Joomla 1.5 (Mac OS X)

A great CMS  

joomla is a great cms (content management system). i used it to build a couple of web sites that i needed to be updateable by non-web-savvy people, and it's great. there are a boatload of extensions for it that can make it do all kinds of things, from e-commerce to user management to group management to file hosting and so on. highly recommended!! (not sure why it's listed in versiontracker, as it's just php and web-based so you access it through any browser) [alert admin]

Vine Viewer 3.0 (Mac OS X)

License fee sucks...  

i'd be all over this, were it not for the $30 fee PER COMPUTER YOU WANT TO USE IT ON. i do a lot of vnc'ing to/from multiple computers. the vine server is free, but the viewer is $30 per computer and i think that's unfair, it's just a way to lock down use of the program and force you to buy more copies. if i buy a copy, shouldn't i be able to use it anywhere i want, so long as i'm the only one using my registered copy? i use alternative vnc viewers and look forward to experimenting with leopard's new built-in vnc so i can avoid bad deals like this.

TiffanyScreens 2.5.1 (Mac OS X)

There are others...  

The developer's comment that before this program, the only way to achieve this was using a projector is not correct. VNC can do all this and more, as can iChat if yyou add a screen transmitting extension. So can gotomypc.com and other such networking clients. [alert admin]

InstantShot! 2.1 (Mac OS X)

do we need this?  

does this product do anything that apple's free included "grab" software (in the utilities folder) doesn't do?? i don't think so. [alert admin]

Double 2.0.4 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)

don't like the tile icons  

i totally dig that this is a free game (thanks for that!) but the tiles are really similar and hard to tell apart. i desperately need some new tile sets before this game is useful at all...until then i'll stick to the better shareware ones. [alert admin]

DreamCatcher 1.1 (Mac OS X)

good idea but primitive  

it's a great product idea, but unfortunately, approximately worth what i paid for it. problems: (1) it has severe work priority problems. it takes up a ridiculous amount of cpu (though it seems to spike and be worse at some times more than others). it's taking nearly 150% of my dual 2.0 g5 according to activity monitor. (2) it sure would be nice to be able to stop the analysis and look at the results so far. if scanning a very large site, there's a cancel button, but no way to make it look at only part of the site (assuming everything in the web site is linked to everything else. this lack makes it near impossible to use it to scan a very large site unless i leave it running overnight when i don't need my computer. (3) a bit of documentation wouldn't hurt. i changed the maximum search depth to 2 levels but it's still scanning far deeper than that. (maybe it means 2 levels of each page that it finds?)

TV Tracker 1.5.2 (Mac OS X)

Cool when it works...WHEN it works...  

it's a cool-looking widget...unfortunately, it just stops working (forgets its configuration, prompts you to reconfigure it, then never lets you. something went horribly wrong and i wish they'd update it quickly because it's just frustrating to think you can rely on this widget to always be there, then it fails you.

Getting better..  

this is a great point. hopefully it's just phoning home to check for the latest version. HOWEVER one day someone is gonna write a program like this which is silently going to transmit the IP and the password(s) used - which will be a HUGE breach of security. mark my words, this is an accident waiting to happen. i'm not saying that this program is doing it, i'm just saying that when a program like…
