Suitcase Fusion 12.0 (Mac OS X)
... but of course it is merely a coincidence if the last 2 reviewers registered the same day this app was released to write top-rated posts. [alert admin]

ASCII Viewer 2.9 (Mac OS X)
One has just to enter "ascii" in the VT software search window to find several free programs that will do what this rip-off claims, not to mention typing man ascii in Terminal. [alert admin]

ITunes Current Song Menu 1.5 (Mac OS X)
Better off using an app called 'iController' - it's free and scrolls for you - couple that with 'Dock Art' and it's iTunes heaven. : what's the point in using this on OS X 10.4 or even 10.3 for that matter? Tiger has it's own iTunes controller dashboard widget which does all this. And if you're not on Tiger, you can simply use the slim controller window in iTunes itself... This company makes lots of useless programs, and thinks people will buy them??? : Another fine product from AlphaOmega Shovelware! I can think of no fewer than three products that provide similar or identical functionality (SizzlingKeys, iScrobbler, and Synergy Classic) and two of those are free. (As a user of iScrobbler *and* Synergy Classic, I have too many freakin' menus as it is.) Granted, this one will pop open a Google search for the song lyrics, but that's not saying much. Compare the screenshot on this page: http://www.yellowmug.com/sk4it/ with the one provided below. Which piece of software seems to have more thought and time and work put into it? And which one is free? Curious, that. : Try RecentTunes, it's free and does more. [alert admin]

CalculateSizeCM 1.3 (Mac OS X)
This company's products are just awesome. Be sure to check their website for more of their CM plugins. Indeed, seldom an hour passes on my mac without using one of them. Just GREAT! [alert admin]

Namely 1.1.1 (Mac OS X)
Excellent but it needs some way to call it to front when needed. Too bad we've to go to the dock each time we need it. Kinda defeats the purpose of the program, as I can open an application (almost) as fast using XMenu (We're speaking tenths of seconds here). [alert admin]

This program costs $19.00, not $5.00... A complete rip-off.

There is only one post by this user on VT so it's most probably a fake.

I don't see what all the fuss is about...
Well, MPlayer will do it for free, and VLC too when you go to Video/Aspect-ratio.

Did a bit of research.. indeed the plural form was "dwarf" until Tolkien came with the form "dwarves" which become an acceptable alternative, albeit with a nuanced meaning. From Wikipedia: Dwarf is an interesting case: the common form of the plural was dwarfs — as, for example, in Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs — until J. R. R. Tolkien popularised dwarves; he intended the changed spelling to differentiate the "dwarf" race in his…

Checking my Webster's dictionnary, they list "dwarves" as an alternative spelling for plural. It would be interesting to do some research to check if the form originated with Tolkien or if it became popular after the release his works. Any linguist here?

In English, the plural of "dwarf" is "dwarfs". The plural form "dwarves" originated with J.R.R. Tolkien (see The Lord of the Rings, Appendix F for details). It is a quite acceptable spelling in a fantasy world game. Now, by the way, what about the game?
