Apple Boot Camp 2.1 (Mac OS X)

run the Apple Software Update in Windows  

You may have missed this near the top of the page... "run the Apple Software Update in Windows" You update from your Win partition, not from the Mac OSX side. [alert admin]

LogitechLCDTool 0.7b (Mac OS X)

Agreed  

Anyone who provides support for Logitech anything on a Mac is a hero. I'm just glad that my basic two-button/scrollwheel mouse works without the Logitech "driver". [alert admin]

Apple.com Daily Special 1.51 (Mac OS X)

I smell a troll...  

Folks: When you spot a troll--one who posts to inflame--don't bother with the not helpful button. Click on the admin alert button, type the word troll and send it along. The admin alert button will also provide a link to the submissions guidelines. I'm guessing that a recent poster has broken more that a few guidelines. [alert admin]

VLC RAR-Loader 1.1 (Mac OS X)

Basic fuctionality is there  

I could not get droplet launching to work (drag a rar segment to the RAR-Loader icon in the dock). If I launch RAR-Loader and open a rar segment then I am fine. Once playing video, I can't scrub to another portion of the video. The VLC controller seems to be limited to pause toggle only. Playlist functionality is also missing. Thus, I can't load a "2-CD" video for seamless playback. Summary: RARs are obsolete. High-speed internet means no need to split files for download. Video compression (AVI, MPEG, etc.) means no benefit from further compression. This add-on eliminates a bit of the pointless un-raring, but is still beta quality. Marginal thumbs up. I'm running VLC 0.8.2 in OSX 10.3.9. [alert admin]

Apple Broadband Tuner 1.0 (Mac OS X)

Says I can't install...  

Says I can't install, but doesn't say why. I'm running 10.3.9. Are there other requirements? If so, the Apple site doesn't say so. I'll try Software Update to see if some "security" update is what is holding me back. [alert admin]

pearLyrics 0.5 (Mac OS X)

This app is getting close...  

Modified artist names seem to throw pearLyrics for a loop. Examples include: The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Elvis Costello & The Attractions and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Songs for Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Costello or Tom Petty are found with no problem. Disguise the artist just a little bit and it's usually not found or the wrong lyrics. Perhaps the parser can be tweaked to overcome this? I'd prefer not to have to simplify all of my artist names as a workaround. [alert admin]

MozoDojo 1.1 (Mac OS X)

For a quality mosaic...  

For a quality mosaic, you need a huge number of pictures for the program to work with. I'll make the obvious suggestion to add web search terms to the program. This, literally, adds a world pf pictures to your mosaic. [alert admin]

Blades of Avernum 1.1.1 (Mac OS X)

Turn-based gaming system  

No problems with the update. BoA is a wonderful, retro, turn-based gaming system. It comes with 4 scenarios, plus you can write your own scenarios and/or play those written by others. It is currently available for Windows. [alert admin]

Defrag now more likely to be necessary  

Valid comments, but keep in mind changing usage by many Mac users. Video files are not just for video professionals any more. Camcorder transfers, DVD rips and iTunes Store purchases are more and more common on the average user's HD. Files over 20MB are the "big" files which Apple's built-in anti-fragmentation functionality has problems with. I have one direcory with 40 files bigger than that, and I'm no video nut. Also, a little fragmentation begats more…

The behaviour belongs to the quality  

He's saying that the developer is a doofus and that he'll pass on being a beta tester.

No RAR  

It would be more accurate to say that I never download LARGE files on USENET.

No doze Mac  

Just set computer sleep to "never" in the Energy Saver pane. Your display will still sleep independently. BTW: Don't ask the developer any questions. He's not that user-friendly. His apps, more so.

Buyer Beware.  

We're talking about $10 programs here, people. How many uses make it worth your while? Shareware developers can't be held to the same standards as commercial developers. And, yes, commercial develppers abandon programs, too.

Too biased for me.  

Okay, we get that you're anti-American. It sounds like the app works just fine, in spite of its "Americaness" and a few non-intuitive preferences. A few responses to your quibbles and general ignorance: The developer just might be based in Muskegon, Michigan, USA. Remove that city in the City Manager. I do, and I'm from Michigan. He might differentiate between the US and International because he's based in the US, or it might be because the weather info…
