MiniPlayer 1.0 (Mac OS X)

For The Lazy  

Seriously. Because switching to iTunes, clicking the minimize/maximize ("+") button in the title bar, and switching back to whatever app you were running is just too much work. [alert admin]

ClamXav 2.0 beta (Mac OS X)

NOT a bad beta  

If you're having problems with 2.0.1 Beta crashing, delete the .plist file at: ~/Library/Preferences/co.uk.markallan.clamxav.plist This is a great update to a great FREE antivirus solution. Keep up the good work! [alert admin]

TwitterOnTheRun 1.0 (Mac OS X)

Seriously?  

No. Just...no.

A good hour of my day is spent scraping auto-follows from bots off of my Twitter feed. Please don't enable the trolls and spammers.

Please? [alert admin]

Get Tube 4.0 (Mac OS X)

Or, try this...  

• Using Safari, open the page with the YouTube video you want to snatch.
• While the video is loading, open the Activity window (command-shift-A).
• The video will be the largest file downloading.
• Click on it, and copy it (command-c).
• Open the Downloads window (command-shift-L).
• Paste the item you just copied (command-V)

This will download the video to your specified download location as "video.flv". After it downloads, you may wish to rename it.

This file is playable by Quicktime - right click (or option-click), and select "Open With..." If Quicktime Player isn't listed, select "Other...", and navigate to Quicktime Player in your Applications folder. To avoid having to do this in the future, check the "Always open with" box.

You're done, with no additional software needing to be installed! [alert admin]

Safari PB 1.8.1 (Mac OS X)

Why?  

Apparently, choosing Safari>Private Browsing... and clicking "OK" is too much work for some people. [alert admin]

Still Waiting For LiveJournal Support

Sandvox 1.6.2 (Mac OS X)

"Stuck" On Watson?  

For those who can't seem to get it through their heads, here it is again:

What happened to Watson was NOT Karelia's fault.

They held up their end of the deal, and continue to do so to this day. If you want to complain about the death of Watson, go complain at SUN, and rip on their products.

Blaming Karelia for SUN's decision to re-neg on their agreement to continue to produce Watson is like blaming the newspaper carrier for the fact that your toaster stopped working. [alert admin]

Open Fire Gold 1.2 (Mac OS X)

Not Freeware  

Developer website states that the game costs $3.99.

Had to give a "Do Not Recommend" based on that. [alert admin]

Very pretty, but freezes the screen  

Your first problem is that you say you're using 10.4.x (Tiger). The release notes clearly state 10.5.x (Leopard) is the required operating system.

Developer's Myopia  

I'm not sure what you're complaining about here, because this program ships without maps.

Perhaps you're referring to the fact that the developer's site contains mostly links to suppliers of US maps that are compatible with his program. This is not his fault, either. He simply sells a program that can utilize those maps - it can also utilize maps in a wide variety of formats (see the program description), you simply have to find and/or…

syrinx bad name choice  

The syrinx is also the vocal organ of a bird, consisting of thin vibrating muscles at or close to the division of the trachea into the bronchi.

And, "Cancer" is also the name of a zodiac sign and a constellation - both of which had their names long before the disease. Should we accuse the ancients of making a bad name choice? I, for one, am proud to be a Cancer.

what is versiontracker coming to?!  

And the federal government can still bust you, with or without a doctor's prescription, and with or without a state law regulating and permitting the sale and use thereof.

Agreed - this is rubbishware.

what the heck  

Did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe (since Chax is a free product), that the developer might not be able to afford Leopard yet, and so he's still working on Tiger.10?

I didn't think so.

Still Beta  

I think you may be confused as to what, exactly, Edgies is. Because, why are you copying apps to the note?

It seems to me that you think Edgies are a tabbed launcher of some sort. Nothing could be further from the truth. A careful (heck, even a cursory) reading of the description shows that Ediges are an alternative to Stickes, and AFAIK, you wouldn't use Stickies as a launcher.

You're asking Edgies to do something it…

Just some thoughts...  

For a similar app with menubar (instead of Dock) display, you may want to check out Moon Menu.

I've been using it for years (since OS 8.6) with no complaints - it's rock-solid and does what it says.

I'm not sure what's more offensive to me:  

What the heck is YOUR problem? You know, I'm fed up with people like you who want to impose their morality and sensibilities on others. *launches Bullet* Here! Take that! And that! Look, it's a program. A tiny little thing designed to relieve stress, that (hopefully) someone uses instead of a REAL gun. And here's a little idea - if you don't like it, don't download it! Oh, wait - you didn't. And yet you felt compelled…

Seems to work  

iChatUSBCam works wonderfully with my QuickCam Zoom and iChat. It's well worth the purchase price. I am available on iChat/AIM as SCAScotMan if you need more info.
