PodTube 2.1 (Mac OS X)
I'd had numerous problems with the Firefox extensions which allow you to d/l embedded movies and searched for a solution. I just downloaded the Demo, tried it out a couple of times and it worked exactly as advertised. One click, a short wait, and the movie is in iTunes. Pretty cool. Cheap, too. [alert admin]

Art Text 1.0.6 (Mac OS X)
Enter your own numerical values
Just a quick reminder for using the aspects of the application which have sliders with text boxes for entry of numerical values. If the slider effect isn't quite enough, simply enter a larger numerical value in the text box than that shown by the slider at maximum. Works in depth, glow, distance, blur boxes. [alert admin]

GroBoto 2.0.3 (Mac OS X)
I'm new to GroBoto but reasonably skilled in a variety of 3D apps. As a result, GroBoto, although a serious program, plays like a toy. It is completely intuitive with a learning curve best discovered by playing around. In the most basic function, you take any one of a variety of preset primitives (you can seriously modify them as well) to which are applied patterns vaguely akin to fractals. So you start with a seeded shape or 'bot' and then grow the imgae...GroBot...Oh! Within GroBoto is a very good rendering engine and texture collection but personally I export the models as groups or even individual elements to use in Vue or Poser where greater access to texture creation exists. On a slower machine you have to watch it when building a scene as the primitive bots can build up amazingly fast so keep an eye on the object count. Another thing to pay attention to is that there are two distinct techniques, auto and draw. The auto feature is simply press a button and go, "oh wow!" But with the draw feature you can populate your scenes with primitives almost like the Image Hose in Painter. As you would guess, I'm very enthusiastic about the application. Think of this, if you need alien sculptures for a world you are rendering, there's nothing better or more fun. As a Universal Binary, it's optimized for Intel Macs, too. [alert admin]

ImageViewerCMPlugIn 2.3 (Mac OS X)
As a graphic artist who runs through great numbers of images, I've always used some contextual menu for quickly viewing images. Until my Mac Pro, I used Hide Itoh's great series of contextual menus (and found them so valuable that I donated $10 for each of them) but they broke on my Mac Pro. I just 'discovered' ImageViewerCMPlugin and was delighted. Not only does it replace three of Hide's individual CMPs but displays more image types and additionally allows drilling down directories. This is a very valuable item for any professional or enthusiast who sees a great many images and for whom time and simplicity counts. For it's functionality, the price is very modest. [alert admin]

MenuMeters 1.3 (Mac OS X)
Although I've had MenuMeters for some time I just discovered that it provides menu reports for all four cores of a Mac Pro, not just each processor as Cee Pee You does. Very good! [alert admin]

EarthquakeX 1.1 (Mac OS X)
Open the Activity Monitor, select Earthquake from the running processes and hit the quit process button (red octagon). Hey this is silly, but fun here in California! [alert admin]

ChocoFlop 0.45 (Mac OS X)
Most interesting use of CoreImage so far...
As a Photoshop user, I found ChocoFlop to be instantly comprehensible, and the cleverest utilization of the CoreImage filters so far. I'm not giving it a rating until it reaches a final release but I'd suggest people try the beta. It is very well done. [alert admin]

Desktop Curtain 1.0 (Mac OS X)
I like desktop images because I make them. I don't like them when using a serious application like Photoshop. Here's where Desktop Curtain comes in handy. I use it to provide a neutral gray backdrop for real work and have it placed on top of my desktop icon so I have a clear grey background with no icon clutter. With no CPU overhead and little memory (I've checked), I have a neutral desktop for work or screenshots. A contextual menu quit and it's gone, I'm back to my desktop picture. I used to use Backdrop.app (a fine little freeware app.) but DC requires no dock icon and can never be the foremost app. This means that all your open windows automatically float on top of it withour having to click on a dock icon to bring them forward.

Actually Hide Itoh's plugins don't do more than this and they are only free if you don't have the appreciation of the value to donate a payment.

Hi Larry, Good! Your positive experience proves my conviction that the experience I had would not be a universal one. I don't know if it was trying to swap button functions to set up for a lefty or some more obscure conflict on my very customized Mac. The mouse and drivers work well on my PC so I'm not going to explore further. I will say that I still prefer the Intellimouse Optical with USB Overdrive…

I had the same issue and gave up after 45 minutes with only about half the icons installed. It was requesting my password for each icon, I believe. Finally I trashed the half modified Safari and got a fresh version with Pacifist. Hope there's an update. I like Safaricon!

Mouse feature missing with Mac OS 10.3.8 
I don't believe you will find any input software for OS X with the snap-to feature. When USB Overdirve was in Beta (4 years ago now?) I had a discussion with the developer, Alessandro Levi Montalcini, via email. He said that because of system changes the snap-to feature would require significant system hacks, if it could be done at all. He told me that it would not return to USB Overdrive as he didn't trust…

Other Adobe Products will Do Same
I believe you are mistaken. Both Illustrator CS and Photoshop CS won't allow you to open a password protected PDF without the password.

Beware moving your fonts to a new computer
I've moved my system to a new hard drive via cloning, always had a cloned external backup which works just fine and upgraded twice via archive and install without having the problem you describe. I will be cautious with a new computer now, though. Thanks for the warning.
