Safari Web Site Validator 1.1 (Mac OS X)
Just select "Bookmarks:Add Bookmark..." right now and name it "Validate via W3" and save it in the "Bookmarks Bar" folder. Select "Bookmarks:Show All Bookmarks". Select the bookmark you created and in the "Address" field enter the following: javascript:window.location="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri="+window.location Now browse to any page and click "Validate via W3" in the book marks bar and it will give you the same result. Take care, -=dave [alert admin]

XBMC 0.4.5 (Mac OS X)
1080p on the Penryn Macbook Pro ! 
I've tried MPlayer OSX, VLC, Perian, and none could play H.264 encoded 1080p content in Matroska containers without catastrophic skips during high-motion scenes... XBMC can. It has some interface issues like not recognizing two-finger taps as CTRL-Clicks very well on the Macbook Pro, but all in all, this is a winner in my book. I expect it to become a nicely polished product in the not to distant future. Congratulations to the porting developer for an initial job well done ! -=dave [alert admin]

duti 1.3 (Mac OS X)
The obvious behavior of setting the triad on the command line itself seems absent. This isn't a text/string/block processing or parsing utility like tr, awk, sed,... it is supposed to modify settings based on a fixed set of parameters. Requiring either a formatted "settings" file or a redirection of formatted stdin seems overkill. But then, if the goal was to be true to the obtuse 1970's origins of BSD, I suppose this is a success :) Always-debatable UI design choices aside, outcome of the man page suggestion to output the existing uti's on the system doesn't seem to show all of them. Is there another method that will show the uti that corresponds to the promoted file extension, or is this only within the corresponding applications imported plist of them? When using Parallels for instance, there appears no way to modify the launching app for a uti if the launching app is a Windows-based exe within a Parallels virtual machine. If this is the fault of Parallels not correctly performing some function when mapping the uti to the Windows-born utility, then I apologize for my ignorance on the subject. However, Mac OS 10.5.2 does launch the app for the uti and I found no way to change it using this utility, but again, I am not a programmer. The suggested reference at http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/understanding_utis/understand_utis.tasks/chapter_3_section_3.html proved of little use due to my admittedly laymen knowledge on the subject. I will continue to research but, again, in the example where vlc.exe (within a Parallels VM running Windows) is the default app for the extension .mkv (however it is being promoted, I assume mime-type ?) it seems impossible to replace the vlc.exe-in-Windows-in-VM with the /Applications/VLC.app. This is the only example where I have attempted to use the utility. I cannot comment on its use for other, more typical scenarios but I expect it to work as advertised. Has much changed since the last line of this page of a circa-2000 article on Arse' ?: (http://arstechnica.com/reviews/2q00/macos-qna/macos-x-qa-2.html) If so I would appreciate a pointer in the right direction toward enlightenment. I welcome your comments/help/ridicule -=dave [alert admin]

Universal Document Converter 4.1 (Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows 2000)
Has good dithering for color redution, but takes a long time to perform dithering. That's all well and good, but the real problem is that it's output formats are way to limited. It doesn't do multi-page documents to single-page serialized TIFFS. It doesn't appear to have a CCITT Group 4 compression output setting (required by for legal review platforms used in the electronic discovery process), and a whole host of other features that other printer drivers have. Good for basic home user, but all-in-all, fairly limted usefulness. [alert admin]

SideTrack 1.0.1 (Mac OS X)
The only reason I purchased an Apple laptop !
When I finally sold my trusty PowerBook 3400 (it finally became to slow) I vowed never to purchase another Macintosh laptop (I only use laptop computers anymore) until they included support for a "Right" mouse button. It has been a few years and although Apple has continued to loose the mark, i was glad to find that a 3rd party was able to pull up the slack. This UI enhancement is the sole reason that I am typing this review on a new G4 iBook today. I think I have registered maybe 5 or 6 shareware applications in my life and I was happy to for this one although it is sad that a 3rd party had to come up with this solution. Apple... just buy this guy's driver and include it in Tiger! If you pimp it out in the "New Features" marketing pitch, you'll probably increase your "switch" rate by 10% or more!!! *only* issue I had with it was inadvertant taps on the pad while typing, but this just required more fine-tuning of the sensitivity and now it is working well.

from the comments on the other Time Machine schedule modification program, you've obviously been using the other program. are your panties in a bunch just because you think the other product is superior ? if so, I suggest you point out why rather than gift us with these pedantic outbursts. *waits to laught at next pedantic outburst...* -=dave

A barcode font only gets you the basic barcode formats like Code 128, Code 93, Telepen, etc. You cannot use a font-only barcode method to generate valid UPC, EAN, or other of the infinitely more common barcode formats. Educate yourself before you are so quick to chastise something you know little :)

In case you weren't aware, there is this programming language called Java that lets developers deploy bytecode binaries that will run on any host platform that has a Java virtual machine installed. This "JVM" interprets the bytecode binary and runs it exactly as it would on any platform. Guess what the "J" in JaSftp stands for ? You guessed it... J(ava). Those are NOT "PC folder icons" but icons and scroll bars from the main…

watch out! (needs AC adaptor handy)
this is only required if you updated via a USB dock cable vs a Firewire (as USB is only 5v vs Firewire's 12v)

One small improvement, but only for podcasts
The iPod photo has done this since it's inception. They have probably done more tests and made more optimizations for some of the older iPods with slower processors to perform in-menu auto-scrolling.
