - 'Aqua'. The interface is better than KDE or Gnome, and you pay for it. Just because it's free wouldn't mean it's free anyway. Free in this context refers to the source code being there for you to alter -…

Stradlater, you still haven't answered the question, as you no doubt know. Can you please point out WHICH icons, for which applications? I see nothing here. Thanks.

I don't think we're moralistic morons here. The morons are the spammers; we are justifiably tired of spam. I too manage rather huge mailing lists - and I don't need this program, thank you; I have been doing well for years without it. As for culling email addresses from files - if this isn't a spam crawler, what is? Your witness.
